Tina Cousins - Pray

[auretz]

Is this not one of the best songs of all time?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Anyway I love it but I prefer Killing Time by the Queen.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Queen TEEN looking on point in her LBD at a recent PA in Oz (recent as in 5 years ago)

 

[Kratz]

It’s amazing and should have been HUGE.

Let’s just PRAY Tina forgives us for the stupid things we’ve done.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I know didn’t it peak at something ridiculous like number 20 when it should have been top 5 for weeks and weeks.

 

[Halli]

This is good but not great, I remember being so excited cos I thought TEEN CUZ was going to get a big fat hit and was disappointing when it 'only' made #20.

Killin Time is the track of choice

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh I do hope she's okay.

 

[FetchFugly]

T went hard with the singles from this album. This is outstanding but Forever is the cream of the crop.

 

[aquaplex]

Angel is a serious case of annoyingly early fade out. It starts as soon as the final chorus starts

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Let's not forget Queen T's very own Justify My Love a few years ago.

I can rely on my GOOD FRIEND FETCH to bring the goods- FOREVER is where it’s at, but all the singles were close.

 

[ButterTart]

This was amazing but could have done with a chunkier mix and played up the whole opera thing even more.

I've still given it 11/10, mind.

 

[VoR]

Decent, but Killing Time is 100% her best song.

 

[straightorbroken]

Hymn from her is my fave Tina.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Tens across the board!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Do we know why her album (inexplicably?) bombed and also, does anyone have it? I imagine physical copies would be hard to come by these days.
Might pop it on if it's on Spotify.

 

[Sheena]

I have both her albums. The problem really is that there wasn't much beyond the singles, which were all dance hits but little else (she never broached the top ten solo).

The first album is relatively rare but you can get a copy for a fiver on Discogs, the second (Australia-only?) album is a lot rarer and probably goes for £15-£20ish.

 

[auretz]

Despite being a huge Tina fan (my first ever online username back in '00 was tinacousinsfan ) I never realised that the single release of Nothing To Fear in Australia was a weird remix:



I find the first album a lot stronger than the second, but "Queen Of The World" from the second is a highlight.

 

[Sheena]

And let's not forget OUR TEEN was CRUELLY ROBBED after demoing the original of this, which would have at LEAST made #54 for her.

 

[auretz]

Plus the comeback single that never was:

And getting down and dirty in the dunes with a Pretty Young Thing:

 

[Cerro de Casa]

JUSTICE 4 R QUEEN TEEN CUZ

 

[BoysForSeles]

T went hard with the singles from this album. This is outstanding but Forever is the cream of the crop.

Cruelly DENIED a Top 40 placing when it was released but JUSTICE was served when it got upgraded to a Top 40 smash hit years later due to a data error. I blame this for her being dropped.

 

[Pipo]

I remember hunting down this version in the depths of the interwebs, I Was OBSESSED. All the many viruses my poor computer caught were worth it.

Very I Turn To You Mel C angle

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Let's do this Mopsy Teensters





And I'm just
Killin' time

*breakdown*

 

[RJN]

1. Pray (11)
2. Forever (10)
3. Killin' Time (10)

 

[AGinAg (37)]

We need a Tina Cousins and Friends SYNC

 

[Suomi]

Plus the comeback single that never was:

This is brilliant

 

[SystemAddict]

I think I wore out the Killing Time albam back in the day. Live and Breathe is quite GORGE and contains the "Soul II Soul" sound as @funky calls it.

 

[funky]

That's a bit too synthy to be like Soul II Soul but I know what you mean about the beat - I quite like that. It's a bit trippy and 90s. It reminds me of Aqua's Turn Back Time.

 

[straightorbroken]

Sweetbox could never.

 

[Devil]

It’s utterly fabulous. In fact all of her about ten singles were varying degrees of good.

Forever really ought to have been at least a #12 or something. It feels so on point with the trends of the time, it really was unfair it bombed.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Omg dying queen is back!!

 

[straightorbroken]

Karen Parry would be bricking it if her diet didn't solely consist of fags and Blue WKD.
