She Did It, March 15, 2009
This review is from: Do You (Audio CD)
Some 24 years later, this is one of my favorite Sheena albums. Sheena's vocals are always excellent and I think the pairing with producer, Nile Rodgers, made for a great mix. I often think that if certain music as this had gotten wider exposure, it would have sold a lot more copies than it did. Radio is conservative, in my opinion as to what they play. There should be stations that venture out of the safety box and make more great music known to the general population.

Pretty Decent, August 17, 2001
This review is from: Do You (Audio CD)
After the success of her previous album A PRIVATE HEAVEN, Sheena Easton apparently felt the need to follow it up with like-minded material. Enlisting Madonna's LIKE A VIRGIN producer and Chic mastermind Nile Rodgers, DO YOU is awash in what typified music of that era--alot of drum machines and synths. Unfortunately, like most of Easton's albums around that time, the music found within hasn't held up terribly well. The album builds alot on the sounds of the previous album, though it's a bit more upbeat, so it's somewhat surprising that it was a commercial failure. The set's first single, 'Do It For Love', may come off at first listen like a Madonna cast-off, but it remains not only one of Easton's most underrated singles, but the best track on the album. Among the other tracks, 'Don't Turn Your Back', Money Back Guarantee', and 'When The Lightning Strikes' leave the most lasting impression, but again, the slightly dated production detracts somewhat from the overall feel of the album. On a positive note, Easton's vocal work is first-rate,some of her best in fact. Overall, a pretty decent effort.

The lady has class., October 24, 2000
This review is from: Do You (Audio CD)
I have been a huge fan of Sheenas since the beginning. Do You was a wonderful change of direction in her career. We get to hear a more upbeat Sheena on this disc. Nile Rodgers proved to be an asset to this project. Any Sheena fan should be able to see the great tunes on this one. This catalogue of songs out shines Madonna in every way. There is no comparison of the two. Sheena has a beautiful voice, Madonna does not. This is one of those cds you can put in, and let it play all the way through.I highly recommend this one. Enjoy.
