"Give Me the Light" is a 1996 song recorded by British, Italy based Eurodance artist Ice MC, featuring vocals by Italian singer Valentina Ducros.[1] Produced by German Eurodance project Masterboy, it was released as the first single from Ice MC's fourth album, Dreadatour (1996). It was a moderate hit in Europe, peaking within the Top 30 in Austria, Finland, France and Italy. On the Eurochart Hot 100, it peaked at number 51 in July 1996. A music video was also produced to promote the single.

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "With a crafty production and strong chorus, this US-born, Italy-residing artist once again proves that he is one of the prime exponents of the Euro-dance scene."[2]
