Customer Reviews:

I will never get tired to listen to this album.......2005-12-27

I have been Sandra's fan since her first album. To tell the truth, at first I didn't like this album. It's a strange album. But then as I listened to it over and over again, I realized that "Fading Shades" is not bad at all. Moreover now I like it more than her first albums. "Fading Shades" has its own unforgettable charm that cannot be seen at once. My favorite song is "First Lullaby".

Incredibly beautiful music.......2004-03-04

Sandra has done it once again, releasing very beautiful music! It is a nice change from her earlier works from the 80's, which had mainly fast catchy dance beats and that 80's pop sound. Half the songs on Fading Shades are very soothing and mesmerizing for the soul. The other half are uptempo dance songs which unfortunately aren't that good.

The standout songs on this album are:

First Lullaby
Nights in White Satin
I Need Love '95
Will You Whisper

The background beats on these particular songs sound haunting yet dreamy. The beats have been slowed down a bit but still possess that upbeat sound. There is this dreamy atmospheric feel to all the songs. The music has that Enigma touch and feel to it as alot of her 90's work veered into that general direction. There is nothing in the U.S. that sounds like or can be compared to this wonderful music that Sandra has put out. It is definitely unique sounding!

The song "First Lullaby" is truly beauty beyond words. To me, it's the greatest song of her entire career. Overall, the music is very romantic and uplifting for the mind and spirit.

Her best album?

I like:
Nights In White Satin
I Will Not Run Away From You
Tell Me More
Will You Whisper?
My Invisible Shelter
You Are So Beautiful To Me

This CD is worth it.

For the avid fan only.......2003-04-20

This album is, well, not very good. The only reason I own a copy is because I have been a Sandra fan for so long. If your buying it for the enjoyment, try "Wheel of Time" or "Into A Secret Land" instead.

Worst album of Sandra Cretu........2002-06-17

After sensual and filigree "Close to Seven", this CD is something terrible, this one is arranged and produced by Jens Gad. There is no understanding to me about track Won't runaway that's the worst song of Sandra ever, so I don't understand about the choise to release it as a second single of this album. Michael Cretu wasn't involved of making this CD (He had worked to enigma3 that was released one year later with big success). Only value of this CD is the First Lullaby, produced & writed Cretu - Gad together. So I give this one star for this beautiful song( the song is worth all 5 stars, but album only 1!), that you can find in Sandra's "My Favourites" collection.
