So which of the two perious reviews do you believe??? I'm taking the middle ground. Ok this album isn't as good as any of her pervious three if you are judging it on lyrical content and it doesn't have quite the same emotional impact on you either. But its clear Sophie has found peace with herself through her music both spiritually and the freedom of her own label. she clearly had fun making this cd and this transfers through to the listener making you go along with her ride of happiness. I recommend you buy this cd, both for fans and new recruits.

Sophie at her best 25 Jan 2006
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I love Sophie B Hawkins. Her songs are so powerful and her voice so distintive.

I have all of her albums and everyone is different. The latest has some of the most powerful songs from the 4 albums. I love every song on the Wilderness album, except the very last track! Not sure what Sophie was tinking on this one!

Wilderness is Sophies fourth album (not counting a best of collection recently issued on Columbia), and is easily her most accomplished work to date.

After a bit of a battle with Columbia she is now a freer spirit on her own Trumpet Swan label, and the positivity shines through on most of the tracks.

Beautiful Girl opens the album, and is a sunny shimmering slice of pure pop and a good benchmark for the album. 'Open up your eyes' follows, with its majestic orchestral arrangements, before toning things down a little with 'Meet me on a rooftop' has minimal orchestration, with a live acoustic sound. 'Walking on thin ice' is another orchestral epic ballad.

Elsewhere there is the sound of summer on 'Blue' and 'Surfer Girl' - the former having an almost carribean flavour. 'Angel of Darkness' is definately one of the best tracks - another epic ballad with a rich chorus and sweeping strings.

Only the last two tracks let it down a little - the wailing jazz/club singer styled 'You make me high' and 'Feelin Good', which dont really do Sophies throaty vocals justice, reducing them to just a bit too raw a sound.

Overall though, a fine piece of work that deserves to put Sophie back in the mainstream after a difficult time in music. You even get a bonus track slipped on the end which is a delicious ambient/dance mix of Soul Lover (another fine track)!
