4.0 out of 5 stars NO STRINGS required, just one voice !, October 19, 1999

As a LONG-TIME Sheena Easton fan, I am so thankful that she finally realized that her voice needs to be showcased. This c.d. is nothing at all like "The Lover In Me" or "Doin' What Comes Naturally," with no evidence of "The Artist formally known as Who Cares's" influence on her style (Thank God). She has a golden voice and this is my favorite music to play when enjoying a candle-lit dinner. I really think you'll agree.

Far and Away, "No Strings" is my favorite work by Sheena Easton (particularly due to the fact I am an avid Jazz fan). Her vocals on this album are phenomenal. If only she had stuck with this genre of music, she might still be popular today. Because of the low price of this album, it truly is a great buy. Pick it up today!

5.0 out of 5 stars A revelation, May 4, 1999

Wait a minute, isn't Sheena Easton the saucy Scottish pop singer who sings those sexy, melodic and, at times, goofy pop songs? So, what's she doing singing songs by the likes of the Gershwins and Irving Berlin?

It's a natural reaction that too many people had when this record was released almost six years ago. And it's also an unfair reaction, especially considering the considerable depth and passion she puts into these performances. OK, she's not Ella Fitzgerald, but then no one is. Sheena Easton is Sheena Easton and she shows enough confidence in herself here to really make the record a delight. She is especially effective on the passionate "If You Go Away (Ne Me Quitte Pas)" and the swinging "The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else." "The Nearness Of You" emphasizes the clarity of Easton's voice and "I Will Say Goodbye" shows off her deep range. And while her fused Pop/Jazz stylings may not be enough to please the most fierce Jazz fans, it's a nice insight into the wonders that Sheena Easton's voice has to offer.
