All Saints have exceeded my expectations with their comeback album so I'm looking forward to their interpretation of this classic; hopefully it follows on from the R&B, soulful sounds of that album with a controlled amount of harmonies.

I think that sort of tone is what All Saints were going for but didn't pull off.
