"Say... If You Feel Alright" is a song recorded by American singer and songwriter Crystal Waters, released in 1997 by Mercury Records as the first and lead single from her third album, Crystal Waters (1997). Waters co-wrote the song with Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, who also produced it. It reached number 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 45 on the UK Singles Chart. It was also a top-40 hit in New Zealand. The accompanying music video for the song was directed by Academy Awards-nominated American film producer, screenwriter, cinematographer, and director Marc Smerling.[1]

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

J.D. Considine from The Baltimore Sun felt that "Say... If You Feel Alright", "with its Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis production, is a disappointment".[2] Larry Flick from Billboard magazine wrote, "Die-hard Waters disciples who have been getting antsy for a follow-up to her 1994 Storyteller opus should find temporary solace in this stomping anthem, lifted from the NBA at 50 compilation. That distinctive feline voice is in full bloom, as she vamps and purrs with glee over a hearty dance beat that will make peak-hour holiday parties sizzle. The song's hook is potent enough to trigger realistic hopes of an easy transition onto top 40 airwaves. Now then, about that new album, Ms. Waters ..."[3]

Alan Jones from Music Week commented, "Crystal Waters makes a fine return to form with 'Say... If You Feel Alright', a song she co-wrote with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, which uses Earth, Wind & Fire's 'September' as its inspiration. It's another of those singalong things she does so well and comes in a radio friendly, succinct edit plus more epic and harder club mixes."[4]
