Format:Audio CD
I love this album! my pre-order copy came today and I suppose I could be counted as a 'new' Kerry fan as although I had heard of her before now and thought she was very good, I never appreciated just how good she was until I heard this album.
Track by track:
1. Dangerland- very good start to the album, probably not my favourite, definately anthemic 4/5
2. Anthem- amazing, one of the best songs from chess and with added Brain May guitar, what more could you want! 5/5
3. I can't be your friend- Written by May and Black- incredible 5/5
4. Defying gravity- I don't think I need to say more than wow for this- 5/5
5. I'm not that girl- more rocky than it is in the musical, but this way it fits in more with the album, I like the song, but not as much as defying gravity 4/5
6. You have to be there- I have never heard this song before which is from a swedish musical written by Benny and Bjorn of ABBA - this may become another favourite 5/5
7. Love it when you call- My favourite song from 'The Feeling' and kerry does it justice and them some, great harmonies- 5/5
8. save me- cover of Queen song 3.5/5
9. Diamonds are forever- again another amazing version of a classic, kerry has a unique style and never sounds as though she is trying to copy anyone- not that she needs to, very atmospheric- 5/5
10. No one but you- this is by far the best song of the album, sounds as though this was written for her it suits her so well - 5/5
11 I loved a butterfly- more chilled end to the album 4/5
This album should do well, it deserves to as it fits so well with her voice and style, there is no filler and not a bad song on it!Buy this, you will not regret it.

If you haven't heard Kerry Ellis sing before, you haven't lived. simply the BEST cd i have ever had the pleasure of purchasing. Beautiful tone, great song selection with amazing re-vamps and some new songs too. If you like Queen and you like things that little bit different then you need to buy this Cd. I have it on repeat since the day a bought it, brilliant buy.

Gosh, where to start with this incredible album .. basically Kerry totally rocks it up !!
I recieved my album on the day it came out and 5 days on Iam still constantly blasting it out for all the world to hear! I have listened to the entire album over and over and Kerry still leaves me wanting more and more of her incredibly powerful yet beautiful vocals.
Kerry's album is an none stop collection stunning anthemic songs it is so difficult to know where to begin. Kerry and her producer and certain Mr Brian May have taken years carefully choosing and perfecting each song and it shows throughout the entire album. I simply cannot choose a favourite song on the album as it changes daily and each song really is fantastically moving and simply stunning.
Kerry has a voice that you vary rarely hear nowadays, it is one which I truly admire and adore. Miss Eliis' can bring such passion and power to songs such as "Anthem" which really is truly breathtaking. This is contrasted with an angelic and beautfiful tone which she brings to the acoustic version of "Loved a butterfly" Once you hear Kerry's voice, it will never leave you.
Kerry and Brian should be very proud of this album and it deserves all the success in the world.
Buy this album ... you will not be disapointed I can absolutely guarantee it.

I think this is a perfect blend of two musical personalities-both are very powerful but also sensitive perfomers who feed off one another. Read more
