Available only as an import right now, with word that a domestic release is coming, this is hands-down the best collection of pop of the year. With just a couple of ballads included, this is a feel-good, sing-out-loud-in-the-car, toe-tapping wonder. The first single, "Release Me" went through the rough in Europe and there are numerous potential hits waiting in the wings. Get your hands on this and the Cahill remix of "Release Me" and prepare to move.

I ordered this cd for my roomate she loves it. We found a dealer listed on amazon and saved some money, a outfit in Kentucky. Just remember when buying any inport cd , that if they have a bonus video track it most likely will not play in the U.S.. Overseas, They use a diffrent video scan rate. and is not compatible . but it was bought for the music and she loves it

This is Agnes' 3rd album I've listened to and it is her best. As I listened to her sing other tracks across the 3 albums, the one constant in my opinion is how her voice absolutely shines on uptempo dance tracks and this cd has an overabundance of such tracks which is why it's a slam dunk in my book!

My instant favorite tracks are:

RELEASE ME - is pure pop perfection, she sounds terrific hitting that high note and the musical arrangement is stellar

ON & ON - this is a more pulsating disco-sounding track that although very enjoyable fades out strangely

SECRET LOVE - another uptempo dance track without the pulsating beats, Agnes again sounds fantastic on this track!

SOMETIMES I FORGET - slower tempo'd track although not quite a ballad. If I've had any criticism about Agnes, it's been her singing ballads but this is a very pretty song & she sounds great on it. It kind of reminds me of those great Gloria Estefan ballads where they used big beats matched with heartfelt lyrics

BIG BLUE WALL - another disco-ish beat driven track

HOW DO YOU KNOW - I like the arrangement of this more melodically driven track, it's not so much a dance track as an uptempo song

LOVE ME SENSELESS - after its disco-ish opening, the atmospheric violin arrangement really helped set the track off

The bonus tracks I enjoy are: RELEASE ME - an acoustic version on which Agnes' voice really stands out; I NEED YOU NOW (original mix) - a gorgeous acoustic version that they should've released

The tracks that I think are ok but just weren't as strong to me are:

I NEED YOU NOW - an upbeat dance track that goes acoustic in the middle, it's a strange arrangement to the song; YOU RAIN - an anthemic ballad; LOVE LOVE LOVE - another uptempo dance track that's on the filler side; IF I COULD BUILD MY WHOLE WORLD AROUND YOU (LIVE) - can't go wrong with Motown hits but they didn't do enough with the song to make it their own; ON & ON (acoustic) - the dance version is better as with BIG BLUE WALL (acoustic).

I'd recommend anyone whose curious about this singer, Agnes to get this cd - she has really found her niche and she & her producers created a really enjoyable cd. If you like dance music featuring a powerhouse vocalist, you will probably enjoy this cd as much as I did.

The CD is wonderful! Every song has a different little twist but all have a great, big background beat. Her voice is phenomenal.
