Lisa Stansfield "The Moment" Album Review

This Is Stansfield's Moment to Shine and She Works It!
The last production I bought by Lisa Stansfield was "Face Up" which I felt was a mixed bag of catchy funk and soul numbers with an equal amount of lackluster vocals and melodies. "Face Up" was mediocre compared to "Real Love" or her third album-I can't recall the title-it may have been simply "Lisa Stansfield." (also LOVED the remix cd with that awesome Hex Hector version of "I'm Leavin'")

On the Trevor Horn production of "The Moment," our sistah Lisa is back and better than ever!! No, the disco influences and funk may be missing a bit but the touching ballads and pop magic that exist in these 11 songs make up for lost time. Unlike other albums and singles that Horn has produced for artists like Seal, the ABC Band and Cher, (to name but a few)Stansfield's powerfully pure vocals get put up front where they belong, avoiding the "Horn-like" echo and oveamplified sound of his usual style.

STANDOUTS-
Treat Me Like a A Woman (cool and dramatic-Lisa works it!)
When Love Breaks Down (my second favorite song on the cd)
Say It to Me Now (power ballad with sincere drama and heart)
The Moment (another touching slow number)
If I Hadn't Got You (My favorite song on the cd)
Love Without a Name (true and honest as our all the songs here)
Takes a Woman to Know (if this isn't a funky song I don't know what is!)

Buy it-you won't be sorry you did!
