Midnight Star - Do It One More Time

Review by Suzan Emami Yeganeh

Do It One More Time by Midnight Star: A Funky, Synthy Trip Down Memory Lane Let’s cut to the chase—Midnight Star’s Do It One More Time isn’t just an album; it’s a vibe. Released in 1990 (yeah, that glorious era when shoulder pads were still kinda cool), this genre-blending masterpiece straddles electronic beats, hip-hop swagger, funk vibes, and soulful grooves like a musical gymnast at the Olympics. With styles ranging from synth-pop to disco, house to New Jack Swing, it’s like they threw every trend of the late '80s into a blender and hit "liquefy." Spoiler alert: it works. Now, let me drop some knowledge on you before we dive in. This baby came out in multiple countries—US, Germany, France—and bounced between labels like Epic, Solar, CBS Associated Records, and Vogue. The credits? Mixed by Steve Beltran and Taavi Mote, produced by Midnight Star themselves, with writing chops courtesy of Belinda Lipscomb, Bill Simmons, Bobby Lovelace, King C, and Melvin Gentry. Oh, and shoutout to Haubrich + Ackermann for the cover art because, hey, aesthetics matter. But here’s the real tea: there are so many versions of the titular track “Do It (One More Time)” that you’d think they had a bet going on who could make the most remixes without losing their minds. And honestly? They nailed it. Track Highlights First up, “Do It (One More Time) (Extended Club Mix).” If this doesn’t get your feet moving, check your pulse—you might be dead. It’s got that deep bassline that feels like someone massaging your soul while the synths do a little cha-cha over top. There’s something hypnotic about how smooth yet punchy it is, making it perfect for both sweaty dance floors and impromptu kitchen boogies. I remember hearing this version and thinking, “Wow, these guys really know how to stretch a song without it feeling like filler.” Hats off to them. Then there’s “Do It (One More Time) (House Version).” This one slaps harder than a toddler throwing a tantrum in a candy store. The kick drum hits you right in the chest, and the layered vocals feel like velvet wrapping around steel. What sticks with me is how effortlessly it transitions from funky breakdowns to euphoric peaks—it’s like riding a rollercoaster designed by aliens who love Chicago house music. Every time I hear it, I’m reminded why house music became a global phenomenon. Final Thoughts So yeah, Do It One More Time is basically a time capsule of everything awesome about early '90s music. It’s fun, experimental, and unapologetically bold. Listening to it now feels like catching up with an old friend who always knows how to throw a killer party. Here’s the kicker though—why does no one talk about how much work went into all those remixes? Like, did they ever sleep during production? Or were they just fueled by coffee and sheer determination? Either way, props to Midnight Star for delivering an album that’s as versatile as it is unforgettable. And if you’re looking for life advice, here’s mine: Do it one more time. Whether it’s dancing, dreaming, or eating another slice of pizza, just go for it. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
