"Tell Me the Way" is a song by Italian musical group Cappella, released in July 1995 as the first single from their third studio album, War in Heaven (1996). It features new singer Alison Jordan, who replaced Kelly Overett after she left the group. The song was a hit in many European countries, peaking at number eight in Italy, number 15 in Finland, number 17 in the UK and number 20 in the Netherlands. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it reached number 33.

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

In his weekly UK chart commentary in Dotmusic, James Masterton remarked that "Tell Me the Way", "no great departure from any of their previous hits", becomes their seventh Top 20 hit since 1989.[1] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote that "as long as Cappella is around you can postpone Euro dance's funeral. The one-line chorus is simple but utterly effective, while the pumping synths will turn dancefloors into trampolines."[2] James Hamilton from Music Week's RM Dance Update described it as a "distinctive high-pitched title line chant".[3]
