| | Sheena Easton Lover In Me CD Sheena Easton Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the Scottish diva's 1988 album now including four bonus tracks. The Lover In Me was Sheena's eigtth studio album and was produced by Babyface and LA Reid. With her squeaky clean image wiped away by her 1984 hit, 'Sugar Walls', Sheena was able to continue her tranformation into a sultry R&B sex kitten on The Lover In Me, gaining a whole new audience. The album has a slightly harder urban edge than anything she had recorded up to this point, but still retains melody and charm. You can take the girl away from her Scottish roots, but you can't take the Scottish roots away from the girl! Includes '101' and 'Cool Love' (written by Prince) plus four bonus tracks featuring 'The Lover In Me' (Extended Version) and 'Days Like This' ( 7" Version). Cherry Pop. 2009.
Sheena Easton bounced back from her unattractive 1987 split from EMI with her most decidedly urban set to date. Enlisting the help of R&B production heavyweights L.A. Reid and Babyface -- as well as Angela Winbush, Jellybean and Prince, she came out with a youthful and trend-savvy offering that has some fun moments, but overall is too formulaic to really say much. The snazzy L.A. and Babyface number "The Lover in Me" (number two pop, number five R&B) is one of the album's most solid, memorable moments, but it soon becomes hard to distinguish from "Days Like This," "No Deposit, No Return" and "One Love" -- three other selections produced by the duo. Easton was apparently becoming more of a producer's puppet than she planned early in her career, as further evidenced by the synthetic "Without You," which is too low in the singer's range to be effective to start with. Luckily, a few saving moments do surface: the Winbush-produced "Fire and Rain," a calming quiet storm ballad that allows Easton to showcase a more vulnerable side of her voice; and the Prince-penned "101," a subtly haunting, understated dance romp with what is one of the singer's most passionate, revealing performances on record. Otherwise, this is a fun record, but a bit too monotonous. ~ Justin M. Kantor
Producers: Prince, L.A. and Babyface, Angela Winbush and Jellybean Benitez.
Lover In Me Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   overlooked late 80's hits
"No Deposit,No Return"and"The Lover In Me"are the better tracks on this set.The remix/radio versions included at the end of the cd for those two songs are a nice touch.But the real gem here is"Follow My Rainbow"which could have easily been released as another single.It's one of those stand alone power ballads and she delivers it with ease.The overall production and sound of the cd is very slick and reminds me of work done by Karyn White.For 80's fans,this cd is definitely worth a listen.

 Sheena Easton! Pop Icon
The Lover in me was a new beginning for Sheena Easton. It was a transformation of sound and image and she pulled it off completely with this disc.
I remember seeing the video for "The Lover in Me" and thinking Sheena is not sweet and innocent any longer. Now she was grown and sexy. I consider that growth for an artist.
Singles:
The Lover In Me, Days Like This, 101, and No Deposit, No Return.
The disc has a early urban R&B sound and still holds up today. This is remastered and you can hear the difference in the sound. Crisp!
The bonus's are the remixes of the singles which brings another version of the songs to the listener. Just check it out for yourself ,and just enjoy.
Peace,
Sanatino

Great underrated dance/pop album!
This cd rivals Paula Abdul, Janet Jackson and even Madonna! This was so fresh in 1988 and now even fresher remastered with bonus tracks! Sheena's got one of the best voices around and should be appreciated for her talent. This cd containes two big hit singles ("The Lover in Me" & "Days Like This") as well as Prince-penned "101" (under the alias of Johnny Coco). This is Sheena's best album, next to 'Private Heaven', her most successful album, which is curiously out of print.

