If "Leave Me Now" ever gets a proper release (although nt Sicialano), that's a great track on which tp build since it's essentially downtoempo, but at aroud 115 bpm. Old-school-wise, Chez 'n trent's "The Choice" springs to mind. If you're trying to make in-roads through vocal house, my recomendation is to smother the listener in Prescription instrumentals, and then drop some Prescription vocals. This is how I learned to appreciate voals, so perhaps the converse could work?
