Where Love Lives

Alison Limerick recorded the song as her solo debut after signing to Arista in 1990. It was written and produced by Lati Kronlund, who chose Limerick for her two-octave range and met her after hearing her sing in London; the song later became identified with the Frankie Knuckles and David Morales remix campaign that followed. The track launched Limerick’s solo career and gave British house a major club anthem at the start of the 1990s. It was a key early Arista dance release and was later recognized by the BBC Radio 2 dance-record poll as one of the era’s defining records. Where Love Lives remained a durable club record through successive reissues and remixes, including a 1996 revival that took it into the UK Top 10 and renewed its presence on dance floors. It has continued to be cited as a house classic and covered or referenced in later projects, including Brooklyn Funk Essentials’ later reworking.
