Pro Reviews: Tissues and Issues
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Whatever happened to the little girl with the voice of an angel? Well, Charlotte Church, like everyone else, grew up and decided to move from her comfort zone of angelic soprano albums in the supposed classical area (although her product had always been aimed at the pop charts), leaving behind Voice of an Angel, Charlotte Church, and Dream a Dream and entering a crowded female pop field already inhabited by the likes of Kelly Clarkson and Girls Aloud. The first two tracks, the discofunkoriented "Call My Name" and "Crazy Chick," both became Top Ten singles, with the Boy Georgecomposed ballad "Even God Can't Change the Past" and "Moodswings" not far behind. She even tried her hand at songwriting, albeit with proven successful writers as collaborators: Guy Chambers, who had worked extensively with Robbie Williams, on the pumping disco track "Let's Be Alone," the Spanishstyle ethereal ballad "Casualty of Love" (on which she got an opportunity to show that her soprano voice is still intact), and the final track, "Confessional Song"; Rob Davis on the aptly titled "Easy to Forget" (which unfortunately is not a patch on another of his songs); Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head"; and Gary Barlow on the midtempo "Easy Way Out." She sang "Don't you judge me as I leave it all behind, I was the victim" on the track "Fool No More," and one wonders if that was Church's attempt to explain the complete change of musical direction. As a little girl, she had no choice about the type of material she recorded, but here she grabbed the adult mantle with both hands, and smooth popsoul would be the future for a singer who was not such a little girl any more. - Sharon Mawer, All Music Guide |

Pros: Charlotte Has Some Powerhouse Pipes
Cons: A Far Cry From Her Classical Years
I've listened to some of these songs on her website and they are totally smokin. My favorite cuts off of this crossover recording are "Crazy Chick" and "Call My Name". My only question about this album is will there ever be a US release because I tried looking for it in every record store and all I see are her classical recordings? Please release this album in the US. This album is way better than her classical recordings.
