5.0 out of 5 stars WARM, INVITING 90'S SOUL CANDY FOR THE GEN-X-ED OUT!!, August 11, 2000

This review is from: So Natural (Audio CD)

Whatever prevented ARISTA Records from releasing "SO NATURAL" in the United States kept us from probably one the BEST discs of the 1990's worldwide. This disc saw Lisa Stansfield's vocal talents, choice of material, and musical arrangements IN TOP FORM. Many tempos, styles, arrangements, and avenues of thought are explored on this disc. Even still the disc flows from one song to the other with ease, which is surprising considering the order in which the songs were mastered. The set begins with the laid-back "So Natural," dives into the early-70's-esque funk "Marvelous And Mine," and moves on to the uplifting, breezy, light-disco "Little Bit of Heaven," (slightly reminiscent of the "Charlie's Angels" theme song). Similarly, "Too Much Love Makin'" sounds also like a Swing Out Sister retro-disco cover, circa 1979. From there the disc captures several different moods, tempos, emotions, and styles. However, the best by far is the inclusion of the re-recording of "In All The Right Places." The original ballad recording was written for a JAMES BOND film which never developed. Subsquently, the track wound up in the closing credits of (and on the soundtrack recording of) the film "INDECENT PROPOSAL." The re-recording included on "SO NATURAL" has a mid-tempo soul/pop arrangement which as as relaxing as it is uplifting. Something about this track brings to mind a sunny, warm afternoon at the ocean amongst palm trees and warm sands. Just wonderful. Find this CD, buy it, and DO NOT LOAN IT TO YOUR FRIENDS....you'll never get it back.

5.0 out of 5 stars very addictive compact disc, December 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: So Natural (Audio CD)

Lisa Stansfield's cd "So Natural" is one of the most addictive of her releases. It is a definite must for any die hard fan. The fact that it was only released abroad makes it even more special to the avid collector. The songs are very heartfelt and her tone is throatier than in past releases. I highly recommend this release to anyone looking for the best of LISA....
