"U Got 2 Let the Music" is a song by Italian group Cappella and is taken from their album U Got 2 Know.

Background

Cappella started as a studio project with Italian producer and manager Gianfranco Bortolotti and his record company Media Record's team of DJs and producers ganging together, striving for the perfect commercial dance formula. The band had some minor hits in the late 80s and early 90s with singles like "Bauhaus (Push the Beat)" (1987), "Helyom Halib" (1989) and "Take Me Away" (1992). After Cappella became progressively more commercial, and received sustained success Bortolotti chose British singer/dancer Kelly Overett and American rapper Rodney Bishop as a regular public face of the band.[1] "U Got 2 Let The Music" would be the first release with Overett and Bishop.

Release

"U Got 2 Let the music" was released as a single in 1993 and was the fourth from their second studio album U Got 2 Know. The song had a great success in many countries including the UK, where it reached number 2 on the singles chart. It was held off from the top spot only by Meat Loaf's "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)". In Austria, Finland and Switzerland "U Got 2 Let the Music", peaked at number 1. On the Eurochart Hot 100 the single entered at number 46 in October, 1993 and it peaked at number 4 on 15 January 1994. The song did also chart in Australia, Japan and Southeast Asia.[1]
