«Kissing You» (o «I'm Kissing You») es una canción de la cantante británica Des'ree. It was written by the singer with Timothy Atack for Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film Romeo + Juliet. The song was included on the film's soundtrack album and Des'ree's third studio album, Supernatural (1998). A pop ballad set in A major, the record uses a simple instrumentation consisting only of piano and string instruments. "Kissing You" featured in Romeo + Juliet when the title characters meet at a ball. The song was well-received by critics for its emotional melody and toned-down production. Released as a single in in 1997, it appeared on the ARIA Singles Chart and the UK Singles Chart. A music video accompanied the single, which included scenes from Romeo + Juliet.

«Kissing You» fue versionada por Beyoncé Knowles (2007), Taylor Dayne (2008) y Stan Walker (2010). La cantante Beyoncé filmó un video musical for her rendition, which she retitled «Still in Love (Kissing You)». The change of title and music video went against copyright terms, and thus Des'ree's publishers filed a lawsuit against Knowles and her representatives. Infringing albums were recalled, and both parties agreed that the case be dismissed with prejudice.

Recepción[editar]

Comentarios de la crítica[editar]

Lisa Jardine de New Statesman notó que «Kissing You» como «un punto alto» de la película.[11]​ J. D. Considine wrote for The Baltimore Sun that "the tremulous intensity of Des'ree's 'Kissing You' has more emotional impact than many films".[12]​ In a review of Supernatural for Entertainment Weekly, Considine later commended the "throaty emotionalism" with which Des'ree sang "Kissing You".[13]​ Jim Farber from the Daily News noted the song as the standout track from Supernatural and claimed that it "stands as the only track to deepen the mood, bringing out the indigo pleasures of her voice."[14]​ The Richmond Times-Dispatch's Kate Lipper called the record "an excellent slow song that you can play nonstop".[15]​ However, Ann Powers from The New York Times wrote that Des'ree is too melodramatic on "Kissing You".[16]​ In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Charlotte Church described the song as one of her favourite downloads, «Esta es una de las canciones más hermosas que he oído jamás. Es un sonido original y lo cantan muy bien. No hay ritmo, es simplemente una canción bonita y arrulladora».[17]​

«Kissing You» fue versionada por la cantante de R&B Beyoncé Knowles bajo el título «Still in Love (Kissing You)». Knowles' rendition se incluyó en la edición de lujo de su segundo álbum de estudio, B'Day. Knowles contributed to the writing and production processes,[28]​ and it was one of the last tracks to be added to the album.[29]​[30]​ Llamó al tema «una hermosa balada»[31]​ y dijo, «Siempre me ha encantado ['Kissing You']. Te emociona mucho – lo notas sin importar quién seas. Hacerlo [este video] significó mucho para mi».[32]​

Video musical[editar]

Un video musical para la canción was shot and directed by Cliff Watts, who had also shot Knowles' Sports Illustrated cover.[29]​ The video for the song served as the closing clip for the B'Day Anthology Video Album, and was filmed on Super 8 mm film en Miami.[29]​ Knowles discussed the music video with MTV, stating that, "[The video] feels like something you shouldn't be seeing, like you found a home video. It's very raw: no retouching, no special effects. That's who I am. You can see my soul."[32]​ In an interview with Vibe Knowles recalled the video, "I didn't have any hair and makeup. [The video features] just me on the beach and in the sun, and I brought one bathing suit 'cause I was there for myself. It's very artistic and grimy, and [there is] no retouching. It is what it is."[31]​

Demanda judicial[editar]

Des'ree's publishers, the Royalty Network, presentaron una demanda judicial against Sony BMG, Sony BMG Sales Enterprise, Knowles, B-Day Publishing and EMI April Music, claiming that Knowles' cover of the song infringed copyright conditions.[33]​ El 13 de febrero de 2007, Knowles' representatives had sought permission to use interpolations of "Kissing You". The Royalty Network offered Knowles the use the song under certain terms. Two of the conditions of the proposal were that the song's title remain the same, and that the song was not published in video form.[30]​ Knowles made no further contact with the Royalty Network, and planned to release "Still in Love (Kissing You)" and its video, regardless of the two requested conditions, which the Royalty Network called "completely unacceptable".[30]​ The publishing company requested that Sony Music Entertainment (SME)—the parent company of Columbia Records—halt distribution of B'Day with the retitled song. Nevertheless, the album was released on 3 April 2007; the Royalty Network considered the action "willful disregard", and retracted their permission to use the song.[30]​ The lawsuit, filed on 16 April 2007 in the Manhattan Federal Court, sought US$150,000 in damages and a recall of the infringing material. El mismo día, SME ceased distribution of both the deluxe edition of B'Day and the anthology video album,[30]​ although the editions had sold over 214,000 copies before the recall.[33]​ Later reissues of the albums did not include "Still in Love (Kissing You)" and its video, with "If" replacing the track en la edición de lujo de B'Day.[34]​ An injunction hearing was scheduled for 4 May,[30]​ and later postponed until 14 May 2007.[35]​ El 12 de octubre de 2007, the case was dismissed with prejudice, by agreement of all parties.[36]​ El padre y mánager de Knowles, Mathew Knowles, stated that his daughter did not know about the copyright issues prior to the legal action, and that recording artists rarely involve themselves with such matters.[34]​
