I'm amazed we got so many youtube clips of Olga promoting herself around this time in Brazil, what a treat. Bit of a shame there were not the same kind of performances of Angel on Italian TV though. Whilst the songs are now weaker than the first album and the 4 songs on the 2nd that were dance, she's given us a few decent ones along the way to be sure. I'd love her to do the UK Celebrity Big Brother, she's clearly full of charisma.Diva Incarnatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089187811407820313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576651067383611290.post-53275238956022508652014-09-30T13:48:02.665+01:002014-09-30T13:48:02.665+01:00Er...

The amount of time you spent trying to make yourself feel better about your life by trying to break down one of the few women who have climbed from the literal bottom of society. This woman has done more with her life than any of us can expect or hope to accomplish. While you sit in your cozy chair at your computer, with absolutely no experience in music making or what people truly want-this woman is out there being the best she can be and helping others to do the same. Just because one single person who's brave behind a computer screen doesn't have good taste in music, does not mean Cher's music isn't masterful.

Although Red, Sirens, TILAM and My Love had been demanding most of my attention, and only recently have I gone back to it.<br /><br />So glad I was able to get across how Sirens makes me feel. It's her richest listening experience since I became most entranced by her in the first placer - It's A Man's World (although Love Hurts and the UK Greatest Hits package from 1992 were lapped up at the time at a younger age).Diva Incarnatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089187811407820313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576651067383611290.post-38725821408380097112013-11-17T02:02:32.945+00:002013-11-17T02:02:32.945+00:00And a "BRAVO" from me as wel1!

I instantly got hooked on all the standard hit. Next came Super Trouper, which had a enough fast tracks to keep me interested. When The Visitors came out, I hated it. Something had changed, that I coudn't identify at the time. But after listening to it for about a week, it clicked...I loved it. Looking back, I think it was the maturity of the lyrics, along with a break away from the cheeryd happy sound. The title track has such a build up to the chorus....it explodes. Synthesizers and drum symbols clanging, and in the end, all the vocals and backing vocals coming together making for a powerful song. It's a shame theyh did not release this song as a single. It was different enough for the time, but still had the characteristics we recognized as ABBA. I think the weakest song on the album was Two For The Price Of One. It' s too dainty...but you see the developing of Bjorns story telling in his lyrics. It told a story. The last song Like An Angel was the first song they recorded digitally I think I remember reading. Vocals are great as is the symplicity of the instruments. Perhaps though the digital recording techniques the were using made this song sond very brittle though. But after hearing alternate studio versions they tried out, perhaps it was the best they could come up with. All in all though, this is ABBA's best album critically. It would have been a perfect transition into the 80s for the group had they stayed together.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576651067383611290.post-77182110932986864242013-05-24T05:32:13.563+01:002013-05-24T05:32:13.563+01:00KYM SIMS is back & is currenlty working with 4...KYM SIMS is back & is currenlty working with 4 time Grammy Award winner/producer Maurice Joshua.

I think the European cover presents Cher looking uber glam of course, but the pose is both passive and androgynous. I think she was hugely intriguing to me in this regard. Loved the album right away, it's very tuneful and more pop than the previous two that's for sure (maybe it was a European sensibility after all? who knows...).<br /><br />I've not been Cherring of late, but I'll get back on track soon. It's A Man's World next, then The Dance Years including a small interruption of sorts.

I actually forgot to include some personal information with regards to the album: it was the very first album I ever bought! So, when I got to buy it perhaps this was some time after the initial release.<br /><br />I'm impressed with such a tactic from a marketing point of view - way ahead of the re-release craze of today as usual (although she'd better not do this with the new disc).<br /><br />With Shoop Shoop, to me it just sounds like a straight-forward pop rock song with the obvious pastiche quality (that she'd done on all her solo 80s albums) from being a 60s cover, so I don't find it jarring, but can totally see where you are coming from.Diva Incarnatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089187811407820313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576651067383611290.post-82661102693094567482013-03-31T19:46:30.289+01:002013-03-31T19:46:30.289+01:00I think LOVE HURTS is her best Geffen album, and I...I think LOVE HURTS is her best Geffen album, and I love all the songs on it. And, of course, the limited-edition Wooden Box version is to die for! I wish it had been a bigger hit here in the US, but I'm glad it was pretty huge everywhere else... While including "Shoop Shoop" on the non-US versions was a very smart decision, I am glad they didn't put it on the US one because it just does not "fit" with the rest of the album at all. (Just like how "After All" didn't really fit on HOS, but even worse...)<br /><br />You wrote that the Euro pressings had an "alternative" cover. The original "gothic" cover was used on first pressings worldwide; however, in most countries besides the US, the album sold so well right away, they all got the second pressing pretty quickly. Here in the US, it was the opposite and it took forever to find a "red wig" cover.<br /><br />Major kudos for three great reviews of her Geffen era albums, and I will now forever always think of "Baywatch" whenever I hear "One Small Step".
