"Antony Hegarty is an unlikely candidate for disco divahood - with his
mournful voice, songs about body dysmorphia and album covers featuring
dying drag queens, he seems a bit tragic for glittery dancefloor abandon - but his appearance here is inspired. It gives the song a dark emotional pull, turning it from a straightforward dance track into an elegy, written by people who arrived in New York long after Aids had brought the disco era's freewheeling hedonism to a terrible close: "I wish the light could shine now, for it is closer/ It makes my past and my future painfully clear."
