Just Around the Hill

"Just Around the Hill" is a song by German production team Sash!, released on 10 April 2000 as the second single from their third album, Trilenium (2000). It was the second Sash! single to feature British singer Tina Cousins on vocals, after "Mysterious Times" in 1998. The song was written by Sash! members Sascha Lappessen, Ralf Kappmeier and Thomas Alisson, and it was produced by the team with Tokapi.

"Just Around the Hill" peaked at No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart and was also a top-10 hit in the Czech Republic and Romania. The accompanying music video was directed by Finnish director Antti Jokinen and was filmed in Thailand, featuring Lappessen's wife. There are two versions of the video: one for the ballad version and another for the dance version.

Critical reception

Jon O'Brien from AllMusic noted that Tina Cousins "lends her sultry vocals" to the "gorgeous chillout" song. Pop Rescue commented, "...this sees the return of SASH!'s former collaborator, the brilliant Tina Cousins. This song is unlike anything else so far on this album – it's a pop ballad. Tina's vocals are beautiful, and she's surrounded by minimal bleeping and bubbling synths, and some synth strings. She's given loads of space to show off her rich vocals."
