Fantasy Island (M People song)
Fantasy Island is the second single from British band M People from their fourth album Fresco (1997), written by Mike Pickering, Paul Heard and Heather Small, and produced by M People. It was released on 24 November 1997. The song peaked at number thirty three on the UK Singles Chart.
==Background==
The band's previous single, Just for You, had proved that despite a lengthy break, M People were still very much in demand. Just for You had secured another Top 10 sales chart entry in the UK and five other European countries and a number one airplay hit for three weeks in the UK. The parent album Fresco had already gone platinum (with sales of over 850,000) and had charted at number 2.
Ahead of their sold-out 18 date Fresco Tour, M People's second single was released. Fantasy Island is a song relaying the virtues of living and wishing for a utopia. Heather sings of various dream situations where the world gets along, politician speak the truth, there's sunshine and laughter, Muslims are embracing Jews; Love being the message and the word. Very much a song that both proclaims the aspects of life that people dream of but are far removed from the reality, hence the 'fantasy'. It also projects the constant M People mottos of achieving and striving to survive.
The melody line is supported by programmed drumming, insistent synth effects, piano riffs (by pianist Terry Burrus), strings and a strong wind section throughout, supported by a deep moog bass line and subtle 'blowy' synths throughout. Critics of the song stated that the piano and trumpet/saxophone riff used an uncredited sample or that the lyrical content was 'benign and sickly'.
