Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This 2000 issue of Gabrielle's Rise includes two bonus tracks and four multi-media videos on top of the great songs which made the original a hit one year before.

Gabrielle's career has demonstrated a remarkable longevity considering that after 1993s all-conquering "Dreams", she's seemed to cater for the few but the fickle city bohemians that have just discovered Massive Attack as "the next happening thing". It's not hard to see why, though, because Rise is ultra-slick, impeccably-produced soul-lite. What might come as a surprise is that in its own way, it's actually very good. A largely weepy album, much of Rise deals with the emotional fallout of a failed love-affair, but through its tears, songs like "Over You" and "When a Woman" offers a girls-against-the-world solace. But as a warm undercurrent, there's a parent-friendly theme to "Sunshine", dedicated to Gabrielle's son, that should see Rise lovingly working its way into a vast number of record collections. --Louis Pattison

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, 16 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Rise (Audio CD)
Well, Gabrielle has done it again! She provided us with the album 'Find your way', with the likes of 'Dreams' (brilliant song), but this album has out won them all! My favourite song, has to be 'Out of Reach', which is currently out at this present time which is also on the recent album 'Rise'. This album works because Gabrielle has included soulful tunes, which some are upbeat (e.g. 'when a woman') or just one's that you can relax to. So, you can listen to the album whatever mood your in! I hope the day will never come when Gabrielle stops making music, because the day she does music wouldn't be music without Gabrielle. So, keep on rolling out those tunes!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure excellence, 31 Jan 2001
Every music fan should have this album in their collection. It has something for everyone. It is amazing. Her voice is soulful. The songs are excellently written. Nothing but praise for the album. There isn't one song that isn't good.

5.0 out of 5 stars lyrics so true to all our lives..., 18 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This is a real mood making album from soulful ballads to up-beat cheerful numbers. The catchy When a Woman is a real 'drive time' sing along song. Gabrielle's lyrics are as true to life as ever. Everyone can identify an experience of their own that these songs could've been written about! If you haven't heard it, go out and buy it !
