Original European Cover

"Automatic Lover (Call for Love)" is a hit single by the German Eurodance / Pop music project Real McCoy (M.C. Sar & The Real McCoy) from their album Another Night (1995), which is the U.S. version of the project's second album Space Invaders. The song was first produced in 1994 in Germany by music producers Juergen Wind (J. Wind) and Frank Hassas (Quickmix) under the producer team name Freshline.

While the single ultimately failed to match the massive success of "Another Night," "Run Away" and "Come and Get Your Love" it still managed to reach the Top 20 spot in a number of countries including Germany, Sweden and Australia.

Critical reception

The Gavin Report wrote about the song: "Tally up the spins that O-Jay, Patsy and Vanessa have logged in the States since the release of "Another Night" and it's nothing short of staggering. That figure is certain to grow thanks to this high-energy production."[1]
