globe – SWEET PAIN (a J!-ENT World Groove CD Single Review)
November 12, 1995 by Dennis Amith
“SWEET PAIN” is the third globe single features cool vocals from KEIKO but felt the happy rapping kind of put a damper in the overall rhythm of the song.

I actually thought globe would go for three consecutive singles per month but here we with globe’s third single SWEET PAIN, the group was denied out of the #1 position on the Oricon Daily Charts but they did take #2.
“SWEET PAIN” is a pretty cool song, in some ways, I think that TK was going for a more futuristic tone with this release (not just with the robotic vocoder intro but with the Space Groove mix included with this single). What I liked about this song is the overall vocals from KEIKO. I like the overall flow but the rap segments of the song kind of turned me off as it was a bit too “happy” for me and it was a bit distracting to the rhythm that KEIKO had set forth during her verse. But I suppose it’s all subjective to the listener.
The second track “SWEET PAIN (EXTENDED MIX) is not really a true extended mix, if anything, it’s just more music tacked on to the front and thus you get 47 more seconds of extra music. The third track is a Space Groove Mix of “SWEET PAIN” and it’s TK getting funky with the synth and sampling. I actually like this mix and the experimental segments in it.
Overall, “SWEET PAIN” is a good single, my least favorite of the three released thus far but by no means is it a bad single, it’s just a bit too happy for me during the rap segments. But still another globe single worth checking out!
