In the late Spring of 1990, I walked through the west village and found a record shop on W. 4th Street. I went inside and asked the DJ if he had any new releases of Freestyle singles. He did and showed me 3. But the 1st one blew me away!!! "I Lost the Love" Club Girls ft. Eileen it displayed. The DJ placed the LP on the player and boom, the Base Intro began to thump! Then the vocalist begins her song as follows: "I thought I saw your face today, I must be dreaming". "It's been so hard for me to face, but I've begun believing". "You walked away, because I let you go". "You could have stayed, but instead I'm here alone". Holy cows! It was a very simple, but powerful poetry. I could visualize her entire poem! "I saw your face. I touched your skin. I can't believe the state of loss that I find myself to be in". The writer of that song should have been nominated that year for such an outstanding poetry in rhythm. This was the only song across all genres that would put anyone in a trance as they dance to the beat! The composer of that beat and engineer deserve all respect as well because they compressed the music enough to allow Eileen to sing. Kudos to them!
I didn’t hear this song much on the west coast but worked in a record store in San Francisco and pushed this record when it was new. It’s not just a freestyle song, but one of the best freestyle songs imo.
Wow man you paid this song it’s appropriate homage thanks for sharing this insight this is amazing def one of my all time favorite freestyle songs might be nbr 1 definitely top 10 please tell us you still have the album? What’s your top 10 all time?
@Steven & Cindy Romero Yes, I do have that single! Poetically, this song is likely the most descriptive. It was a fusion of House and Pop Beat to make it commercially, appealing. The Base line and the meloncholic lyrics, "I lost the love" distinguished it to Freestyle. I would say it is my favorite. 2nd favorite is Chrissy I-Eece's, Love Desire. 100% Freestyle!
@Steven & Cindy Romero Top 10 Freestyle songs: 1. I lost the Love- Girls Club 2. Just like the Wind- Peter Fontaine 3. The Way she Looks at me- Peter Fontaine 4. Materialistic Girl- & More 5. Games of Love- Tonasia 6. Highways of Love- Johnny O 7. Change on Me- Cynthia 8. Spring Love- Stevie B 9. Inside Outside- Cover Girls 10. Love Desire- Chrissy I-Eese
Let's see , tribbecas in fort Lee NJ , foxes in jersey City , emerald's city, palladium , devil's nest , lime light , the copa in New yorks 11th ave by the javits center , Damm the tunnel , sound factory wow so many night clubs where this music was the best music at the time and still is . Had the pleasure to see so many freestyle artist perform at such clubs . Noel, George Lamond, Judy Torres , lil Suzy, tka , the Latin rascals , Steve B , the cover girls and this the girls club Eileen . And remember two without hats which was house music along with the jungle brothers . Wow those years were the years .
In the late Spring of 1990 I found this single in the West Village Record Shop. I asked the DJ to play it so that I can sample the sounds in my mind. Wow! The base intro trapped me! Then the house chords with freestyle house hybrid beat swept me away. Then the vocalist began her song, "I thought I saw your face today, I..." Then, "I saw your face. I touched your skin. I can't believe this state of mind that I find myself to be in". Holy cows!!! It was DYNOMITE!!! It was poetic and yet, melancholic! Eileen, the vocalist nailed it!!!! Home run!
...early teens....these cuts were underground...rare, hard to find...only certain stations and of course the club scene...but i hung 'round DJ buddies and buy tapes from them...then jus' drift into bliss...very hypnotic genre...unforgettable memories!!!
Yes alot of these were hard to find. I am barely finding out some of the titles and artists of these tracks that I used to hear on mix tapes. I actually got excited about some of them when I found them here. 😄😄
@@dawnortiz9398 I remember you'll , I was one of the bouncers at Palace in Elizabeth NJ. You'll perform there a few times and also seen you'll at Foxes in Jersey City NJ how you'll been , ( I use to have such a crush on you lol ) hope all is well ❤
@@jacknjill3000 literally, the best written song across all genres! And it happened to be my preference, FREESTYLE! 32 YEARS later, I am listening to it again! I am composing electronic music again after so long and would love to revisit/ remix that song.
@mcdan, yeah, I loved freestyle from the very beginning and even Madonna started with freestyle with the help of Jellybean. I always return to listening to this song bc I love the emotions this song being out in me. Glad you’re doing music and good luck with that and keep us posted.
Some of the greatest writers are those that can imagine, fantasize. The greatest writers are those that can imagine things, places, events and people. Coming up with lyrics is like putting yourself in a movie or screen play in your mind.
Getting chills and great flashbacks, as I’m listening to this song. Those were the best times going clubbing every weekend and hanging with the homies.
I remeber braking up with an ex and playing this while missing her in my room kitchen everwhere..back then ot was different when you love somebody it was forreal and if she wasnt with you or at home is not like today you get on your cell phone and can find or forget them....this song brought all this feeling i felt that time its crazy how this can playback the hands of time.....
This was the bomb and many here in SF didn’t know about and I never heard in the clubs or radio. Love the flow of how she’s singing and you can feel it.
So Eileen Flores join this group after having a solo hit on Mic Mac with “Touch me with your heart”? I know this came out adter that hit and around 91/92.
Just found out this was written (lyrics) for Todd Terry and no wonder it has that hard jerky freestyle beat. I love Todd Terry’s early freestyle! I think he was under Masters at Work before Louie Vega and Kenny Dope went by that name. They could’ve been partners back then and I gotta start reading the fine print and the credits.
Believe it or not 2020. In Austin Texas. I'm still rocking this jam. FREESTYLE FOREVER.
Ant nothing like old school
I believe it! We had the best jams!
Great song! I have it on cassette when my brother recorded it on the radio years back in the 90s
Respect from Newcastle uk brother 🙌
You go boy and keep freestyle alive and represent!

Yup and this song was hard to find and they didn’t play this song much on the West Coast. Maybe in the San Jose freestyle scene.
Love this tune!! Deep $hit! Freestyle for life peeps!!
Some great teenage memories from Hot 97 🔥🔥
HOT 🔥 97 you are going back way back. WOW
@@josephesposito5829 That's where I'm from 🤷♂️
This was my favorite Free-Style song during the Summer of 1990 in NYC! I LOST THE LOVE!
omg wepa u just made my day...i wrote that song with all my my heart!!
Shauna Figueroa, thanks you and you did an excellent job . This is one of my favorite freestyle songs and the beats and lyrics are timeless. 🎶🎶🎶
@@jacknjill3000 literally, the best written song across all genres! And it happened to be my preference, FREESTYLE! 32 YEARS later, I am listening to it again!

The melodic flow of this song is great and compliments the beat well. The bridge at 2:47 is the best part IMO.
1900 cruising up and down 86th street, Bensonhurst Brooklyn. Cars, girls, music and pizza!! Great energy in those days. Music was life!!
1990 the year, I meant.

i wrote it
That writer is the director of that Trance! She did an outstanding job!
EXACTLY. This song and lyrics are literally helping me thru a breakup rn. The beat also goes so hard
I need this song on Spotify... I’m calling them .. !! This song is amazing 😻 freestyle
Getting chills and great flashbacks, as I’m listening to this song. Those were the best times going clubbing every weekend and hanging with the homies.

This music also represented music from around the way. the music was singing to us and our lives back then.
So Eileen Flores join this group after having a solo hit on Mic Mac with “Touch me with your heart”? I know this came out adter that hit and around 91/92.
