Rating: - superb
along with Duffy these are my 2 albums of the year. Every track is superb, very classy production and I love the use of horns on a lot of the tracks. Only 2 or 3 sound like Texas, otherwise you get Tamla, Nancy Sinatra and a French sound.I wish there were more songs as the 11 fly by when listening and its under 40 mins long. Do another next year Sharleen!
Rating: - dull
Just too mainstream, there are far more interesting things going on in the undergrowth - for a comparison I recommend Nick Worrall. His album is FREE to download as well.
Rating: - chill out with Sharleen
This is a great chill out album, a slight taste of Texas but in general this is Sharleen's baby. Great vocals that gently hook you in and relax you. She tries a number of styles and influences so this is, at times, hard to define as an album, so the best thing to do is just sit back and enjoy!
Recommended.
Rating: - Oh so middle-of-road Amy Winehouse / Duffy
I haven't read the other reviews on here (don't want to be influenced by them), but I bet more than one person has mentioned that this gorgeous, slinky little album is more than a little reminiscent of both Amy Winehouse and Duffy. In fact, it's a bit embarrassing to admit to buying this album as it's probably been put together by the producers who thought: "Hmm, Amy Winehouse and Duffy are huge at the moment - how can we produce something that's really similar, but aimed at the slightly less edgy audience. Kind of like Amy W but without the alleged drugs and bashing people in public." I imagine this is doing really well on radio stations aimed at 30- and 40-somethings. Smooth, effective vocals - there's nothing new or unexpcted on this album ... Read More:
Rating: - My first Sharleen-related purchase
[G W Hope's son reviewing.] I had never been a huge fan of Texas, but I always really enjoyed the classics such as "I Don't Want A Lover," "In Demand" and "Say What You Want" when I was younger. I always thought Sharleen had a fantastic voice so I bought this album upon the strength of the first single "All The Times I Cried."
I'm extremely glad I bought it; in my opinion I found it even slightly better than that of Duffy or Amy Winehouse, to who Spiteri is similarly compared to throughout this album [sure, she's had some negativity for it, but the girl does a fantastic job]. My only complaint, which has already been made by many, is that the album is too short! I don't have a problem with the length of the tracks but it would have ... Read More:
