"Another Day Comes (Another Day Goes)" is a song by English singer Kiki Dee, released in 1986 as the first single from her eighth studio album Angel Eyes . The song was written by David A. Stewart and produced by Stewart and Patrick Seymour.
The song was recorded at the Church Studios and EMI Studios in London. [1] In 2008, Dee recalled of working with Stewart on the track, "Dave opened up the channels for me recording again. I will always have a huge amount of respect for him and his music." [2]
The song failed to reach the top 100 of the UK Singles Chart, stalling at number 117 in February 1986. [3] It fared better in the Record Mirror Eurobeat chart, where the 12-inch format reached number 2 in April. [4] The "Nightmare Mix" by Ian Levine, also released on 12-inch vinyl, then repeated the success by also reaching number 2 in May 1986. [5]
Upon its release, Phil McNeill of Number One considered "Another Day Comes (Another Day Goes)" to be "interesting" and predicted it would be a hit. He added, "This is kind of arhythmical, shuffling along at bewildering speed with a gospel chorus and trumpet solo." [6] John Lee of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner felt Dee had "done better than this" in the past. He described the song as "a strange mix of styles" and "a pale imitation of Eurythmics, crossed with Kate Bush". He added that Dee's vocals sounded like "the female equivalent of Chris Rea". [7] Music & Media picked the song as one of their "sure hits" in their issue of 22 February 1986. [8]
Jerry Smith of Music Week stated that, despite Stewart's heavy involvement and appearances from Hugh Masekela on trumpet and Feargal Sharkey on backing vocals, it "still sounds like a sub-standard Eurythmics number". He added, "It would no doubt have benefited by having gone the whole way by using Annie Lennox as it doesn't suit Dee's voice." [9] Penny Reel of NME called it an "ugly, monotonous and cliché-ridden high energy dirge" with "a nod in the direction of Eurythmics". She added that Dee "performs [it] with what [she] probably likes to think of as passion, or a prolonged screech to you and me". [10]
