Mindworks
"Mindworks" is a song by English singer-songwriter Sam Brown, which was released in 1990 as the fourth single from her second studio album April Moon. It was written by Sam Brown and Richard Newman, and produced by Pete Brown and Sam Brown. "Mindworks" reached number 77 in the UK Singles Chart and remained in the top 100 for four weeks.

Release
In addition to the standard 7-inch format, a limited edition 7-inch single was issued featuring a pop-up sleeve. The 12-inch and CD formats of the single include "Feel Like Making Love", a cover of the 1975 song by English supergroup Bad Company.

Music video
The song's music video was directed by Giblets, a group of directors made up of Rob MacGillivray, Mike Sumpter, Carol MacGillivray and Michael Olley.

Critical reception
On its release, Tim Booth of the English rock band James, as guest reviewer for Record Mirror, stated, "Well I'm done in by that. It's a really fine song. What a shock, I actually like a Sam Brown record. That will teach me to have preconceptions." In a review of April Moon, Simon Williams of New Musical Express described the song as being "all bluesy schmaltz", with an "odd arrangement making the tune a pleasing touch harder to decipher". Marcus Hodge of the Cambridge Evening News felt the song to be a "gentle ballad where her coarse delivery detracts from the fragility of the musical backing."
