"It's Gonna Be Alright" (also known as "It's Gonna Be Alright (Help is on the Way)") is a 1995 song by Dutch house project Deep Zone featuring vocals by American singer Ceybil Jefferies.[1] It became a big club anthem and a chart success in Europe, peaking at number seven in Belgium, number 14 in the UK and number 20 in the Netherlands. Outside Europe, it peaked at number-one in Israel in May 1996, and at number 20 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in the US.

Critical reception[]

Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as "a joyfully optimistic romp merging edgy house beats with keyboards that are, by turns, jazzy and retro-disco." He added, "Life in the urban lane has done wonders for Jeffries' voice, which is now far more assured and smooth."[2] Brad Beatnik from Music Week's RM Dance Update rated it four out of five, writing, "It features a wicked, subtle bassline which is cleverly incorporated into deep, upfront, disco and garage styles across the many mixes. The vocal keeps it soulful throughout and there's definitely something here for everyone."[3]

Upon the 1996 re-release, the magazine gave it four out of five, noting, "Already big in Europe, this uplifting house anthem has some wonderful mixes including Farley & Heller's, but the DJ Guan mix is the one to get the hands in the air."[4] Michael Morley from Muzik stated that "this is a very classy outing with several particularly notable ingredients. The vocals are clear and forceful, there's some sterling keyboard work and the strong arrangement is a fascinating series of peaks and troughs."[5]

Music video[]

A music video was produced to promote the single. It depicts Ceybil Jeffries singing while she is holding two horses, one on each side of her. Other scenes show the singer performing in a desert landscape with some camels. In between, there are black and white shots of youth hanging out on the street in a city and also some sepia toned footage of old people gathering.
