I bought this album on its day of release back in the early nineties and was not disappointed. The album has more of a pop sound than say Heaven on Earth and Runaway Horses which had more of a rock feel. That said the songs and the up-tempo production are truly great. To me Live Your Life Be Free is a fantastic song and certainly not one to be skipped at all. Half the World is one of Belinda's best songs ever.
You will not be disappointed with this CD.

This incredible Belinda Carlisle album, her fourth solo release, was unjustifiably neglected and quickly forgotten by the public but not by those of us who recognize the incredible music this singer always delivers. A few tracks are somewhat average, but there are some really great songs on here that I enjoy listening to immensely. Belinda has one of the best voices in the industry, one which conveys passion and emotion vividly to this listener. This album features more up-tempo songs than her previous ones, communicating a "be strong and feel good" message to listeners. Despite the conspicuous absence of several slower ballads, love is still the theme of virtually every song Belinda sings.
The title track is a strong, upbeat song in which Belinda encourages a potential flame to think for himself because he will then surely realize that he should be with her and no one else. The style reminds me in a way of "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" and had all the makings of a big hit. "Do You Feel Like I Feel" is another fast-paced song wherein Belinda wonders if her new flame cares for her the way she cares for him. "Half the World" is a really beautiful love song about separated lovers which also speaks to those who are still waiting to find a soul mate. Featuring poignant lyrics such as "every time you leave, a part of me goes, too" and "the train that takes you from me brings somebody home," it is without a doubt one of Belinda's best love songs. Belinda really jams on the Latin-influenced "You're Nothing Without Me," producing an anthem of self-confidence in reaction to a flame threatening to walk away. "Little Black Book" is a fun little song that reminds me of Belinda's earlier solo recordings. "Love Revolution" features Belinda's huskier singing voice and possesses an infectious tempo. As usual, Belinda concludes the album with a truly superb song. "Loneliness Game" is a song for everyone, really, because everyone experiences loneliness, even the people who seem to have the world in the palm of their hands.
There is no bad song on the album, but a few tracks don't particularly stand out like the others. The music itself has a good bit of variety, as Belinda continued to mature and expand her musical repertoire, so the flow between one song and the next is a little choppy at a couple of places. All in all, though, this is yet another wonderful, underappreciated album from this great and talented singer. The music and style may change from one album to the next, but the unique, passionate voice remains vintage Belinda Carlisle.

Live Your Life Be Free is one of Belinda's best efforts, as consistently good as Runaway Horses (her best overall album), and the high point before she made the mistake of trying to diversify her sound too much with 'Real'. The first track (made it to 12 in the UK) is a catchy up-tempo number which very much sets the scene for the whole album. Do You Feel Like I Feel and You're Nothing Without Me should be played loud and often! However, she does slow it down at points, most notably with 'Half The World', a beautifully crafted ballad which really manages to convey the passion behind Belinda's voice.
Emotional Highway and I Plead Insanity are 2 slow burners which after 5 listens make you realise that Hey!- they are actually really good songs- indeed, for whatever reason, Emotional Highway was the only non-single she played at a recent concert in Aylesbury. The next 2 tracks, World Of Love and Love Revolution, are a weeny bit too much like fillers, but catchy and energtic nonetheless. The final track of the album (and co-written by Belinda), Loneliness Game, is a sad, but yet again, energetic description of how it's not all a bed of roses when you've got everything-except love!
All In All, one of her finest- it's a shame she tried to split from Shipley and Nowels on her next album, which was surely the cause of her slow decline.
