"Everytime You Touch Me" is a song by American electronica musician Moby, released on February 13, 1995 by Mute and Elektra, as the third single from his third studio album, Everything Is Wrong (1995). [2] Guest vocals on the song are performed by Rozz Morehead and Kochie Banton. It became a number-one hit in Finland and reached the top 20 in Ireland, the Netherlands, and Scotland, as well as on the Canadian RPM Dance chart. Its music video was directed by Julie Hermelin.
Before the release of the "Everytime You Touch Me" single, US and UK remix competitions were held (a "remix parts" track having been included on some versions of Moby's previous single, "Feeling So Real"). The winning remixes, made by Jude Sebastian (UK) and John Blackford (US), were included on various versions of the "Everytime You Touch Me" releases. [3] In 2000, a 12-inch single was pressed in honor of the other remix contestants.
A related promotional EP entitled Disk was released by Elektra in 1995. It was issued as an enhanced CD with both standard audio tracks, music videos, and CD-ROM content. The disc has a program which allows users to remix "Everytime You Touch Me" and view QuickTime interview clips.
Steve Baltin from Cash Box complimented the song as a "delightful disco number". [4] Dele Fadele from NME felt "the gilded electro-pop splinters" of the original was "too obviously commercial". [5] Barry Walters for Spin wrote, "Soul sister Rozz Morehead rides the hyper-house beats like an old-school disco diva on the should-be dance floor smash "Everytime You Touch Me"." [6]
The accompanying music video for "Everytime You Touch Me" was directed by Julie Hermelin. [7] She had previously directed the video for "Feeling So Real", which also featured Rozz Morehead.
