Recording

edit
Giorgio Moroder in 2015

In 1970s Munich,Musicland Studios,led by the producersGiorgio MoroderandPete Bellotte,had produced a number of disco hits, includingDonna Summer's1975 single "Love to Love You Baby".[11]Summer had moved from the US to Munich to perform in the musicalHair,and had become a successfulsession vocalist.[11]Moroder described her as "an incredibly talented singer, who could improvise but was also very disciplined".[11]

For Summer's fifth album,I Remember Yesterday(1977), the production team wanted each track to evoke a different musical decade, such as '40sswing,'60sgirl groups,and '70sfunkanddisco.For the final track, "I Feel Love", the team wanted to create a futuristic mood.[11]Whereas most disco recordings had been backed by orchestras,[12]the team produced "I Feel Love" with aMoog synthesizerborrowed from the classical composerEberhard Schoener,aided by Schoener's assistant, Robby Wedel. Wedel demonstrated how to synchronize the elements using aclick track,a feat Moroder described as "a revelation".[11]Wedel's help with the technically complex synthesizer proved essential and Moroder described him as the "unsung hero" of the project.[11]

"I Feel Love" was recorded on a16-track tape recorder,with the various parts programmed on asequencer.[13][14]As the Moog went out of tune quickly, it had to be recorded in bursts of 20 or 30 seconds before being retuned.[11]To create thehi-hatsound, the team tookwhite noisegenerated by the Moog and processed it with anenvelope.[15]As the Moog could not create a satisfactorykick drumsound, the kick was played on a drum kit by the drummerKeith Forsey.[11]Aside from the vocals, the kick is the only element not played by a machine.[11]

The lyrics were written by Bellotte.[11]Summer recorded her vocal in one take.[11]In contrast to the deeperchest voiceof most disco vocals, Summer sang inhead voice.[15]

Composition

edit
"I Feel Love" by Donna Summer
Problems playing this file? Seemedia help.

"I Feel Love" was the first song to combine repetitive synthesizer loops with a continuousfour-on-the-floorbass drum and anoff-beathi-hat, which became a main feature oftechnoandhousemusic ten years later.[2][16]

Unusually for a disco track of the era, Moroder composed the backing track and bassline before the melody. He introduced variety by altering thekeyat regular intervals and layering Summer's vocals.[17]Each note of the bassline is doubled by adelay effect.The unmodified bassline plays through theleft channeland the delayed repetition through the right, creating a flickering,strobe-like effect.[15]

"I Feel Love" is in the key ofC major,with electronic dance flavor, and choruses and interludes. The album version has a length of 5:53. It was extended to 8:15 for release as a 12-inch maxi-single, and is included on the 1987 compilationThe Dance Collection: A Compilation of Twelve Inch Singles.

The song was edited to 3:45 on the 7-inch format, the fade-in opening sound reaching maximum volume sooner and fades out before the third verse and final choruses. This version has been included on a large number of greatest hits packages and other compilations issued byPolyGram,Mercury Records,Universal Musicand others, such as 1994'sEndless Summer: Greatest Hitsand 2003'sThe Journey: The Very Best of Donna Summer.A new edit of 3:20 was released on Donna Summer's first compilation albumOn the Radio: Greatest Hits Volumes I & II.

Critical reception

edit

According to the singerDavid Bowie,during the recording of hisBerlin Trilogy,his collaboratorBrian Eno"came running in" and told him he had heard "the sound of the future". According to Bowie, Eno accurately predicted that "I Feel Love" would change the sound of club music for the next 15 years.[18]

Record Worldsaid the song "establishes a mood first, then builds on it" and praised the "captivating" synthesizer.[19]The criticVince Alettiwrote that "the pace is fierce and utterly gripping with the synthesizer effects particularly aggressive and emotionally charged". He predicted that the track "should easily equal if not surpass" the success of"Love to Love You Baby"in the clubs.[20]

Robert Moog,the creator of the Moog synthesizer, was critical, saying:[21]

That sequencer bass that's chugging along through the whole thing has a certain energy to it but also a certain sterility because it's always the same... Warm, lyrical vocals but essentially it sounded like [Summer] was fighting the sequencer. When the sequencer stopped, I felt that I could hear the audience sort of coming alive and breathing a sigh of relief... When [the song] is played live, what does [the band] do? The audience expects a musician to be doing something and if he's not doing as much as they expect, it's more showbiz than music.

Sales

edit

"I Feel Love" peaked at number six on theBillboardHot 100chart the week of November 12, 1977. It reached number nine on the Soul Singles Chart in October 1977. Its 1995 remix peaked at number nine on theBillboardHot Dance Club Play.