MORE THAN PHYSICAL comes in a box consisting of the CD HAVE YOU NEVER BEEN MELLOW and a 150-page book: OLIVIA--MORE THAN PHYSICAL: A COLLECTOR'S GUIDE. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN MELLOW is also available separately on CD on Griffin (373-2).
This early release from singer Olivia Newton-John showcases her country-pop mode, with "Have You Ever Been Mellow," "Goodbye Again," and others showing off her refined vocal grace.
The hit single "Have You Never Been Mellow" carried Olivia Newton-John right back to number one, six months after "I Honestly Love You" brought the singer to that coveted position for the first time. The title track is a masterpiece of songwriting by her producer, John Farrar, an exquisitely pleasant melody with a sunny and peaceful theme. Having covered John ...

The lead-off single, "Inconsolable," a romantic ballad with a dramatic punch, is a case in point; as is the sweet, mid-tempo ballad "Something I Already Know." Ballads and love songs were always one of the Backstreet Boys' specialties, and UNBREAKABLE plays to that strength, with six of the album's tracks sounding tailor-made for adult contemporary radio.

| | Chumbawamba Readymades And Then Some CD (2002) Bonus DVD
Lover In Me CD music
$9.55
Chumbawamba's dalliance with the big time and novelty hit-single stardom came to an abrupt and fitting end with 2000s What You See Is What You Get. Rather than write a sequel to "Tubthumping," the famously anarchic group emptied the sack of barbs, slivers, and torn receipts acquired during their curious arc of international fame and glued them into a sticky, hooky, and cynical pop-culture mess. The record was standard operating procedure for Chumbawamba, but it spelled disaster for their deal with EMI, who had likely been hoping for "Son of Tubthumping: I Get Up Again, Again!" Well, bollocks to that. The group's major-label existence always seemed like an elaborate wool pull, anyway; its death was a perfect and expected punch line. After a hiatus, Chumbawamba has returned with Readymades (Koch), a collection of bitterly sarcastic, politically fed-up, and socially on-point modernist folk songs that rattle the brain as much with message as they do with melody. Chopped up guitar and horn samples and shuffleboard drum programming form the basis of "Jacob's Ladder," but the song unites around a timeless Harry Cox vocal sample. "And they sent him to the war to be slain," the revered English folk singer intones over the shimmering beats, and his presence aligns the song's contemporary antiwar message with a long history of protest. "After Shelley" taps the forlorn, soaring singing voice of Kate Rusby, matching it to pop-industrial flurry. Elsewhere, low-key, often lilting arrangements wrap melody around the plight of solitary people against monolithic government. And, in typical Chumbawamba fashion, they name names. "Without Reason or Rhyme (The Killing of Harry Stanley)" recounts the story of Stanley, a Scottish man killed by English police in a terrible case of mistaken identity. The track's swaying, almost balladic grace (and Joe Heaney sample) again connects Readymades to the longstanding folk tradition of the British Isles, where a beautiful melody makes a song's painful or angry lyrics that much more affecting. [This And Then Some version of the album includes a bonus DVD with excerpts from a film about the band, remixes of "Salt Fare, North Sea," and a version of "Tubthumping" performed by the Flaming Lips.] ~ Johnny Loftus
Once listeners accept that Chumbawamba got lucky ...

Lover In Me music CDs
$9.55
One of three best-of Maná compilations in the Esencials series released in 2003, Sol focuses on the band's rockers, whereas Luna focuses on their ballads and Eclipse on a distillation of both. Maná is admittedly known best for their ballads, which tended to score them their biggest hits historically, but the guys are convincing rockers as well, as showcased here on Sol. Highlights include "Oye Mi Amor," which is probably the best of Maná's earlier rockers; the song was released in 1994 on Donde Jugaran los Niños? and bares some of the band's initial resemblance to the Police as well as the influence of Soda Stereo. By and large, Maná rocked better with each album they released, however, and indeed, their most recent work here is their most appealing. "Sábanas Frías" and "Angel de Amor," both released in 2002 on Revolución de Amor, are very impressive, the former notably featuring salsa legend Rubén Blades, while the newly recorded song "Te Llevare al Cielo" is a soaring ...
