5.0 out of 5 stars Better late than never, April 26, 2000

I have waited for nearly ten years for Sam Brown to fulfil her promise and after all that time I have finally been rewarded. This is by far the best album she has released and there are so many fantastic songs that I find myself putting this on repeat and listening for hours. This would make a wonderful addition to any record collection, and for those of us that still like to hear someone who can actually sing, then this is a must. Fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars A prize for anyone lucky enough to discover it., August 27, 1999

By A Customer

Calling Sam Brown! Truly amazing singer has produced some great music since her debut 10 years ago. "Box" is certainly at the top of my list (while "Stop" and "43 Minutes" are a close second, but good luck finding them). The title cut is a good showcase for her voice, but she really gets going on songs like "I Forgive You" co-written with (and also covered by) Maria McKee, and the mesmerizing "Intuition". I played a couple of the "catchy" rockers like "When The Crow Flies" and "Liberty In Reality" for a friend grumbling about how there doesn't seem to be a market in the states for Sam's music and his immediate response was "Sure there is, look at Sheryl Crow." And while I also like Sheryl, her voice doesn't compare to Sam Brown's. Airplay or not, this collection is a prize for anyone lucky enough to discover it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful songs from singer-songwriter Sam Brown, February 6, 2004

One of the best singer songwriters on the scene today, Sam Brown moves beyond the "soul diva" stylings of her best-selling debut CD "Stop" with the emotionally turbulent "Box." Songs like "Whisper" and "I Forgive You" have an epic sweep that showcases Brown's powerful multi-octave range while the more introspective "Embrace the Darkness" is one of the most evocative songs on the subject of emotional depression. An important CD from a seriously underrated artist.
