Mind Adventures is the debut album by British soul singer-songwriter Des'ree. [3] It was released on 17 February 1992 on the Sony Soho Square record label, and features the UK top 20 hit, " Feel So High". The album became Des'ree's first top 40 album, peaking at number 26 on the UK Albums Chart. [4]
The album was not released in the United States at the time. It got a belated release on 4 April 1995, after Des'ree's second album I Ain't Movin' had been released there the previous year and she was achieving success with the single " You Gotta Be". Since "Feel So High" had been included on the US edition of I Ain't Movin', the US edition of Mind Adventures excluded it from its track list.
Three singles were released from Mind Adventures, "Feel So High" (in both 1991 and 1992), "Mind Adventures" and "Why Should I Love You".
