5.0 out of 5 stars Twiggy is a Great Singer 18 Aug 2003
Format:Audio CD
Twiggy's compilation of her eighties recordings is a welcome return to pop music. While Twiggy has been a fine singer, this CD shows an increased power and range in her voice that is mesmerizing. Twiggy sings with sincerity and feeling and she is a gifted interpreter of songs. Included are several 60s tracks that Twiggy makes her own which is a true sign of artistry.
"Will You Love Me Tomorrow", "The First Cut Is the Deepest", and a haunting rendition of "End Of the World" are highlights of this album. She also sings an amazingly beautiful duet with Leo Sayer: "Save the Last Dance For Me".
Several new songs showcase that Twiggy is an excellent singer. "Stay" is the perfect opening number with an audible Carly Simon on back-up. Several uptempo songs display Twiggy's capability to perform various genres. "Diamond", "Nervous Tension", "Johnny and Mary" would still be dance hits today. Heartfelt ballads like "I Can't Talk to You" and the sumptuously beautiful "Midnight Blue" round off this wonderful CD. I am in love with this album! Why Twiggy's recordings in the UK have not been released and promoted perplexes me. She is too good to be overlooked. Find out for yourself and order "Midnight Blue" today. I don't easily give an album ***** but this compilation truly deserves a high rating and Twiggy truly deserves recognition as one of England's finest singers. You can find out yourself by purchasing "Midnight Blue". I find it hard not to play it again and again. Twiggy is that good and this album proves it once and for all. She is a great singer and an interpreter of songs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic new album from Twiggy 13 July 2003
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Twiggy's voice soars on this new twenty track collection. This land mark release sees the debut of 17 unreleased tracks. These hidden treasures are given a new lease of life on this stunning album. Included are 9 selections from Twiggy's unreleased 1989 album 'Then He Kissed Me'. A personal favourite of Twiggy's is 'The First Cut Is The Deepest' which she makes her own. Then we move on to some quite amazing mid 80s dance tracks and ballads. The stand out track here has to be 'Nervous Tension'. This amazing collaboration with producer Charlie Skarbek is nothing less than brilliant. Also from the same sessions is 'Hiding From The Eyes Of Love' an emotive ballad with a great saxophone accompliament.
Finally there is the title track 'Midnight Blue'. Twiggy really displays her range and strong vocals on this track as her voice soars over Beethoven's 'Pathetique' melody.
This album is proof to the music world that Twiggy should be taken seriously as a singer, whether she's performing Gershwin and Noel Coward or catchy pop gems. Bravo Twiggy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Twiggy's got talent! 11 July 2007
Format:Audio CD
Twiggy is one of those few people that is best known as something else, in her case a model, that turns their hand to singing, and can do it well.

Her renditions of 'First Cut Is The Deepest' and 'Ruby Tuesday' will tug at your heartstrings. These two songs were part of an unreleased album of 1960s covers that Twiggy recorded but was shelved, as were many of the other tracks on this CD. 'Midnight Blue' is therefore sort of a 'best of what never was'.

Standout tracks include two Twiggy originals, 'Feel Emotion' and 'Diamond' were both released as singles in the 1980s but failed to make the charts. That is a real shame as both songs had great potential, both were good examples of beautiful pop music with nice lyrics.

You can't argue with Twiggy's vocals, she did have a top twenty hit in the 1970s as well as two bestselling albums, but the iconic model with the good voice deserved to have continuing musical success.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant easy listening pop music 10 Mar 2010
By Peter Durward Harris #1 HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Recorded between 1982 and 1990, all of these tracks are making their debut on CD; indeed, I don't think any of them have been released previously at all. Twiggy co-operated fully in this release, selecting the tracks and writing the liner notes. Some of the tracks were intended for release on an album of sixties covers provisionally titled Then he kissed me, but Twiggy didn't include the title track among the selections here. I wonder if there is enough material for a second volume; I`d like to hear Twiggy`s version of that song.. Another song that isn't here is Mistletoe and wine, which Twiggy performed on TV but I don't think she actually recorded it. Following her TV performance, the songwriters offered the song to Cliff Richard and the rest is history. Even without those two songs, there is plenty of great music here.

When covering other people's songs, Twiggy manages to give them a distinctive touch while still keeping them recognizable to those familiar with the originals. This is especially the case on the sixties classics including Baby I love you, First cut is the deepest, Ruby Tuesday, Sweet talking guy, Will you still love me tomorrow, Be my baby, Needles and pins and Save the last dance for me (here recorded as a duet with Leo Sayer). I noticed that most of these songs are from the early sixties and I wonder if Twiggy prefers this period, or if these song simply suit Twiggy's voice and style better than songs from later in the sixties. In her notes, Twiggy says that she and her producer spent plenty of time listening to sixties music and considering which songs to record.

Twiggy says she has always been passionate about country and pop music, though country music is only represented by two songs here. Twiggy sings End of the world with very sparse musical backing.
