Synopsis

Kristine W performs "Feel What You Want" in a playful, performance-driven video built around transformation. Rather than following a conventional narrative, the clip presents her in a succession of contrasting personas, including a clown and an Elvis-inspired character. The rapid changes in costume, makeup, and attitude match the song's exuberant house rhythm and showcase her theatrical background. The result is a colorful introduction to Kristine W as a larger-than-life dance performer, emphasizing personality, spectacle, and vocal presence over a linear storyline.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was made to promote Kristine W's 1994 debut single, which became a major club hit in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
  • Kristine W appears as several distinct characters, including a clown and Elvis Presley. The use of multiple identities reflects her experience as a Las Vegas entertainer and gives the clip a deliberately theatrical quality.
  • The song was recorded in London in a single day after Champion Records brought Kristine W together with producers Rollo and Rob Dougan.
  • The track was initially pressed in a very small quantity for DJs. Its popularity grew through club play before a wider release was organized.
  • Kristine W later said the song's lyrics were shaped by grief after the sudden death of her stepfather, as well as her thoughts about religion, pollution, television, and the state of the world.
  • "Feel What You Want" became strongly associated with LGBTQ dance-floor culture and was later described by Kristine W as a gay anthem.
  • The song was eventually included in the soundtrack of the video game "Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories."

Lyrics

The sun rises at nine departs at five
Ain't doing overtime no more
Because in this world of color
The brightest picture is plugged right into your wall
And maybe there's a million people singing shoeshine blues
To no one that they've ever met before and
Indifference is a drug that I see people buy
at the local store, local store
You, you, you think a little love is all you need
But love is such a small thing can't you see
I think you'll find it sits in a book and
changes the words that you read
