"Just Another Dream" is a song by Cathy Dennis, released as her debut solo single in 1989. It initially failed to enter the UK charts, and was later re-issued in 1990, and then again in 1991. It was released in the United States with a different version (a shorter edit of the album version). "Just Another Dream" reached the Billboard top 10 in January 1991, peaking at No. 9 on February 2, 1991. It also peaked at number two for three weeks on the dance charts.[1] Alex Henderson of AllMusic wrote that it is one of the CD's high points.[2]
"Just Another Dream" was re-released in the UK (July 1991) with the same version and artwork as the US single release. This time it received substantial radio airplay and peaked at No. 13. The song was co-written by Dancin' Danny D (real name Daniel Kojo Poku) a.k.a D Mob who also produced the track and sang backing vocals. His uncanny resemblance to Rick Astley's vocals has often lead to people mistakenly thinking that it was Rick Astley on the recording.
Critical reception
Music & Media described the song as "quality commercial dance pop. The groove stands tall while the sweet melodic pop melody seems just right for Dennis' fresh girl-next-door vocals. Kylie in clubland.[3]
Music video
Two videos were produced for the different releases, the first was directed by Russel Young and the second was directed by Greg Masuak.
