Running Around Town

"Running Around Town" is a 1995 song by German artist Billie Ray Martin, the former lead singer of Electribe 101, and was released as the second single from her debut solo album, "Deadline for My Memories". Written by Martin, it reached moderate success on the charts in Europe, peaking at number 19 in Finland and number 29 in the UK. It also reached number 3 on the US "Billboard" Hot Dance Club Play chart and number 22 on the "Billboard" Dance Sales chart. A music video was also made to accompany the song.
Critical reception.
John Bush from AllMusic described the song as "magical" electro-pop. Larry Flick from "Billboard" wrote, "Brian "B.T." Transeau produced this smoker with a trance/house urgency that complements Martin's expectedly melodramatic performance. The two were behind the board for the easily programmable Jacob's Ladder remix." "The Irish Times" noted its "wonderful sweep". "Music Week" gave it 3 out of 5, adding, "Martin's voice isn't to all tastes but she works with the right producers (BT in this case), and this uptempo dance record has claims on a chart place." The magazine's "RM" Dance Update deemed it "another great vocal perfomance and a club smash". James Hamilton called it a "trancey groove". J.D. Considine for "Vibe" said that the singer "adds oomph" to a "hard-thumping workout".
