5.0 out of 5 stars Some great Rachel music !!!, February 28, 2004

By	Max (Becancour, Quebec, Canada) - See all my reviews

I bought this CD as an import version from the UK through Amazon.co.uk and I must admit that I was more than surprised by its content and by Rachel's talent.

That said, if you're a big fan of S Club 7 (S Club since Seeing Double), there's a slight chance you may be disappointed. Rachel's style is much mature now than it was only a couple of years ago. She's now acting definately like the 25 years old woman she is. She's not a teen anymore.

There are 12 amazing songs on the CD, (11 original songs plus the remix of Sweet Dreams My L.A. Ex; Well, that's on the original U.K. version).

The two songs that are already released as singles in UK, Sweet Dreams My L.A. Ex and Funky Dory, are awesome songs, even though they are VERY different from each other. The next UK single, Breathe In Breathe Out is a very optimistic song and is probably the song that is the closest to any S Club material. Solid is also that kind of song that makes us remind S Club.

The song Silk is very, very sexy by its beat and the very suave voice of Rachel. The only ballad of this CD, Heaven Has To Wait, definately shows the vocal registry of Rachel which is great.

Anyway, I could go on and on and on, but nothing is better than listening to it by yourself. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. You can also search this CD through www.amazon.co.uk for a song by song review of this great album. Rachel RuLeS !!! :)

I WISH MORE RADIO STATIONS WOULD HAVE PICKED UP ON RACHEL STEVENS WHEN THIS CD CAME OUT. SHE HAS SOME GREAT VOCALS AND THE MUSIC IS NICE AND TIGHT. WHEN I HEARD HER VOICE WITH S CLUB 7 I KNEW RACHEL WAS GOING TO BE THE BREAKOUT STAR....
