"Feels Like Heaven" is a 1993 song by British dance band Urban Cookie Collective. It was released as the second single from their album, High on a Happy Vibe. The song was released on 1 November 1993 as the follow-up to "The Key The Secret" and peaked at number five on the UK Singles Chart, staying in the chart for nine consecutive weeks. The vocals were by Diane Charlemagne, who had provided the vocal for the band's previous hit and their subsequent singles.[2]

Critical reception[]

Andy Beevers from Music Week gave "Feels Like Heaven" five out of five. He wrote, "The follow-up to The Key The Secret unsurprisingly sticks to pretty much the same infectious upbeat house formula. It should not have much trouble following its predecessor into the Top 40, although it may not reach the same dizzy heights."[3] The magazine's RM Dance Update described it as a "bright and catchy sequel".[4]

Chart performance[]

"Feels Like Heaven" proved to be successful on the charts in Europe, Canada and Australia. In Europe, it managed to climb into the top 10 in Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as well as on MTV's European Top 20, where it reached number three. In the UK, the single peaked at number five in its second week at the UK Singles Chart, on 14 November 1993, and spent nine weeks on the chart.[5][6] Additionally, it was a top-20 hit in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Sweden, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it reached number 17. But on the European Dance Radio Chart, it was a even bigger hit, peaking at number one. Outside Europe, "Feels Like Heaven" went to number four on the RPM Dance Chart in Canada, number 10 in Australia and number 47 in New Zealand.

Music video[]

A music video was made for "Feels Like Heaven", directed by British director Lindy Heymann.[7] It sees the band performing the song on a beach. Heymann also directed the music video for the band's first hit, "The Key the Secret".