In the United Kingdom, "I Feel Love" peaked at the top of theUK Singles Chartin July 1977, a position it maintained for four weeks. The 1982 and 1995 remixes of the song peaked at number 21 and number eight on the UK Singles Chart respectively, and sales of these physical singles totaled 956,400.[22]According to theOfficial Charts Company,together with digital sales, "I Feel Love" has sold 1.07 million copies in the United Kingdom as of June 2013, making it Britain's 103rd best-selling single of all time.[23]

Elsewhere, "I Feel Love" also topped the charts in Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Italy and the Netherlands, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in Canada, West Germany, New Zealand, Norway, the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, Sweden and Switzerland.[24]

Legacy

edit

In a 2017 feature on the song's 40th anniversary forPitchfork,the journalistSimon Reynoldsreflected that "I Feel Love" had a significant impact on music across all genres for the next decade, including rock-leaning genres such aspost-punkandnew wave,and subsequent sub-genres of theelectronic dance musicstyle the song had pioneered, includingHi-NRG,Italo disco,house,techno,andtrance.[25]Reynolds also posited "If any one song can be pinpointed as where the 1980s began, it's 'I Feel Love'."[25]

In 1996,Mixmagnamed "I Feel Love" the 12th-great dance single, writing: "Whenever, however you hear this tune, it's guaranteed to make you smile, shut your eyes and trance out. The first electronic disco masterpiece, disco diva Donna and Moroder's finest, trippiest moment."[26]In 2013,Mixmagnamed "I Feel Love" the 19th-greatest dance track.[27]In 2006,Slantnamed it the greatest dance song, writing:

No longer would synthesizers remain the intellectual property of prog-classical geeks. And, separated from its LP context and taken as a Top 10 single, it didn't just suggest the future, it was the future. Cooing ascending couplets of an almost banal ecstasy, Summer's breathy vocals still dwelled in the stratosphere of her own manufactured sensation.[28]

In 2011,The Guardian's Richard Vine ranked the release of "I Feel Love" as one of 50 key events in the history of dance music, writing that it was "one of the first [songs] to fully utilise the potential of electronics, replacing lush disco orchestration with the hypnotic precision of machines".[29]In 2015,Time Outnamed it the 12th-best "party song", writing: "Sometimes a song comes along that’s so innovative that it changes the shape of the musical landscape for decades, whilst also getting you to shake yo bootay. This timeless, Giorgio Moroder–produced disco anthem from 1977 did exactly that, becoming the first purely electronic jam to make it big and pretty much inventing dance music in the process."[30]In 2023,Pride Life Globalranked it as one of the best gay anthems.[31]Rolling Stoneranked the song #52 on its list of the500 Greatest Songs of All Time(2024).

Patrick Cowley remix

edit

In 1978, disco and Hi-NRG DJPatrick Cowleycreated a 15:43 remix of "I Feel Love" which became a popular "underground classic", available only for members of the Disconetremix service.[73]Cowley used loops to keep the bass-line going for extended passages of overdubbed effects and synthesiser parts.

In mid-1980, Cowley's mix was released with the title "I Feel Love / I Feel Megalove" and subtitle "The Patrick Cowley MegaMix", but only on a limited vinyl pressing by theDJ-only subscription serviceDisconet.[73]Since this pressing was not available to the general public for commercial sale, it became highly sought after by collectors. In 1982, it was released as a 12-inch single in the UK market byCasablanca,backed with an 8-minute edited version. With this wider release, "I Feel Love" became a dance floor hit again, five years after its debut. A further-edited 7-inch single reached number 21 on the UK Singles Chart.

The Patrick Cowley mix was out of print until it was released on the bonus disc of the 2003 UK edition ofThe Journey: The Very Best of Donna Summerand theBen Liebrandcompilation albumGrand 12-Inches.It also exists on the 2013 double discI Feel Love: The Collection.

Reception

edit

James MastertonforDotmusiccomplimented the 1995 remix for "not to tinker too much with the near-perfect realisation of the original", adding that it "still sounds as fresh as the day it was made".[77]Alan JonesMusic Weekfelt theMasters At Workmixes of the track are "a trifle disappointing", while praising theRollo&Sister Blissremix. He explained, "The Rollo & Sister Bliss mix grows and grows, picking up vocals and some nifty and airy synth riffs along the way, building into a superbhousestomper. A masterful piece of work, and one that will surely launch the new Manifeste label in style. "[78]Rupert Howe fromNMEwrote, "La Summer needs no introduction, 'I Feel Love' being one of the greatest moments in the long and cocaine-riddled history ofD-I-S-C-O— a sequins-and-spangles surge ofMoroder-produced dancefloor dynamite with a chorus offering more uplift than a wardrobe full of wonderbras. "[79]TheRecord MirrorDance Update stated, "The big guns are brought out to remix the classic disco anthem – Rollo and MAW".[80]
