Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
A pair of up-tempo, minor-key tunes kicks off this home-grown diva's debut CD. The catchy opener, "It Feels So Good", recalls both 1980s freestyle and Cher's wildly successful hit single "Believe". The next track, "I Put a Spell on You", is "inspired by" (as the CD's sleeve puts it) Screamin' Jay Hawkins's classic R&B gem of the same name, though the new version has none of the 1956 original's over-the-top sense of absurdity and abandon. Sonique's "Spell" is a lean machine fuelled by a disco bass throb, festooned with strings, and graced by Sonique's stylish vocals. Hear My Cry covers a lot of dance territory, from the dressed-up funk of "Are You Ready?" to the techno-tinged house of "Love Is on Our Side". The album also includes an R&B slow jam ("Drama"), gloomy trip-hop ("Empty [Hideaway]"), and a piano ballad ("Learn to Forget"). A fair amount of the disc's tracks are pedestrian, but what makes just about any of them worth checking out is Sonique's distinctive voice, an instrument with an unusual grain to it. --Fred Cisterna

'It Feels so Good', 'Sky' and 'I Put a Spell on You' were all excellent singles but they are also the only good tracks on this album. 'Empty (Hideaway)' is OK but the original version by Amanda Ghost (on the 'Ghost Stories' album) is far superior. The other songs are fillers and not good ones at that. I was expecting better, hopefully her second album will deliever the goods. If you already own her singles then save some money and avoid this album at all costs!
