Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The diminutive lead singer of M People has released a solo album that reflects her personal odyssey, growing from shy teenager to becoming a single mother. Her self-assessment, that this collection of songs is "knowing but not self-pitying", is pretty accurate. Co-written with producers Pete Vettese and Simon Climie, they mine a philosophy of love, faith and survival. All wrapped up in radio-friendly gospel pop, complete with big choruses, generous harmonies and Small's strangely operatic voice, it is like 12 versions of "Search For The Hero Inside Yourself". In places the mix is strained and overwrought, with clicheacute;d lines like: "we can't hold back the hands of time". But elsewhere, her delivery is softer and more focused, resulting in the Stevie Wonder-ish "Don't Look For Love", and the compelling ballad "Don't Change A Thing". --Lucy O'Brien

4.0 out of 5 stars one of the best, 4 Dec 2005
By A Customer
Great album. Worth buying this cd whether you are a fan of M People or not. I got this album after seeing M People recently on tour and thought I wonder what else Heather Small has done?Well, this is it and it certainly does her proud. This album is not as vibrant and lively as M People's albums usually are but it certainly highlight the great vocal range and uniqueness of Heather's voice. Here's hoping we don't wait too long for another recording by her.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most distinctive female singing voice around today, 30 May 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Proud (Audio CD)
Well, it's been rather a long wait to hear Heather sing again and she doesn't disappoint. "Proud" is a great single to show off her talents. I'm hoping she comes with more 'music for my ears' soon
