Matches in DBpedia 2015-10 for { ?s ?p ""Black Coffee" is a song recorded by English-Canadian girl group All Saints for their second studio album, Saints & Sinners (2000). It later appeared on the group's greatest hits albums, All Hits (2001) and Pure Shores: The Very Best of All Saints (2010). The song was written by Alexander Von Soos, Kirsty Elizabeth and Tom Nichols, and produced by William Orbit. Originally titled "I Wouldn't Wanna Be", the track was first conceptualized by Elizabeth based on her romance with Ernesto Bertarelli before being handed to London Records executive Tracy Bennett. It was released worldwide on 2 October 2000 as the second single from Saints & Sinners, through various physical formats accompanied by remixes from The Neptunes, Wideboys, AFTC, and the b-side "I Don't Wanna Be Alone". A midtempo electronic pop song, "Black Coffee" chronicles a love story with a contrary theme of bitterness, and garnered comparisons with previous William Orbit productions, namely "Pure Shores" and tracks from Madonna's Ray of Light (1998). The track's structure includes slightly dislocated verses delivered in a sinister manner, followed by the group's combined harmony sung in an eerie fashion leading up to the song's wistful chorus. Lyrically, it discusses how two lovers meet and are in a moment where they would not want to be elsewhere."Black Coffee" was met with general acclaim from contemporary music critics who praised All Saints' mature and accomplished sound, vocal harmonies and William Orbit's production. Some critics deemed the song one of the group's greatest hits and a pop classic which would later inspire the sound of their girl group contemporary, Girls Aloud. The single was a commercial success, becoming All Saints' fifth number one single on the UK Singles Chart, at the time making them the girl group with the second-most number ones in British chart history. "Black Coffee" was also a hit internationally, reaching the top ten in Ireland, Italy, New Zealand and Sweden, and the top 40 in nine other countries. It was among the best-selling singles of 2000 in the United Kingdom, later being certified silver for sales of over 200,000 copies.The song's accompanying music video was directed by Johan Renck and aired on 14 September 2000. The video which garnered comparisons to the science fiction action film The Matrix (1999), is set in a high rise apartment at night and features the group singing from the rooftop of the apartment floor as a couple engage in a dramatic argument depicted in slow motion. The song's recording and release was surrounded by group in-fighting which became visible in tense live performances of the song and in its music video where each group member shot their scene separately. "Black Coffee" was promoted with live performances on Top of the Pops, Later... with Jools Holland, Smash Hits Poll Winners Party, Children in Need and as part of All Saints' set list on the In a World Like This Tour (2014)."@en }
