I'm sure that everybody remembers the Top 10 hit single "Kiss the rain". This song was released in 1997 and became a big hit. "Growing pains" is Billie's first album and it doesn't have only one hit. There's also another hit called "A few words too many".
Billie's voice is unique, is very strong (I have to admit that the first time that I heard "Kiss the rain" I thought it was from a male singer). I would compere her with Anastacia or Tina Turner but with her own style.
Billie was born in England and after this production released her second and latest album "Vertigo" back in 2000 but the album went nowhere. I think that it was a good album but not as good as "Growing pains". I'm sure that if you hear one of her songs you'll buy this album and maybe you'll by her second too.

Billie Myers released this gem to the world and opened up a world of poetry and music at once. The sleeve of the album actually has poems that inspired the songs which I thought was brilliant. There is so much more to this album than KISS THE RAIN. I especially love YOU SEND ME FLYING which is poetic, heartfelt, expressive and makes you want to "find the one" your searching for. I also love A FEW WORDS TOO MANY which is both happy and sad at the same time...this is a rainy day album when you want to remember what it's like to be in love. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I've had it for 3 yrs. and I still pop it in all the time.

Absolutely incredible voice. Most albums have a lot of filler pieces to use up space. Yes, it has one or two songs I consider as such, but the rest are wonderful. You can tell that Billie Myers truly cares about her music. I've enjoyed this album for years. I can't understand why she is not a greater success. It's amazing that many so called "artists" are so popular while Ms. Myers seems to be shuffled to the sidelines.

She's is not just a Rain, She's a complete Storm a in this cd is clear...Her voice is strong, the lyrics are honest and really i can enjoy every second of her music, "KISS THE RAIN" "A FEW WORDS TOO MANY" ""YOU SEND ME FLYING" "TELL ME" and my personal favourite " THE SHARK AND THE MERMAID" makes me realized that Billie Myers is an awesome singer, i was searching for GROWING,PAINS for long time, and now i'm lucky enough to have it. So my advice is, yes...go and buy it.

There are very few cd's out there that I can listen to over and over again without getting sick of them. Even fewer that I can out down for a long time and then come back to even more in love with them. Billie Myers has a great voice, and there isn't a person out there who won't be moved by "Kiss the rain" or "a few words too many" at least once in their life!

I love Billie Myers and when Amazon had her MP3 version of the CD on sale for a "song" (pun intended), I had to get it. I have the hard CD somewhere in my house, but like most things, I store it away and forget what corner I put it in.

I love this album - in fact it is probably one of my favorite albums ever released. Starting with the infectious and so sad it's fun "Kiss The Rain" - a haunting tale of jealousy and longing for a lover whose far away, "go outside, kiss the rain.. whenever you need me/ if your lips feel empty and tempted/ kiss the rain and wait for the dawn/ keep in mind we're under the same sky/ and the nights as empty for me as for you/ hello? do you miss me? I hear you say you do but not the way I'm missing you/ would it mean anything if you knew what I'm left imagining..." the album moves into more of this territory as Billie's sexy soulful alto takes you through every aspect of her heart and soul - the lyrics point more to a poetry than a standard pop song lyric and she pulls it all off beautifully.

The heartbreak drama of "A Few Words Too Many", (wait a minute what did you say/ did you say there's no real reason for you to stay/ I hear you talking but you're just not making sense/ I've been waiting for a happy ending/ now I know that there won't be any/ just a few words too many in my head) and "Please Don't Shout" (please don't shout/ it's only anger that you're waking/ please don't shout/ can't you see I'm not listening), the hilarious love triangle of "Having Trouble With The Language" ("she looked better in her black dress but you looked better dead..") and the sex filled "Tell Me" which has such clever lyrics you completely forget they're borderline dirty - "Tell Me, how would it feel to be me/ I wanna crawl under your skin/ I want to know how it feels in me, yeah, yeah," and set to an Egyptian type background melody.

I had heard the song "Kiss The Rain" several years ago when it was first released, and fell in love with it. Unfortunately, I never bought the album. Then, a while back, I was browsing through the used section of [a]store and found "Growing, Pains" ... I figured for [the price], it wouldn't be that much of a bad investment, so I picked it up. Little did I know, this ...used disc would change my life and my view on music forever.
I would call this album "simple and heartfelt" but it's so much more than that. The first track is "Kiss The Rain" with its desperate and haunting lyrics mixed with uplifting guitar melodies. "A Few Words Too Many" is honest and provacative, once again carrying on the etheral guitar rhythms. "Tell Me" is dazzlingly erotic with an Arabian feel, explicitly sensual lyrics and a hardcore magical backdrop of sound. The track "Opposites Attract" gives the feel of the afterglow of a morning lovemaking session, with its sweet and simple lyrics and melody.
The photography and art featured in the booklet is simply breathtaking, and amazingly matches the album's feel completely. The poems featured inside are clever and thought-provoking, shedding more light on the truer meanings of the songs.
I can honestly understand why Billie Myers wasn't a runaway hitmaker - She's too honest. She's too heartfelt. She's too cunning and witty for today's superficial sex and bubblegum audience. But really, that's what makes her all the more special. And she will always hold a special place in my heart.
