"Be Alone No More" is the debut single by British R&B vocal quartet Another Level, released on 16 February 1998 by Northwestside Records. It is from their eponymous debut album (1998), and features American rapper Jay-Z.[1] The song was written by Steven Dubin, Andrea Martin and Ivan Matias. In 1999, it was released a second time in remix form together with a cover of the Simply Red song "Holding Back the Years". The two releases peaked at number six and number eleven in the UK respectively.[2] Several UK garage remixes were also released, such as the 'Dubmonsters Mix' and 'Another Groove Mix'. The latter is a mashup with Double 99's "RipGroove".[3]
A reviewer from Music Week gave "Be Alone No More" four out of five, writing, "This time last year, Public Demand were the new UK R&B hopefuls, but failed to make an impact. This year's contenders debut with a delicious ballad and could reach a higher level."[4] Claudia Connell from News of the World declared it "a superb debut single which blends hip-hop and R&B with sophisticated, soulful harmonies."[5]
