Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Not the same cd Amazon has listed.......2004-08-20

I love this album and Rachel, but I gave it a low rating because this is NOT the version that Amazon listed. This version of the cd does not have the Sweet Dreams My LA Ex Bimbo Jones Club Mix on it, and this it a total rip off because I bought the cd for this mix. Thinking it was a hidden track I opened it and now I am out $26.00!!! Amazon needs to update the info on their site more often and be aware of their product. Sorry for the low rating, like I said the album itself is definitly 5 stars.

3 out of 5 stars Take It From A True Fan.......2004-06-23

Take this review seriously before buying the CD. I have been a Rachel and S Club 7 fan for years. And honestly this album is very disappointing. This is a major departure from Rachel's S Club days.

1) Sweet Dreams My LA Ex: 5/5 Amazing song. I love this song.
2) Funky Dory: 5/5 I Love this too, it's got a...funky tune.
3) Fools: 3/5 I like the song, but it's not great.
4) Breathe In, Breathe Out: 5/5 A wonderful power ballad. Definetly should be a single.
5) Glide: 2/5 I don't like this song, it doesn't accent Rachel's amazing voice and the lyrics are a little dumb.
6) Heaven Has To Wait: 3/5 A very lovely song, but a very weak chorus makes it a little boring.
7) Blue Afternoon: 5/5 I love this song while I'm driving with the windows down in the Florida sun. It's very mellow and relaxing. Not usually what I like but this song is awesome. It really accents rachel's amazing voice.
8) I Got The Money: 2/5 Tries to be too R&B, but it fails.
9) Little Secret: 2/5 Tries to add a little latin flavor to the album, but it's just horrible.
10) Solid: 2/5 A song you can tell she recorded to just fill the room on the album.
11) Silk: 3/5 An OK song, definetly not the best.
12) Sweet Dreams My LA Ex (Bimbo Jones Club Mix): 4/5 A great remix!!!!!

I think her best material were her S Club tracks. The album could have been so much better. I love Rachel, and I think that if you are a hardcore fan then buy it. But if you're not that big on her or wondering whether you should buy the album for the songles, then you should go to her website and listen to the song clips first. Hopefully her next one will be a lot better than this one.

5 out of 5 stars Rachel Stevens Rock's!!!.......2004-03-26

This are the songs, all of this songs are amazing:

1. Sweet Dreams My L.a-Ex: An excellent song, this is my fave song in the album

2. Funky Dory: It sounds like a latin song for me, it is so cool!

3. Fools: Pretty

4. Breathe In Breathe Out: One of the best songs on the album, love it

5. Glide: This song is so rare, but it have a sound ver cool, "Oh Glide"

6. Heaven Has To Wait: A ballad song, pvery pretty and romantic!

7. Blue Afternoon: This song makes you relax

8. I Got The Money: A cool R&B song, it sounds if S Club were singing in it!

9. Little Secret: cool

10. Solid: This song is very cool!

11. Silk: The song sounds like a castle or comething like that, lol, in the middle of the song it has a very cool sound, like a horror movie

5 out of 5 stars Some great Rachel music !!!.......2004-02-28

I bought this CD as an import version from the UK through Amazon.co.uk and I must admit that I was more than surprised by its content and by Rachel's talent.

That said, if you're a big fan of S Club 7 (S Club since Seeing Double), there's a slight chance you may be disappointed. Rachel's style is much mature now than it was only a couple of years ago. She's now acting definately like the 25 years old woman she is. She's not a teen anymore.

There are 12 amazing songs on the CD, (11 original songs plus the remix of Sweet Dreams My L.A. Ex; Well, that's on the original U.K. version).

The two songs that are already released as singles in UK, Sweet Dreams My L.A. Ex and Funky Dory, are awesome songs, even though they are VERY different from each other. The next UK single, Breathe In Breathe Out is a very optimistic song and is probably the song that is the closest to any S Club material. Solid is also that kind of song that makes us remind S Club.

The song Silk is very, very sexy by its beat and the very suave voice of Rachel. The only ballad of this CD, Heaven Has To Wait, definately shows the vocal registry of Rachel which is great.
