I had never heard of Danielle Brisebois until I saw the movie "As good as it gets" (Jack Nicholson & Helen Hunt).

There's a great scene where they're in a restraunt. In the background there's a band playing and a girl with this amazing voice singing. It's Danielle (and two of the songs she sings are on the soundtrack to that movie).

After seeing that, I had to hear more and this album is no dissapointment. She delivers a great set of tunes with just a great voice. Well worth listening to!

The injustices of the music business can be summed up with this one album. "Arrive All Over You" is one of the most astonishing albums I have ever come upon, yet is an overlooked one that is now all but forgotten. Danielle opens her heart and delivers her soul on these 11 tracks.

The opening track is an ominous one, a perfect prelude to what is about to come. "What If God Fell From The Sky?" starts with a simple question, then Danielle unleashes the power of her instrument, her voice. It's such a spine-tingling performance that it makes you long for more. On songs such as "I Ain't Gonna Cry No More" and "Just Missed The Train", we can really tell
that this woman was really born to sing. In fact, I'm convinced that she chose the wrong artistic field, since she began as an actress (Little Stephanie on
"All In The Family" and stage version of "Annie"). Produced by Gregg Alexander, with whom she would later work with on the One-Hit wonder band The New Radicals, and whom she duets on this CD with "Promise Tomorrow
Night", this album is a tough one to categorize. Then again, an album that can't be categorized always means that it is a mould-breaking one. It has elements of folk, rock, and gospel, all of which contemplates Danielle's banshee and painfully beautiful vocals.

Perhaps she was too ahead of the game to be successful, or perhaps people weren't ready for her. But whatever the reason is, the world can't continue
to ignore primeval talent like Danielle Brisebois. It is a crime, a heinous crime that should be punished. And what is worse is the fact that she hasn't released
a proper follow up since! Please return Danielle, the world needs you!

I don't know much about Danielle's genre of music but I thought this was a very good album and she sounds as good as any other female pop star out there. Why she hasn't had the break-through I have no idea. The lyrics are interesting and she sings with a great deal of power. Her cover of "Gimme Some Sign" was excellent.

It's hard to believe this is a 1999 CD, where is she now??? The first 30 seconds of the first track..."What if God Fell From the Sky?" she rips open with a vengence, just what I expected from her backing Gregg Alexander and the New Radicals. All the passion that she and Gregg mustered for the New Radicals comes shining through in this effort. I finally picked this one up and was not disappointed with a single track...yea, it's pop/rock, but she's the real deal and her voice is stunning, passionate and vibrant, if still a little young. I simply can't believe she is not recording today. Personally one of the best.

Danielle Brisbois most remembered as Uncle Archies niece on All in the Family, shows her musical chops in this CLASS ACT DEBUT ROCKER OF A CD.

Songs like "What If God Fell From the Sky?", and "Just Missed the Train", show Brisbois' impeccable vocals along with outstanding ear for rock hooks.

This CD is fantastic throughout, with excellent production. What a shame that her label Epic did not promote this CD more.

Put aside any hesitation of her acting past on All in the Family and listen to this CD as music and nothing else.

Danielle I hope your next CD "Portable Life" which has recently been postponed gives you the deserved success that you need.

We need more artists like Brisbois taking over the radio waves.

Buy this CD you won't be disappointed!

I was recommended to purchase this album by three different people who did not even know one another. This album is amazing and happens to be one of the best albums I ever bought. It is sad that Danielle was so harshly overlooked. Production by Greg Alexander (New Radicals) is fabulous, and shows on tracks like "What If God Fell From The Sky," "Crawling" "I Don't Wanna Cry," etc. Do not miss this album, her new one will be out soon on RCA.

Before female alt-rockers like Tori, Fiona, or Alanis made their mark, actress/singer Danielle Brisboise appeared on the scene with "Arrive All Over You." This 11-song collection of clever, slightly quirky pop/rock was the predecessor for what would follow, but never got the attention it deserves. With production, co-writing, vocal and instrumental contributions from the New Radicals' Gregg Alexander, Brisboise serves up a spunky, sexy album of pop rock that's smart but accessible. Her voice is strong and versatile, and the well-structured material gives her ample opportunities to show it off. Released in 1994, songs like "Middla My Heart," "Did I Lead You On," and "Ain't Gonna Cry No More" still maintain their fresh edge. "Gimme Little Sign" is simply a great pop song. "What If God Fell From The Sky" and the poignant "Just Missed The Train" have lost none of their emotional power. It boggles my mind that this album is now out of print. Search it out, it's well worth it. Brisboise's 1999 recording "Portable Life" remains unreleased. Hopefully she'll put it out independently so we fans can finally hear it.

_Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too_ from the New Radicals was easily one of the best albums I've heard in the last decade. So When I found out about Danielle's _Arrive All Over You_ & Gregg Alexander's input/production of the album, I picked it up and was not disappointed at all. This is an excellent album of fun clever pop/rock songs, as well as poingant tracks such as "Just Missed The Train" and "Promise Tomorrow Tonight". It is a *must have* for any fan of the New Radicals or for anybody who is tired of the dreary, boring similarity of what is currently being shoved down our throats on most radio stations.

If this album doesn't tear your heart out and make you feel good at the same time, you're dead and you just don't know it yet.

Hey Danielle: Let's arrive all over each other!

i actually bought this album out of curiosity; i heard gimme little sign and bought the single: the 2 album trax just blew me away (aint gonna cry, just missed the train). an immediate purchase of the cd was ordered from the internet - thanx amazon - and now i'm hooked. dying to hear the next album, and if she ever records another song like welcome to love and doesn't release it, i would fire her record company
