"Something Goin' On (In Your Soul)" is a song by American record producer Todd Terry featuring American singers Martha Wash and Jocelyn Brown on vocals. It was released as the second single from Terry's debut album, Ready for a New Day (1997). The song peaked within the top 5 in both Italy and the UK, peaking at number four and five. It also reached number-one on the UK Dance Singles Chart and the US Billboard Dance Club Play chart. The original song title was shortened to "Something Goin’ On" upon its release as a single, even though the full title was listed on the album.
As the follow-up to their successful version of "Keep on Jumpin'", which also reached number-one on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1996, it would become the second of two back to back number-ones on the chart for this collaboration between the three artists.
Fact magazine ranked "Something Goin' On (In Your Soul)" number 21 in their list of 21 Diva-House Belters That Still Sound Incredible in 2014. Joe Muggs wrote, "There is DEFINITELY something wrong with you if you don’t get why this is incredible."[2] Music Week rated the song four out of five, stating that "the master is back with a surefire hit. Featuring exquisite guest vocals from Jocelyn Brown and Martha Wash, this catchy number will get any dancefloor busy and blare from radios in the coming weeks."[3]
Daisy & Havoc from RM gave it five out of five, picking it as Tune of the Week. They added, "Starting with old-style spoken praise for house music, this track is a spirit-raising, feel-good number that moves along at quite a pace, helped by an emotional but not overdone sung vocal."[4] A reviewer from Sunday Mirror commented, "Todd and the boys Keep on jumpin' with a fat disco number the like of which hasn't been seen since the last one they did. Serious diva vocals come courtesy of Jocelyn Brown and Martha Wash. Fine."[5] David Sinclair from The Times described it as an "infectious dancefloor stomp."[6]
