"Phorever People" is a song by Scottish electronic dance music band the Shamen. It features vocals by singer Jhelisa Anderson and was released in December 1992 by One Little Indian as a single from their fifth album, Boss Drum (1992). The single topped the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart and was another hit for the group in the UK, going to number five on the UK Singles Chart. It also became a top-10 hit in Denmark and Ireland, while reaching the top 20 in Austria, Finland, France and Sweden. A music video, directed by British director Richard Heslop, was made to accompany the song.
Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard described the song as "an exercise in chart-smart techno, trance, and house vibes." In their review of Boss Drum, Melody Maker concluded that "Phorever People" "would make an ideal next single", remarking that it's "actually sharper single material" than the "awful" "Ebeneezer Goode". Melody Maker editor Jennifer Nine commented, "I expect this record will serve as an excellent background for Club 18-30 disco nights and aerobics classes the world over. And the lovely Jhelisa Anderson (ex-Soul Family Sensation) is possessed of a voice of beauty."
