Production and Influence

"More and More" was originally written by front man/rapper Tony Dawson-Harrison (Captain Hollywood) and songwriter Nosie Katzmann. As Executive Producer of the single, Harrison worked with the German producer team known as DMP for the song production. Harrison chose singer Nina Gerhard to provide the chorus vocals for the track.

Upon release in July 1992, "More and More" became a major hit in several countries in Europe, particularly in Germany, where it reached number-one for four weeks. It was also a crossover pop hit in the United States, where it reached No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song remained in the Top 40 for 12 weeks. By 1993, the single charted at No.1 for 2 weeks on the US Billboard Maxi singles charts outselling Janet Jackson's That's the Way Love Goes. Because of the massive commercial success of the single worldwide, the single quickly became a major influence to record labels and music producers in Europe. For this reason, Harrison is often regarded by many critics to be "The Pioneer of Eurodance"

Critical reception

Billboard wrote about the song: "The beats are rugged, and are topped by a breezy, radio-minded R&B melody. The give-and-take between sultry female vocals and deepthroated male rapping is appropriately seductive."

The Gavin Report wrote: "Germany, not Hollywood, is home to The Captain, who has already racked up enough chart activity to become this week's RECORD TO WATCH. Many are comparing this production to Snap's "Rhythm Is A Dancer" with its Euro-Dance feel. One very hot entry!"
