AllMusic[1]

I Ain't Movin is the second studio album by British soul singer-songwriter Des'ree. It was released on 11 May, 1994 in the UK, and 5 July 1994 in the US on Epic Records, and features the top 5 smash hit, "You Gotta Be". Tom Demalon of allmusic gave the album 4 of 5 stars, saying that "Des'ree possesses a pleasing vocal delivery, and it serves her well on songs like the slinky, mid-tempo "Feel So High", the breezy "Little Child", the hypnotic groove of "Trip on Love" and the confessional title cut."

Singles

Three singles were released from I Ain't Movin, "You Gotta Be", "I Ain't Movin'" and "Little Child". In the US, "Feel So High" was featured on and released as a single from I Ain't Movin' rather than from Des'ree's debut album Mind Adventures. The song was added to the re-issue of the UK edition of the album, which was released in 2000. "You Gotta Be" was also remixed and re-released in the UK in 1995. The "Kissing You" single was included as a bonus CD with the Australian reissue of the album in 1997.
