In 1994 and 1995 they won the Brit Award for Best British Dance Act. In 1994, they won the Mercury Music Prize for the album Elegant Slumming. The victory sparked controversy as they beat Britpop band Blur, who were deemed by critics to be more 'worthy' than a mere dance band. With ten Top Ten UK singles, the band was one of the most consistent hit-makers of the 90s, and the album Bizarre Fruit stayed in the UK charts for two years.
In the United States, their biggest success was on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, where they achieved five Top 5 singles, four of which hit number one.
With the closure by BMG of the deConstruction dance record label in the late 1990s, M People gained their own record label called M People Records to release their 1997 album Fresco.
After the release of The Best of M People in 1998, the band took a long break. Heather Small recorded a solo album and it seemed that the band had split, although a repackaged greatest hits album was released in 2005 and the band also embarked on a short tour of the UK. Small continued to pursue a solo career, as her song Proud was the soundtrack to the successful London 2012 Olympic Bid.

How Can I Love You More
M People Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uhh
Uhh
Uhh
Uhh
I enter the temple of holy Love
And shout your name to God above
I only hope, you feel the same
They say that, "Love's a two way thing"
And of all the pleasure it may bring
But our love will never be
Until you give yourself to me
How can I love you more?
How can I love you more?
(Please tell me)
How can I love you more?
(More)
I give you a love so pure
(Pure)
Losing you would make me feel
Helpless, weak, alone, unreal
Life, I could not contemplate
I need your love, don't make me wait
Don't tell me, "It's not enough"
I try so hard, don't be so tough, I
I never felt this way before
I'm sick, and baby, you're my cure
How can I love you more?
How can I love you more?
(Ooh baby)
How can I love you more?
I give you a love so pure
How can I love you more?
How can I love you more?
(Ooh baby)
How can I love you more?
I give you a love so pure
So pure
My love
My love
My love
So pure
Holy love
How can I love you more?
(Ooh baby)
How can I love you more?
(More)
How can I love you more?
(Ohh, please tell me)
How can I love you more?
(Yaa)
How can I love you more?
(Ooh baby)
How can I love you more?
(More)
I give you a love so pure
(Pure)
How can I love you more?
(More)
How can I love you more?
(More)
(Please tell me)
How can I love you more?

I give you a love so pure

M People were way ahead of their time with the music they were producing. I got my first album in 1994 when I was 13 and it's as relevant now in 2018 as it was then. Saw Heather in Wakefield at the beginning of the year and she was PHENOMENAL!! Her unique voice did NOT disappoint! Such an inspiration and it was a dream come true to see her 😍😍😍
