Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Discounting 2000's compilation of rarities and live tracks, Dream Soldier is Des'ree's first album in over four years. As always, she's aware of people's need for her soothing brand of easy R&B and big-sisterly wisdom. "Sometimes love don't conquer everything, we're living in a world so full of hate," she sings on the uncharacteristically plaintive "Human", before counselling in the worldly wise way that only Des'ree can, "sometimes all you need is a little faith." For such a simple song, with the most basic of love-thy-neighbour messages, it's amazingly affecting. Such is the power of Des'ree's calm yet unerring voice.

Back in her regular role of putting mundane trials and tribulations into perspective, the bright and breezy coffee-table soul of "It's Okay" and "Why" could flood-light the darkest of days as she imparts her philosophies on life with reassuring grace, serenity and, in the case of "Fate", an effortless gospel quiver. Admittedly, with nothing to match her previous best "You Gotta Be" and "Life", Dream Soldier won't exactly change the world; it'll just make it a damn sight easier to bear. --Dan Gennoe

CD Description
'Dream Soldier' is the fifth album of R&B-tinged pop for London-born solo artist, Des'ree. It follows 2000's 'Endangered Species', a compilation of rare tracks. The single, 'It's OK', is included here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Des'ree's strongest material to date, 1 Sep 2004
By A Customer
Unfortunately soon after this albums release, Des'ree was dropped by Sony. I find it awful that an artist such as her is dropped by a company who are the main reason her album didn't sell - no promotion!
Thankfully Des'ree can find some comfort in the fact that she produced one of her best albums to date and certainly some of her strongest material.
Tracks such as 'Righteous Night' and 'Nothing To Lose' hit something deep inside of you that goes further than just good music. Other favourites include 'Why' and the brilliantly upbeat 'It's Okay' although I don't favour the Stargate Radio Edit very much, thankfully that is tagged on as an album bonus.
All in all this album is more consistant that 'Supernatural' and showcases Des'ree's true talents.
One can only hope that she will continue to release music either with another label or independently.

4.0 out of 5 stars Des'ree-Dream Soldier, 29 Mar 2003
By A Customer
I think that this is a great return from Des'ree. I really liked her previous albums Supernatural and I Ain't Movin', but i think she may have left it a bit too late with hardly no promotion of her single it's Ok and a break of four years. But this album was really worth the wait.
