5.0 out of 5 stars The disc that made me fall in love with Sheena Easton..., August 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: You Could Have Been With Me (Audio CD)

In 1981, this is the first Sheena Easton album I ever owned, and I practically wore the thing out, playing it over and over. Finally reissued on CD, it's still a gem. The hit title song is, quite simply, the best thing she's ever recorded: Thoughtful lyrics and a vocal performance that is tender and passionate at the same time. When she reaches for the high notes before she launches into the final chorus, it can send chills down your spine. And this was years before Mariah Carey made such gymnastic vocal touches common.

But there are plenty of other great moments here: "A Little Tenderness" has a Motown groove to it; "Just Another Broken Heart" is pure '80s pop, with an irresistibly jerky rhythm; "Johnny" is a solid rocker; "I'm Not Worth the Hurt" is a marvelous heartbreak ballad that Sheena can do like no other. In fact, there's not a bad song on here, and the diversity of the material -- not to mention some of Sheena's finest singing ever -- make this disc as fresh now as it was then. Definitely check this one out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheena's Sophomore Success, May 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: You Could Have Been With Me (Audio CD)

Sheena Easton's second album may not have had a smash single of the "Morning Train" caliber on the charts, but with the quiet beauty of "When He Shines" this album is a worthy successor to her self-titled debut. Finally back in print with the addition of bonus tracks makes this a must-have for Sheena Easton fans.
