Advantages: It's got the original; it's a bit of group history
Disadvantages: Whose biggest hits?

...version, which is perhaps not surprising as Oldham was a co-author and also produced her record. The song appeared as the 'B'-side of "19th Nervous Breakdown" in the UK. 7. Play With Fire (02:23) Percussion, tinkling keyboards and guitars play against each other in this version which sounds as if it were recorded in a large cavern.

This is a luv-making track to put on when you've returned back from the club a victor, the girl obviously ditched the other guy (see the previous track). Love songs are moans for the record. and Dream is not afraid to borrow a few sounds back off J Holiday to make this track sound almost as though its his 'Bed'. *11, Livin a Lie ft. Rihanna (4.16), 5* *12, Mama (4.02), 3* The-Dream is the reason Rihanna... Read review
