Make this album a Definite Addition to your CD Collection, January 3, 2001
Let me start off by saying that Tina Cousins is making her way up to become the top-selling, international artist in the world. I mean, COME ON, even if you heard one, two, or several songs from this album, here's what you can establish: she's very talented and absolutely gorgeous! Also, what I like about her the most, she doesn't stick with one type of genre; she has a mixture of dance, pop ballads, disco, and slow rhythmic tunes that will make you come back for more. Make this album a definite addition to your CD collection. If you don't believe me, look at my review of each song below and you decide:
1. Killin' Time - Great club beat to dance to; like the way how Tina changes her voice from mellow to groove.
2. Pray - Her first smash hit from this album; gets you moving no matter what mood you're in.
3. Angel - Mellow groove dance song; one of her best tracks that shows her vocal ability.
4. Live & Breathe - Slow dance song with excellent use of ambience and drums; another great vocal performance.
5. Forever - Her second smash hit from this album; in the style of Eurodance.
6. Breathless - In the style of a classic pop ballad; think of Celine Dion and Mariah Carey put together; again shows another great vocal performance.
7. Nothing To Fear - Disco beat, a touch of modern dance samples thrown in, and Tina's voice makes this song a definite listen.
8. Turn Back Time - My #1 favorite song from the album; a beautiful, yet sad, song about how one girl, who finally realizes that the guy who loved and cared for her, cries every night about how she threw it all away and hopes there will come a day where she will be able to turn back the clock and spend the rest of her life with him (I cry everytime when I listen to this song); spectacular vocal performance by Tina.
9. The Fool Is Me - Think of Sade when you listen to this song; a slow rhythmic tune.
10. Until The Day - Same as Track 9.
11. Mysterious Times - A definite club starter; an excellent closing song to a great CD.

FABULOUS, September 1, 2003
These songs are all good. Its pop music but its good. You can listen to the whole thing, I rarely listen to every song on an album. Its a few years now I dont care its still amazing. Its not very famous (anywhere) but its fabulous.
My favourite songs are angel, turn back time and until the day. I like all the songs alot.
If you like good female singers you will like this. None of the songs ever get skipped.

HATS OFF TO TINA...A GREAT DEBUT, April 6, 2003
Tina Cousins first hit the dance scene with a colaboration with Sash!- Mysterious Times. When I first heard this song, I instantly bought the single and awaited for her album to surface (likewise with Sash!). Tina proved her career with her first Australian solo release FOREVER...a great dance tune with a up beat pace that doesn't go overboard on the electronic sounds. Her voice is the asset to the song, and the chorus is quite catch like most of herb songs. The album doesn't scream dance music. It also shows her blues/jazz style with tracks like UNTIL THE DAY and THE FOOL IS ME. But, if you are into the dance scene, do not be taken away by that comment...this album still delivers in that area!!! The song PRAY is another dance song that has a choir feel to it when the chrous kicks in. ANGEL is a breathy light dance tune, likewise with LIVE AND BREATHE! The opening track is a great intro to the album, KILLIN' TIME illustrates the dance feel of the whole album...so if you like the first track- you'll love the album for sure. If you are lucky enough, try and score yourself the tour edition...it has some great remixes- i believe it was only an Australian release seeing that Australia was her biggest market for her music! It's now 2003- and we are still waiting for her to dance her way back- C'mon Tina- we are waiting with hats off!!!!
