I Should've Known Better

Mica Paris · 1990
Recording

Mica Paris recorded the track in 1990 with Omar Lye-Fook, and it appeared as the B-side to her single "South of the River." The original release was issued by 4th & Broadway. The track gained attention as a B-side that club DJs and dancers embraced. It became one of the better-known deep cuts from Paris’s 1990 era with Omar. The song later resurfaced through sampling, including records by 4 Hero, S.M.F., and Daley featuring Jessie J. Its continued circulation keeps it associated with the early-1990s UK soul and club crossover around Mica Paris.
