Nomad – Devotion 1990 (Official Music Video) Remastered

Nomad Feat. MC Mikee Freedom – (I Wanna Give You) Devotion 1990 (Official Music Video) Remastered @Videos80s

«(I Wanna Give You) Devotion» is a song by English electronic group Nomad, released in 1990 (UK/Europe) and 1991 (US). It was the second single from their only album, Changing Cabins, released later in 1991. It was a number-one hit in Greece and a top 5 hit in the UK, where it reached number two. In the US, it peaked at number-one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in June 1991 and stayed there for one week. MTV Dance ranked the song number 32 in their list of «The 100 Biggest 90s Dance Anthems of All Time» in November 2011.
Background and release

The track was produced by Damon Rochefort, who also shares writing credits with fellow Nomad member Steve McCutcheon and rapper MC Mikee Freedom. It also quotes from the earlier club hit «Devotion» by Ten City. Although Freedom and singer Sharon Dee Clarke were the featured artists on this track when it was released in the United Kingdom and other territories (even though Freedom was the only one to get his name credited), they were listed as uncredited in the US single version up until the act’s full-length CD, Changing Cabins, was released Stateside in the autumn of 1991.

The song is notable for being the first song that Steve Mac ever wrote. When asked about the track and its success in an April 2010 interview, Mac said:

It was a real accident. I just remember struggling to get the drums right – I didn’t really know how to work the sequencer properly. I didn’t have that much knowledge of what I was doing, and I think if I had then it wouldn’t have been as good a track. I love the naiveté of what I was doing back then, and I miss that a little bit now.

In addition to the rap version, there is also a Soul Mix version that features Clarke’s vocal performance without the rap. Both versions along with the Italo house version are included on the Changing Cabins CD.
