Article from Contemporary Musicians.
In a 1993 issue of Melody Maker, Paul Mathur distinguished dance group M People from their colleagues by saying, "More than mere trance chancers, they're fairly keen on things you can hum in the bath."

Article from Cyclone about Fresco.
The lobby of M People's five star hotel is a hub of activity. Radio commentator Derryn Hinch marches across the marble floor looking resolute. A yuppie mum wheels out her funky pram, which, with its pine-green and ocean-blue plastic frame and bulging racing-car wheels, resembles an over-sized Lego toy.

Article from Deconstruction.
By November 8th 1995, Bizarre Fruit will have been in the UK charts for 52 weeks. The follow-up to Elegant Slumming, their Mercury Music prize winner, the release of Bizarre Fruit found M-People in the center of an uncharacteristic controversy.

Article from Dotmusic about Fresco.
With their last album, 1994's Bizarre Fruit, only dropping out of the Top 40 in November, it hardly seems as if M People have been away at all. But the band have had a long break from recording, and they've made the most of it.

Article from Manchester Evening News December 5 1997.
Few bands could boast the sort of cultural spread enjoyed by M People and their Search for the Hero anthem - a rallying cry for New Labour; a TV car advertisement, and a punchline to a Julian Clarey gag! Choke on that, Mick Hucknall!

Article from Musiciansnet about Steve Winter.
With much of today’s music studio-generated, many tracks with a predominantly dance influence often use sequenced keyboard bass (hey, it’s quick and accurate), with session bass players only being called in for specific recordings that require that extra attack or finesse.

Article from Promo December 97.
"There were two or three essential elements to the film's brief,"
explains director Matt Broadley. "Performance is M People's style, and Heather Small is the voice and face of the group, so I had to incorporate both ingredients and not depart too far away from what they do best. On the face of it this put quite restrictive constraints on a promo."

Article from Soundcraft.
It's been a good year for M-People - as if the critical and commercial success of both 'Elegant Slumming' and the singles it produced wasn't enough, the band has just won top honours in the Mercury Music Prize. But behind the scenes there's been precious little resting on laurels.

Article from Two-Ten Communications UNS Service.
They are justifiably cool. They love what they do, they're good at it, and millions of people just happen to agree. Three albums and seven top-ten singles down the line, M People's solid band of devotees have kept the album ''Bizarre Fruit'' in the charts for nearly a year.
