This review is from: Looking Back Moving Forward (MP3 Download)

Much like her last album, this is a steady, strolling album. On the new songs, this works very well. It's a Lovely Day, Lucy, Hold Me, Canada, and Lilith are very good songs. They're just right for a strolling, light jazzy pace. But the rerecordings of her previous hit songs (Everytime We Touch, Family Man, Moonlight Shadow, To France) suffer in this style. They pale in comparison to the originals. It's like Maggie doesn't really commit to singing them. They remind me of how someone would sing the songs while standing alone in a bus stop, just swinging back and forth, singing them at a slow, steady, strolling pace. I'm all for alternate versions, but these are weak, passive covers.

But the songs that are new are very good and worth the price. The rest, I'd rather just listen to the originals.
