"Land of the Living" is a song by Kristine W, released as the third and final single from her album Land of the Living.

Release

The single was a huge club hit but only reached #57 on the UK Singles Chart.[1] It spent two weeks at #1 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in November 1996, the singer's third #1 on this survey.[2]

Patti LaBelle and Kristine W covered the song as a duet on Labelle's 2005 cover album Classic Moments.

Critical reception

Billboard wrote about the song: "She returns with the title track to her deservedly acclaimed debut, a melancholy pop/house anthem that beautifully showcases her formidable pipes and dramatic flair. With its affecting and intelligent lyrics, "Land Of The Living" deftly squashes the idea that all dance music is fluffy and mindless."[3]
