5.0 out of 5 stars Toyah at her most powerful!, 19 Jul 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Prostitute (Audio CD)
This is unlike any Toyah album you may have heard. Produced in a basic, harsh minimalist music style this is Toyah at her most personal. The songs reflect her feelings on being a woman, of the role of women in society, the role of marriage and how women can be easily 'sold' in many forms, hence the title.

Stand-out tracks are "Falling to Earth", "Jazz Singers in the Trees" and "Ghosts in th Universe"

Definately worth a look- and Toyah fans will be very used to her constant changes of style anyway!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Toyah - vital and incredible as ever, 29 May 2003
By D. A. Williams "http://myspace.com/freemarket... (Doncaster, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A revitalisation for Toyah with the edgiest music she's made for many years. Not as revolutionary as earlier music but just as exciting. It's a little disappointing that this only features 3 more tracks than the Little Tears of Love E.P. but is an essential purchase for anyone who already has that anyway. Perhaps it could be said that the newer tracks don't quite have the sparkle of the 4 tracks on the previous E.P. but they are still something quite unexpected from a woman in her mid 40s. Toyah is in great voice and sounds as enthusiastic as ever proving she's still got something to add to the current music scene. Overal Velvet Lined Shell is brilliantly produced and could do well if actually got played on radio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toyah delivers a stunning manifesto, 22 Feb 2004
This review is from: Prostitute (Audio CD)
Musically, this album is quite atypical of Toyah. Here, music is secondary to her desire to express her anger at the way she was being treated by her record company, her management, her banker, and many of the other people whom she dealt with professionally after her marriage to guitarist Robert Fripp. Suddenly all these professionals started asking her husband about her career rather than dealing with her directly. Toyah felt that she was no longer viewed as a person, but rather as property. Toyah's musical partner on this CD is the fabulous drummer Steve Sidelnyk who does for Toyah what Matt Chamberlain did for Tori Amos on her From The Choirgirl Hotel CD, injecting new life and power into her sound and providing perfect complement for her lyrics. As a basis of comparison, this album has a Laurie Anderson feel to it.
