"My Telephone" is a song recorded by British band Coldcut featuring Lisa Stansfield, released as a single from Coldcut's debut album, What's That Noise? (1989). It was written by Matt Black, Jonathan More, Stansfield, Ian Devaney, Andy Morris and Tim Parry, and produced by Coldcut.[1]

The recording provided the basis for the song "Telephone Thing" by post-punk band The Fall, recorded with Coldcut and released in January 1990.[2]

Critical reception

Jerry Smith from Music Week wrote, "Having just had a massive hit with the unforgettable "People Hold On", Coldcut lift another track from their current What's That Noise? LP. It's a more innovative number but still with an irresistible hook in the chorus harmonies and set to give them yet more success."[3]

Music video

A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by Big T.V. It doesn't feature Stansfield.
