4.0 out of 5 stars Great Album! Good mix of songs for all audiences!, January 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Deborah Cox (Audio CD)

I first bourght the album on the basis of the songs 'Sentimental' and 'Who Do You Love'. From hearing just these two songs I knew Deborah had a talent in her voice and in her abilty to perform a variety of music styles. The album was even better than I expected. Deborah's voice manages to achieve emotions in what she is singing so that we actually feel and can relate to the lyrics of her songs in more than a linear form; we can feel what Deborah feels the songs are about! With a great mix of writers and producers, in 1995, this album was one of my most prized; containing a range of songs, utilising the genre to its full extent. The album features also, tracks which Deborah ha co-written, showing that she not only has a beautiful voice, but the girl can make her own music, based around her own experiences. 4-stars for this album, only because you can tell the songs are a few years dated (compared to 1999), however they have held up well to the changing R&B scene! I urge you all to buy this album - you won't be disapointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Deborah before "Nobody's Supposed To Be Here", December 8, 1999

This review is from: Deborah Cox (Audio CD)

Ok, so with this, her debut album, Deborah Cox shows us why she is quickly becoming one of R&B's leading female vocalists, rivaling the talents of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey & Faith Evans. At this point in her career, she was just beginning, hence some of the downfalls to the disc, which we will get to later. For now, let's deal with the goods (not all of 'em though - I've only got 1000 words!):

1) Check out the vocals on "Where Do We Go From Here" - this is just a prelude to the smash "Nobody's Supposed To Be Here". This song is a beautiful track which was robbed in it's chart action when released as a single in 1996. Deborah sings it with all of her soul, and she co-wrote it as well!

2) "The Sound Of My Tears". Another track that was robbed as a single when released in 1996. Deborah really makes you believe in what she is singing.

3) "Who Do U Love" in both of it's forms. The original version (which WAS Deborah's highest charting single before "Nobody's Supposed To Be Here") is a pure pop/R&B confection which is begging to be consumed. Then you have your "Morales Remix" as well (Deborah's first #1 on the dance charts), a great radio edit which shows us why Deborah is quickly becoming a leading dance diva as well.

4) Look at the producer roster - Dallas Austin (Brandy, For Real) on "Sentimental" and "My Radio", Keith Crouch & Kipper Jones (Brandy) on "The Sound Of My Tears", Babyface (Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston) on "My First Night With You" - which he produces with Keith Andes - and David Morales (remixes for Aretha Franklin, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson) who shows his remix work on "Who Do U Love".

The only actual downfalls to this disc are the fact that some of the songs have become dated quickly. With no fault of Deborah's mind you, it's just that the face of R&B has changed in the past 4 to 5 years since this album has been released.

Pick this one up. One of my most listened to cd's of 1995-1996.

5.0 out of 5 stars *****Classy music, by a classy lady *****, December 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Deborah Cox (Audio CD)

Being on the same label as Whitney Houston, new Canadian singer, Deborah Cox was expected to shine, and be the 'next' Whitney. She has put on the same shoes Whitney wore, and is wearing them with confidence!

This album combines soulfull R&B tracks, with great pop songs, and romantic ballads. The songs "My first night with you" and "The sound of my tears" are incredible songs, which should have been released. Deborah uses her brilliant voice to create the beautiful ballad "Where do we go from here", and the Diane Warren written "Never gonna Break my heart Again" was a sure-fire #1.

Other highlights include 'Who do u love', 'Sentimental', 'I'm you natural woman', and 'It could've been you'.

The only low part is the - almost 6 minute 'Just be good to me' which could have,(should have ) ended mintues before is does! It drags on too long.

Other than that, this album is just as good as anything Whitney has put out, if not better!

Deborah is certain to stick around for years and years. Buy this album, and you'll know what I mean!
