Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
As transformations go, that of Louise Nurding to Louise Redknapp, is more impressive than anything Stars In Their Eyes have ever done. In the two years she's been away, the ex- Eternal girl better known for her posing than for her pop, has married, matured and discovered the essence of a good song...sex and conviction. Marrying her long-time footballing love Jamie Redknapp has obviously had a profound effect on her; Elbow Beach is named after the golden stretch of sand where she spent her honeymoon and "First Kiss (The Wedding Song)", "Bed Time" and "In Our Room" are all dedicated to the joy of sex and being married. And this time, unlike the supposedly sexy songs from her previous platinum selling albums Naked and Woman In Me, she sounds like she means it--probably because this time she wrote it. The pop is slick in a George Michael "Fast Love" way, the lyrics occasionally pointed (she attacks media luvvies and pop hangers on with "Beautiful Inside" and single "2Faced") in a George Michael way, and without a doubt her sexy, sophisticated and grown-up third album is the best thing she's done. --Dan Gennoe

I like this album a lot better than 'Woman In Me' and 'Naked' because she sounds more mature and three quaters of the album is good pop music!
My favourite track on the album is 'lost' as it has a portishead feel to it. Other great tracks are 'Beautiful Inside', 'First Kiss', '2 Faced', and 'The Best Thing'.
Although - 'That's What Friends Are For' and 'Take You There' don't really live up to expectations.
Overall a very good album.

....'Beautiful inside' a fine piece of pop, and other highlights include the recent number 3 smash hit '2 - faced', 'first kiss' and 'city boy fix'. This is a strong, forceful album far better than her 1996 debut 'Naked' however it does not feel as if there are as many possible singles on it as 1997's 'Woman In me' which was very commercially successful,but there are enough singles on 'Elbow Beach' to enough to ensure Louise will be at the top end of charts unil her fourth album comes along. VERY GOOD!

This album has seen Louise move from her pop,upbeat of Naked, In Walked Love, and Lets Go Round Again, (with the exception of City Boy Fix, from this album)To a more 'sexy' Louise. But She seems to lack the harshness need for 2 Faced (but perhaps thats the point? )
All in all quite a disappointing album, with fewer tracks than her previous 2 albums, and not one song seemed to stand out and make you want to play it again.
Sorry Louise....

Disappointing
As a pop fan, I found this album very bland and boring. As someone said before, there were no stand-out tracks and therefore I only listened to the album twice because it just did... Read more

A very impressive return for Lou!
At first the single 2 faced shocked me, it wasn't the same Louise who had hits with 'Naked' or 'Let's go Round again' - the style was very different. Read more
