There have been many rumors about a re-release of Rachel's fantastic album "Funky Dory" (first release in September 2003). After the cancelling of the third single "Breathe In, Breathe Out" everyone wanted to hear the new version of it that was re-recorded in Sweden. Now we'll be able to hear the single mix of a great song! Next to this there is her brandnew single "Some Girls" and the Sky Sports Commercial song: "More, More, More" (cover of 70s disco hit).
I actually don't know what the "Sweet Dreams (Original Radio Edit)", but I guess it's the version we already know from the first album.

What's new?
* Artwork
* "Funky Dory (Single Version)"
* "Breathe In, Breathe Out (Single Version)"
* "Some Girls"
* "More, More, More"
* "Some Girls (Remix)"
and maybe: "Sweet Dreams My L.A. Ex (Original Radio Edit)"
Everyone who hasn't bought the original album yet: Buy this re-release! It's your second chance to hear songs sung by a big talent: Rachel Stevens. And for those who bought her first album can also buy this new version - why not? There are cool new tracks and the cover is just amazing!
So go and get it :)

Rachel Stevens, Ex S - Club Member just delivered to us a Pop Masterpiece called "Funky Dory", which include a lot of catchy songs, delicious beats and seductive lyrics.
Rachel is still growing in many ways. Since she left the massive "S Club", she has a more mature, fresh & cosmopolitan sound, making her the ideal pop icon.
Also, every song on "Funky Dory" has a 'special something' that keeps you hooked to the album.
Let's review the album tracks:
1. Some Girls: The Sport Relief's single of 2004, "Some Girls" it's an electro flavoured track ala Goldfrapp's "Strict Machine" -which exploded on the USA dance chart a couple of months ago-, easily one of the best tracks of the year !
2. Sweet Dreams (My LA EX): The Lead Single of the album, It has a very acoustic sound to it. Produced by Cathy Dennis, the song has an unique style and *obviously* the mainstream audience liked it - My LA EX peaked at Number 2 in the UK.
3. Funky Dory: Fabulous track, which has an original sound & strangely catchy lyrics - The title track was the 2nd Single from the Album, but it was sadly overlooked by the UK public back in December 2003 =(
4. Fools: Great song - It will stay in your mind for a while, you have been warned!. Again, Rachel is delivering to us an acoustic pop song. This one was also included on Disney's 'The Princess Diaries 2' soundtrack, but with 'less seductive' lyrics
5. Breathe In, Breathe Out: Fresh & uplifting track, perfect for a sunny day because of it's happy lyrics & strings, "Breathe In, Breathe Out" is a standout of the album and shines with it's own light
7. Glide: Exquisite Song, "Glide" it's one of my favorites from "Funky Dory". It may sound strange at first -it has weird beats in the background-, but it will grow on you quickly. Pure Pop Perfection !
7. Heaven Has To Wait: The Big "Ballad" of the album, Heaven has to wait includes strings & a sad piano on the background. Rachel shows her vocal range on this one.
8. More, More, More: Latin-esque beats, faux-samba sounding track delivered by Stevens, the album version it's a bit weak, though the single version it's dance tastic !!!
9. Blue Afternoon: Relaxing Track, once again Rachel scored some points here. "Blue Afternoon" it's perfect for those rainy days or as the title says, it's great for a listening experience on those Blue Afternoons :P
10. I Got The Money: It sounds good, it's a great track to listen at night - For a strange reason, it reminds me of a Casino, Don't know why lol !
11. Little Secret: Catchy Chorus & Lyrics - This Song was the B-Side to "Sweet Dreams (My LA Ex)", it would have been a great single choice.
12. Solid: It's one of the strongest Tracks of the album, and as the title says is "Solid" :P, Rachel sings very well in this one too - showcasing her beautiful voice.
13. Silk: The 'Dark' soundsing track of the album & the sexiest one too, it's the perfect example of the new mature sound of Rachel Stevens.
Hopefully, Rachel will be in the music industry for a long time , she deserves it. Now, I'm waiting for her new solo release. Pick up this one - you won't be dissapointed
Thanks for reading this review

Sorry i had to use rachels latest single "so good" in this review. But the album is so good..oops i've done it again. Unlike most pop albums this is a very strong record with only a limited number of filler tracks. i got the money and solid being the only two that spring to mind. the album kicks off with her two most successful singles, the now legendary some girls and sweet dreams my LA ex. then comes the big single flop of funky dory (with a riff belonging to my hero bowie) the song is superb and should NOT have flopped but you then get another pop gem with the rock n rollesque "fools" followed by the beautiful and very s club "breath in breath out". My favourite songs follow with glide and the moving and beautiful heaven has to wait. aside from the two filler tracks you get the 60's poppy blue afternoon (perfect for roaming the summer streets) and the true masterpeice of the album..silk. james bond meets miss. stevens. overall this album is a strong pop record, best pop album of 2004 and an incredible debut from britains best pop princess. if you like sweet dreams or so girls, or indeed any pop song by miss. stevens then i urge you to buy this album as it really is a lost pop gem that should have done better than it did.

An excellent first album from Rachel
A genuinely brilliant album and a must have for any s-club fan. The lyrics and music are both great and really suit Rachels voice and singing style. A fantastic album!!!!!

Good solid pop with some stand-out tracks
OK, Rachel Stevens is never going to be the next PJ Harvey or Ella Fitzgerald. But she does what she does - funky R&B-tinged disco pop - well and enjoyably. Read more

Not all together Funkydory, but Okee-dokee!
Why oh why the failure of second single "Funkydory" and subsequently the original album? Why the re-release?
Simple! Read more
