One More Time (Real McCoy album)

One More Time is the forth studio album by German Eurodance group Real McCoy. This was the second album from the group to be released under Arista Records and the third under BMG Berlin. It was the follow-up to the multi-platinum selling album Another Night. Music producer Juergen Wind (J. Wind) wrote and produced the album with the Sweden based production team known as Lemon Productions (Per Adebratt, Douglas Carr & Tony Ekman). American songwriter Brent Argovitz and German rapper Olaf Jeglitza worked together as songwriters on the album. A producer duo known as the Berman Brothers also produced a Shania Twain cover for the album and made the remixes for the singles. For promotional reasons, Jeglitza was credited as an Executive Producer alongside Wind and Arista Records CEO Clive Davis. Released worldwide in early 1997, the album failed to match the success of its predecessor, peaking at No. 55 on the Canadian Hot 100 and No. 79 on the US Billboard 200. The lead single from the album, (also called "One More Time"), reached No.3 in Australia and achieved Platinum status in the country but saw lesser success in the US, peaking at No. 27 on the charts. The follow-up singles "I Wanna Come (With You)" and the Shania Twain cover "(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here!" failed to chart and were also commercial failures.

Critical reception

William Cooper from AllMusic gave the album a negative review, saying; "only the title track, a catchy, lightweight piece of pop fluff, makes any kind of impression. Most of One More Time is empty filler, and a couple of moments are unbearable: the silly "I Wanna Come (With You)" teases with the provocative title but fails to deliver, and the absurd Euro-pop remake of Shania Twain's "If You're Not in It for Love (I'm Outta Here)" is awful, but it isn't even bad enough to be fun. European dance acts rarely have a long shelf life, and this album proves The Real McCoy is no exception. Stick with the debut."^[1]
