Being honest, I should say that I'm not really feeling a lot of female rnb/hip-hop, they just don't do it for me (apart from Missy) they chat/whine about money, who can do who better, but this was amazing.

I remember first hearing it at my friends house in 1996, and I bought it straight after. To this day, it's one of the best albums I own as well as one of the best rnb albums I own. I have a lot of respect for her and her music. Simply put, it's a wonderful piece of work.

It's real laid back, moody, jazzy - true fans of the genre will not be disappointed. She even stays clear of the commercial formulae by having tracks up to 6/7 mins long, and if you're wandering whether or not she can hold a track that long...she can.

I can't even pick any top tracks, because once it's on, it plays all the way through.

I'm honoured to have it.

PEACE EASY

What a great album this is and what such an underrated one it is. This woman can sing. There are some artists who just have good production on an album to make it sell but this one has that as well as a good voice which I can only describe as strong and smooth. For some reason her voice always reminds me of honey. I'd recommend this album to anyone that's after something to relax to aswell as for those romantic evenings. It's a more than decent album to listen to.

This was a very nice cd. I purchased it on cassette in 1997 & played it until the tape wore thin. This is truly a collectible.
All this woman needs is a concrete producer & promoter!

One Love

Chantay Savage took Gaynor's disco hit and turned it into a slow jam. It's not bad but then again it's not too great either. Chantay Savage's vocals are great but the way she took Gaynor's disco hit and turned it into a slow jam just threw me off. Gloria Gaynor's song doesn't work as a slow jam. At least when Diana Ross covered it in 1995 for her Take Me Higher album, she remained true to it's disco origin. Anyways, if I wasn't introduced to Gaynor's version first And if Chantay Savage had made dance remixes, I probably would have enjoyed it better. It gets 3.25 stars for Chantay Savage's voice. The woman can sing.

Chantay Savage's voice can ease any pain. I first purchased this cassette in 1997. It recently broke and I have suffered major withdrawals since. Today I will order three more copies for work, home and car. I cannot wait for her new one. Peace and love

This is what soul/r&b is about. If you want something for the head, then listen to riff jazz. This album goes right to the soul and sticks there, and has become an album I listen to over and over again. I like the mood it get me into and the fast tracks get me moving every time.

A Diva of RnB ballads, Chantay strides through this album with consumate ease. There is no strain or stress in her her demerara-sweet voice, but only control, and the richest of tonal qualities. This is the album to share with a loved one - every track strains with a sensual delight. With an armful of producton staff, her voice holds the album together, invoking an onslaught of warmth and sensuousness from track 1 to track 15. Her musical upbringing shines through every number, gifting the listener with fabulously layered harmonies and vocal backdrops that perfectly complement her accomplished melodies. An absolute must for lovers of swing/r&b ballad, ably assisted by top drawer musicians and the almost complete guidance of Steve Hurley. Buy it, buy some champagne, light the fire, call your lover, and play it over and over again.

Solid work, particularly the balladeerian version of I Will Survive which is anything, but a slavish cover of a disco hit.

Her remake of Gloria Gaynor's disco hit, into a soul gem is a stroke of genius and one of many highlights here. Tight production, great sound quality and a fair share of variety make this a good CD. "Turned Away", "All Night, All Day" and "90 in The Red" are my favorite cuts and they all sparkle with a mid to late 90's commercial soul sheen, but there is also a bit too much filler to make this a true soul classic. The title track makes this worth owning, THIS is what a remake should really be!

she has a wonderful talent and wish she got more reconition than she have recieved.
