Review
Inoffensive, pretty and polished sum up former S Club singerJo O Meara's solo debut. The outer sleeve suggests she has grown up from her S Club days; the thoughtful gaze, garbed in black with a hint of cleavage: a pretty clear indicator of the Radio 2-style market she's aiming for.
The album is slick, well constructed and safer than a bet on black still being in fashion this time next year. "What Hurts The Most", the standout track, shows Jo to be an assured vocalist, though one or two of the weaker tracks, like "Never Felt Like This", could have benefited from more emotional content. However that doesn't detract from this being a fairly decent debut; far better than certain other ex boy and girl band members.
Jo has a talented strong voice and sex appeal, and with a busy team of writers behind her she should have no problem selling this album through Christmas and beyond. --James Blake

Product Description
Jo O'Meara is one of the unmistakable voices of the pop phenomenon S Club. Relentless is her debut solo album. At the start of 2005, Jo felt refreshed and inspired enough to get back into the studio to start work on her solo album. She teamed up with Brian Rawling, the UK's most successful producer, and the creative force behind countless hits. In fact he's the only producer in the country who can boast six US Number Ones. Jo's solo material is a soulful blend of different styles and showcases her undeniable gift as a vocalist to mesmerising effect. And, with S Club disbanding at the peak of their career, Jo is in an enviable position at the launch of her solo record, and will capture many fans of old, alongside a broader audience that will be drawn to her more mature sound and outlook.

I was really amazed with this album from Jo O'Meara. It has some really beautiful tracks, each and every track showing off Jo's vocal ability. She has a truly amazing voice and it's a shame her album is so under-rated. I thought it would do a lot better in the charts than it actually did. This is the girl who put the successful S Club 7 together, and is now ready to prove how talented she really is. Jo O'Meara is a lot different from Rachel Stevens, they are aiming for different sounds. If Rachel can be so successful then why can't Jo? It's a shame so many artists in the record industry are under-rated, because most are really talented. If you are in love, or hurting from a relationship then I suggest you buying this album because it helps you understand love. I was not disapointed with this album, and hope people give her a chance. I do not often give albums five stars, but this truly deserves it. Buy the album and support the amazing Jo O'Meara - she deserves a chance as a solo artist.

Wow! What can I say, this woman is amazing. She is the only really talented star from S Club, and that shows on this album. There are only 3 upbeat tracks - these are quite good. However, the rest of the album is all ballads, and this is where Jo shines. The power and emotion of her voice comes through with every song. It contains the single What Hurts the Most, and her upcoming single Relentless. If you are a fan of S Club or not - get this album, it is worth the money and you will not be dissapointed. If this album is anything to go by - Jo O'Meara is here to stay. 100% satisfaction guaranteed!!

Jo O'Meara broke back into the scene last year with this strong, and similarily strongly underplayed album. Very, very, very good.
I'm not really a ballad boy, I prefer the good old dance track. When my sister bought this I didn't really know what to think, mainly "wha you doin?", but then i walked past her room, and some of the stuff is really poignant. The songs are all so well written, really really touching, each of them.
Jo's voice was always the strong one of S Club, her voice truly shines on this, really really does sound uber fantastic. Sadly, I don't think the company let her release the planned second single, "Relentless" due to poor album sales. This is a true shame as this album is just beautiful. something to be completley proud of, and i am proud to love listening to this stuff!!!
nice one jo, keep going!

Promising but poorly sequenced
After taking a couple of years out 'the one out of S Club 7 who can sing' has returned with a surprisingly grown up album of (largely) mainstream ballads. Read more
