"So in Love with You" is a 1994 song released by British singer, songwriter and producer Mark Carson Adams under the name Duke. It is his biggest hit and was included on his 1995 album, The 10 Commandments Of Love. The single's radio edit is mixed by Norman Cook, as Pizzaman. It reached number 3 in the Netherlands and number 12 in Flemish Belgium. The track has since been remixed and re-released several times; in 1996, 2000, 2001 and 2012. The 1996 version peaked at number 4 in Italy and number 22 in the UK. In 1997, it reached number-one on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the US. A music video was also made to accompany the song, featuring the singer performing it wearing a white suit.

Critical reception[]

Larry Flick from Billboard described "So in Love with You" as a "vibrant disco ditty", noting that Duke "brings a friendly vibe to the song with a voice that is actually better suited to pop airwaves than underground dance-floors—though there's plenty here for club kids to nosh on".[1] Pan-European magazine Music & Media stated that "falsettos are rare. Here's the first convincing high-pitched male pop singer since Jimmy Sommerville. Duke has apparently listened a lot to Marvin Gaye's What's Going On."[2] Upon the 1995 re-release, they commented that the song "with its mid-tempo romanticism is one of those songs that sound awfully familiar, even though it's the first time you hear them."[3] Music Week's RM Dance Update said it is "a great track in its own right — lots of Latin flavour topped with Duke's cool vocals".[4] The magazine's James Hamilton declared it as a "simply marvellous Marvin Gaye/William DeVaughn-ish falsetto soulful European smash with a madly infectious summery humming 'la-la-la-la-la na' refrain".[5]
