The Album That Made Sheena A R&B Dance Artist! December 28, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I received this album for christmas and from the moment I put in my player, I loved it. I am a Sheena fan, however, and had heard "The Lover In Me", "Days Like This", "101", "No Deposit, No Return", and "Follow My Rainbow". Those songs were all released somewhere in the world as singles. Anyway, this is a great album, and here is a synopsis track by track to guide you (to the add to shopping cart button).
1. "No Deposit, No Return"-This was a song released as a single in the U.S. It did not chart on any chart. It is somewhat a weaker track than others, but it's still enjoyable. The beat is very good also.
2. "The Lover In Me"-This is definitely the most memorable song from this album. It reached number 2 on the Billboard Pop Charts. This is also the song that persuaded me to listen to her later dance material. It's just a great song.
3. "Follow My Rainbow"-This is an outstanding ballad written solely by a big name on this album, Babyface. This was released as a single only in Germany. It did not chart anywhere according to sources. The part that is so great about this ballad is that it is something you would find on a dance album. The R&B ballads really fits into the puzzle here.
4. "Without You"-This is a mid-tempo song that is another R&B song that works great on this album. I just love the flute solo starting at about 3:26. This probably should have been a single.
5. "If It's Meant To Last"-It was mentioned in the booklet that this song was produced by a previous co-worker of Madonna. That's interesting. It has a very catchy chorus with a fitting key change after the bridge. This is another great track.
6. "Days Like This"-This was the second single released in the U.S. It charted at 36 on the R&B chart. The beat here is great and the fresh R&B sound definitely shines here.
7. "One Love"-Feel the beat here! There is definitely single potential on this track. The pounding synths fit with this track very well. The beat here is strong is a danceable. This is also one of many tracks on this album that try to project Sheena's new image.
8. "101"-This could possibly be the best track on this album. A dance remix of this track charted at number 2 on the dance charts. That is also the remix included on this album. Prince wrote this song as Joey Coco and we all know Prince + Sheena=Good Music!
9. "Cool Love"-This track was written by Prince also. This is a bit of a weaker track in my opinion. It is still a pretty catchy R&B song.
10. "Fire And Rain"-This is a nice song to end an R&B dance album. It's a nice moderate mid-tempo ballad.
So, as you can see, "The Lover In Me" is the CD to get! The new sound of R&B dance was clearly for Sheena Easton. As to the remixes, the best one is the dance remix of "101". It's nice to have that on this CD because that is the version that charted on the dance charts. So, stop thinking about it and just buy the CD!
Finally a REISSUE....though not NEW to CD November 4, 2006

A great late 80's dance/pop/r&b album from the vastly underrated Sheena Easton. Contrary to the editorial review this is not the first release of the album on CD (what the hell? Do they actually think major labels weren't releasing their albums on CD in 1988?), but this release does include 4 alternate mixes (unfortunately none of them new to most collectors; and even the remixes were issued on CD-singles and promo CD's back in '88 & '89!). It would have been great if they had included an unreleased track or new remix maybe.
Grab it while you can because Sheena CD releases often disappear before you know it. Just ask those looking for either release of "Todo Me Recuerda A Ti" on CD!
Reissue of a great cd October 12, 2008

Sheena Easton is a great talent with great versatility and awesome vocals. This set was from the 80's when her popularity was lessening. One listen to this and you will wonder why for this is an amzing set. Music at that time was trendy but she managed to create a cohesive set of quality dance tracks, r@b and ballads. All the songs have true substance and utilize her amazing range so the recording remains timeless.
The hit of course was the title track THE LOVER IN ME but there are many standouts here. NO DEPOSIT, NO RETURN is a very catchy uptempo number, FOLLOW MY RAINBOW is a beautiful ballad and DAYS LIKE THIS and FIRE AND RAIN are great r@b tracks. The best song here though is 101 where Sheena gives one of her best performances. The song is intense, sensual and uses all her talents.
The remastering here is excellent and provides great sound quality. There are also 4 bonus tracks of dance remixes. This cd is a must for all Sheena Easton fans. I wish all her albums would be reissued with the sound quality here.
Great.... March 19, 2007

I have always admired Sheena Easton, but her performance on the series Miami Vice was wonderful. If you haven't seen the series rent the DVD and watch her in the 5 episodes. The music in this CD is far above my expectations. Get it if you can. Beckie Huber
 nice to have a reissue, but what a mess up with some of the bonus tracks May 17, 2007
Some of Sheena's other CD reissues have done right with the bonus tracks (for instance, both the extended and dub mixes from the original 12" of Telefone on "Best Kept Secret"), but here, we get wasted space with 7" versions of 2 of the tracks. Both "Days Like This" and "No Deposit No Return" were available in extended remixes, and THOSE mixes should have been on here instead of radio edits! As for "The Lover In Me" dub, of course the actual extended version should have been on here. On the bright side, I'd consider this 'dub' an ALTERNATE extended mix because it is actually not a traditional dub---it has all the vocals!
