"Tell Me the Way" is a song by Italian group Cappella, released in 1995 via various European labels, as the first single from the group's third studio album, War in Heaven. It features new singer Alison Jordan, who replaced Kelly Overett after she left the group.[1] It was a notable hit in many European countries, peaking at number 8 in Italy, number 15 in Finland, number 17 in the UK and number 20 in the Netherlands. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it reached number 33.

Critical reception[]

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote that "as long as Cappella is around you can postpone Euro dance's funeral. The one-line chorus is simple but utterly effective, while the pumping synths will turn dancefloors into trampolines."[2] James Hamilton from British magazine Music Week's RM Dance Update described it as a "distinctive high-pitched title line chant".[3]
