It is unfortunate because the album is quite engaging, and had it received the proper promotion, it may have even registered a hit single or two in America. This is sophisticated, mellow British soul-pop, somewhat akin to Simply Red. The songs are pleasant, but none really stand out as instant hits, although her Bob Dylan-inspired \"Rise\" became a huge European smash. The album has a subtle 1960s feel to it, especially on \"When a Woman\" and \"Falling,\" which recalls Supremes-era soul-pop. For the most part, though, the songs register between slow to mid-tempo, save for a brief moment of funk on the tune \"5 O'Clock.\" Standout cuts include the ballad \"Should I Stay,\" which, of all the gems on this set, seems the most hitworthy. \"Only You\" has a lush, beautiful string section, and the album's opener, \"Sunshine,\" flows with an interesting groove. A good album, and surely deserving of more attention than what it received in the United States, especially considering the following she garnered with her first (and only) stateside hit, \"Dreams.\" ~ Jose F.
