STRANGERS is the third album from singer/songwriter Ed Harcourt, and continues the artist's move towards an all-inclusive pop universe. If Harcourt's tunes sound familiar, it is because he draws on everything from Tin Pan Alley to mainstream classic rock to psychedelia to the contemporary indie-rock scene, brandishing his knowledge with an aficionado's flourish. Above all, Harcourt is an accomplished tunesmith, and everything on STRANGERS--from the electric piano-driven Beatlesque pop of the title track to the shimmering acoustic textures of "The Trapdoor"--demonstrates his talent.
Whether the songs are dreamy, as on the drowsy, hurdy-gurdy vibe of "The Music Box," or impassioned, as on the dense, thunderous "The Storm Is Coming," Harcourt packs each track with tons of sonic detail. Guitars, drums, and keyboards are layered with precision to create a wash of sound that suits Harcourt's emotive voice nicely. With such pop finesse applied to rockers ("Loneliness"), dramatic ballads ("Open Book"), and chiming power-pop ("Born In the '70s"), it's easy to appreciate Harcourt's wide-ranging, consummate craftsmanship.
Japanese edition of his 2004 'Strangers' album features two bonus tracks, 'Every Night' and 'Epitaph'. 14 tracks in total. EMI. 2005.Uncut (p.78) - Ranked #55 in Uncut's "Best New Albums of 2004" - "[A]n intimate collection of call-outs and confessionals."
Magnet (p.100) - "It opens with a surge of ambition, tumbling from the thundering 'The Storm Is Coming' to the steady-percolating 'Born In The '70s'....Pretty and pleasant..."

When he was recording his debut album in 2006, Chris Daughtry didn't have the time to assemble the real rock band he so desperately wanted to have, so it appeared under the band name Daughtry without featuring any of the musicians who later became part of the group. That's not the case with LEAVE THIS TOWN, Daughtry's second record: all five members are glowering on the album cover, floating like specters over an abandoned Californian street. The five rockers serve as visual evidence that Daughtry is a band, ...

| | Lisa Stansfield So Natural CD (1993)
Strangers album
$11.05
This remastering of U.K. pop diva Lisa Stansfield's 1993 hit album SO NATURAL is blessed by the ballad "Never Set Me Free" and the dance track "Too Much Love Makin.'"
After achieving minor success as the lead singer of the U.K. trio Blue Zone and providing vocals for Coldcut's dancefloor classic "People Hold On," Lisa Stansfield established herself as a solo artist with her immensely successful 1989 debut album Affection. The combination of lush, Barry White-influenced arrangements and Stansfield's soulful voice proved wildly popular, and Stansfield became one of the hottest new international artists of the late '80s. Unfortunately, Stansfield's popularity slipped a bit with the follow-up, 1991's Real Love, but the album was still a respectable seller. So Natural, from 1993, failed to reestablish Stansfield as a major commercial force, but since the album was never released in the U.S., it's easy to understand why. Though So Natural pales in comparison to Affection and even Real Love, it certainly isn't bad, and the lack of an American release remains a mystery.
Stansfield almost abandons the R&B-flavored dance-pop of her debut with So Natural. The album is definitely consistent, but the ballad-heavy approach wears thin. So Natural also lacks a surefire hit single, like Affection's "All Around the World" and "This Is the Right Time" or Real Love's "Change." But So Natural still offers ...

"This seemingly menacing track is a pure pop confection with a frothy synth arrangement and Nixey's totally irresistible disco chic vocals in proper Queen's English...Get ready for Sarah Nixey. A stylish pop force to be reckoned with." arjanwrites.comSarah Nixey is best known as the singer in Black Box Recorder. Whilst working as a backing vocalist for the folk band Balloon, Nixey stumbled upon the reprobates John Moore (ex Jesus & Mary Chain drummer) and Luke Haines (ex The Auteurs frontman), also in the bands line up at that time. Moore and Haines approached Nixey with an idea for a band, writing a letter promising to make her famous. Given their lack of previous chart success, Nixey was amused and immediately took up their offer.The enigmatic three piece appeared at the start of 1998 and have released four massively acclaimed albums to date. Their debut, brutish and bleak, England Made Me spawned the single Child Psychology, ...
