Setting uplifting songs of love and modern-city life to a mid-tempo, hook-laden blend of reggae, calypso, rap, and British pop, Des'ree has risen to the upper echelon of British R&B. Although she failed to reach an American audience with her 1992 duet with Terence Trent D'Arby, "Delicate," despite it being a Top Ten hit in the U.K., she made up for it with her second album, I Ain't Movin', two years later. The album's single, "You Gotta Be," became the most played video on VH1, spent 80 weeks on the ~Billboard charts, and was included on a highly visible tribute album for %Diana, Princess of Wales. Driven by the song's success, I Ain't Movin' sold more than 16 million copies.
