Cover Versions
New Zealand singer Hayley Westenra covered "I'm Kissing You" for her album Prayer. "Kissing You" was covered by Taylor Dayne, whose version appears as the eighth track on her fifth studio album, Satisfied (2008). Her recording contains slow jam drums and backing singers. Australian Idol winner Stan Walker recorded his rendition of the song as the twelfth track on his second studio album, From the Inside Out (2010). According to Allmusic's Jon O'Brien, he has done a "faithful rendition of Des'ree's heart-achingly beautiful Romeo & Juliet soundtrack number 'Kissing You'." The New Zealand Herald's Kara Scott noted that his cover was "a little over-wrought and soppy, it shows the true range and quality of Walker's voice." Cameron Adams of The Daily Telegraph noted that "for those who want to hear that voice sing something familiar, the lush but simple cover of Des'ree's 'Kissing You' will cause jaws to drop."
