like a lot of people i have been waiting for this to finally get released having loved Cant Stop the Rain and Nasty Little Rumour. Shena has great vocals, some great get happy tunes, but my only reservation is some of the talking on the intros, hate to say it, but it made me cringe a bit. I appreciate it may all be telling a story, but that didnt work for me. It did work very well tho when inserted in to the songs for example on Homewrecker. When i heard the preview of tracks on another site, the first track was just the chatting intro which if i hadnt known the fantastic work Shena does, would have put me off investing in the album.
Get to the great dance music and singing and let yourself go.

It's not been easy to be a fan of Shèna's solo career, with her previous album yanked off Amazon's pre-release page (presumably to become digital only?) and a distinct lack of publicity for some fantastic single releases. The already forgotten `Nu Disco' movement may have wanted Shèna as their leader but sadly the record buying public had already turned their attention elsewhere.
So it was entirely by accident that I stumbled upon this, Shèna's new physical album release for 2010. I wasn't entirely sure it was even the same artist, such is the change in artwork direction from the previous campaign (`disco diva in feathers' sadly now consigned to the inside cover).
Thankfully, the music is very much in keeping with those early singles - indeed, all three of them are included here. `Cant' Stop The Rain' is an exquisite tribute to the sound of Chic, capturing both the unstoppable monster bassline and also the `crying at the discotheque' melancholy behind the glamour. `Nasty Little Rumour' is a witty challenge to a cheating partner and has the best chorus here. 'My Fantasy' again has that classic disco sound (this time with a nod to Earth, Wind & Fire).
Of the new tracks, the standout is the campy `Starship Discolicious', which recalls Alcazar at their finest. If the line "We're like Charlie's Angels, only better shoes (we love Jimmy Choos)" fills you with horror, this is certainly not the album for you. This is dance music with it's tongue often in its cheek and it's heart on it's sleeve. There seems to be a move towards a slightly more contemporary dance sound - including auto tuned effects - but the focus remains Shèna's gloriously rich vocals.
I'm not a huge fan of the spoken intros which start each track but they aren't bad enough to spoil the listening experience (although it's dangerously close on 'Homewrecker').
I fear this album may be destined to be loved by a small number of disco fans but that Shèna's mainstream success may continue to be in her continuing contributions to anonymous dance hits (by the likes of Alex Guadino, Michael Gray, Junior Jack etc). Which is a real shame, as Shèna Winchester has a huge personality that is stamped all over this warm and melodic collection (co-written by Shèna and her husband). If it could only get a break somewhere (eg radio play, use in a film) I have no doubt that this album could catch fire and propel Shèna towards the recognition she so richly deserves.

Shena released a brilliant disco-house album. Maybe the best album in this genre for years. I can't stop listening to it. The songs sounds like a mixture of 70s-Disco and contemporary vocal-house. This album just make you feel good.

Finally! The album is out, and it is FUN! If you like modern disco (or the last couple of RuPaul albums), then you should like this. Perfect for the weekend.
