Shaznay Lewis - Miracle/Kiss of Life + Pages (album 2)

Her best solo work to date if I’m honest. Also “Kiss Of Life” has more than a passing resemblance to this epic bop from Will Young

 
Kiss of Life is just sublime,isn't it. Miracle is more of a euphoric show stopper but they both are very All Saints.

Going to see her at the Jazz Café in May :disco:
 
Kiss of Life c-listed on Radio 2! Hopefully it'll climb up to b-list at least, though I do prefer Miracle (but both are amazingly good, so does it matter?).
 
I’ve had a few listens to both tracks and really enjoyed them much more than I expected to be honest, the album should be excellent if she can maintain the standard.

The intro to ‘Miracle’ sounds like hold music from yesteryear to my brain. Also is the backing track to Kiss Of Life reminding me of I Can’t Stand The Rain (Tina version) or something else?

They are just superb and I have to stop thinking how much they would be enhanced by a Mel verse or a QUEEN NAT Ad-lib and just enjoy them for what they are as that's not fair on her, she's a superbly talented songwriter

The shade towards poor Nicole.
 
I was thinking if she may get Mel Blatt or some other guests at her gig at the Jazz Cafe in May...I think we will definitely be getting QUEEN SHOLA :disco:

I really like this on first listen...everything has been sublime so far. Yes there's a lot going on in this track but thats a nice change after the first two. The chorus is once again typical All Saints but with the guest vocalists and instrumentals...I could see this on STUDIO 1!
 
Not a fan, mostly for personal reasons. I generally dislike that ravey UK jungle drum and bass production because I find it noisy, but especially when someone tries to put vocals over it. Regardless, there's definitely too much going on.
 
It does sound like an All Saints song, but one of the rubbish K-Gee produced ones you had to sit through in between the good stuff.
 
I agree that this could almost have come from the Studio 1 era.

I see it has a mixed reaction on here but I think it is attention grabbing. I wonder whether it would have made a better lead.
 
ooh I've not listened to this yet but saved it promptly after scanning new music friday yesterday.

Seeing her on 14th May at the Jazz Café. She's bound to bring out SHOLA AMA but I want Mel Blatt too!
 
Got to Let Go is very her. I love her voice.

But why does the bridge remind me of the one from Unwritten by Natasha Beddingfield?
 
Got to Let Go is really cute. definitely the next best after Kiss of Life.
 
OK on a quick first listen this album is AMAZING. The only song I didn't care for (apart from the Shola Ama one which I still don't really like) was the last one, which sounds a bit too much and like something she is supposed to be doing (bit edgy, bit noisy) but the rest of the album is just wall to wall pop anthems, everything sounds anthemic and BIG. Majorly impressed.

 
I haven't heard the rest yet but Missiles and Pick You Up are... sensational
 
Beverley Knight would slay Supposed to Be. it almost sounds written for her. another bop.
 
Had a listen this afternoon and loving it. was helped by the great gig at Jazz Cafe last week so some were familiar. Apart from Miracle and Kiss of Life I am loving Missiles, Supposed to Be, and Got to let Go on first listenage.
