Billboard April 27 Marc Anthony
Spotlights

Now this is more like it. Following the pleasant but tepid "I Need You," Marc Anthony makes a return to grandeur with "I've Got You," a clever, seasonal anthem that sizzles out of the speakers like hot popcorn. The track kicks in with the acoustic guitar sound of George Michael's "Faith," adds an electric guitar via Boy George's "The Crying Game," then struts out on its own with an aggressive powerhouse melody that gives Anthony the chance to stretch out his vocal chords in a mighty way. This is one of the singer/song- writer's most creative singles yet, produced with a magic wand by Ric Wake and penned by Anthony main-stay Cory Rooney with Kara Dioguardi, who has been building her own quiet storm wih recent tracks for Celine Dion, Enrique Inglesias, and Jessica Simpson (she also has a half dozen tracks on Anthony's upcoming Mended.) This one is set to fire up the airwaves with its Latin-lite beats and rapid-fire signature chorus, and marks Marc's full-fledged re-entry point. --- CT
