5.0 out of 5 stars
Simply one of her best albums, May 22, 2001
Well, if you have the album-do not read this as you will agree with me.It is one of her best albums.Actually, everything that they (Michael and Sandra) have done so far is really,really good. I do not understand why people say that Madonna is the best woman in pop music-probably becasue Sandra didn't take her clothes off! Well,but who is the prettiest?Yeah,that is Sandra.And who has the better voice? Yeah,Sandra. And who has the best albums?Yeah, Sandra. So-to everybody:I do not mind Madonna but when we talk about a talent and music-please do not mix them as there is only one woman and only one group that gave us so much joy during the years and they are: Sandra and fab Enigma. The album is sad and full of joy at the same time- a mix that is essential for every listener. Have you heard the new Enigma album?It is a must. I am really looking forward to buy the new Sandra album that will be released later this year.And I am sure it is worth buying it and that it will be better than Madonna's "electronic" music.Well done Sandra-you managed to prove you are the best one.

Sandra is simply incredible..., March 30, 2001
I was first turned on to Sandra about a year ago, through her "Voice of Enigma". For those of you that don't know, she is the one who speaks softly and sensually on certain tracks of the Enigma cd's. I could write a long review in praise of this woman, but it would go on forever, so I will be fairly brief. She is an incredible talent, that is virtually unknown in the USA, but extremely popular elsewhere in the world, and Europe. On this Cd, her debut solo effort, she shows off her fantastic vocal range, which is all of the following:soft, sexy, sensual, warm, happy, moving, emotional and flawless. Her husband Michael Cretu, produced and wrote every song. This man is a genius, and along with Sandra's beauty and angelic pipes....it's no wonder it was such a successful combo. The debut single ( Maria Magdelena) was #1 in over 30 countries. The songs are quite catchy, and you can't help being put in a great mood listening to them. My other favorite on this CD is "In the Heat of the Night" Do yourself a favor and discover Sandra, you will be very glad you did. She is one in a million.

Fantastic Album. I am glad I finally found IT, May 3, 1999
I first encountered the music of Sandra while visiting relatives in Lima, Peru in 1987. I looked for this album all over Lima, and then when I returned to the States. Finally I found it in the record collection of an international student from Italy at Bates College. I taped it, but subsiquently lost it. I am so glad to find it again. True, the songs may seem Madonna derivative at first, but if you listen to lyrics of cuts such as Maria Magdalena and Little girl, you can quickly see how some of the dance pop of the 1980s could be venues of social criticism (A LA PET SHOP BOYS), particularly gender relations. Unlike Madonna. Sandra's voice is inviting, even seductive. Madonna must rely upon her Boy Toy image to project the Madonna-Whore dichotomy with which society defines women. Sandra projects this duality with her innocent-sounding soft voice and seductive dance music. If you have to get one Sandra Album, this is it. I picked up Everlasting Love becuase it was a US release, and her personality is lost with high tech dance music and ludicrous songs (such as HI Hi HI) which American marketing execs thought they could play up to get American teenagers to buy that album. Do not get it (I think you cannot anymore, anyway). GET LONGPLAY.
