Gabrielle - Sunshine.......2005-07-02

Well what can I say about Gabrielle? She is like an Angel - Her song Sunshine is so soothing and it's like a dream. If you have not yet discovered this amazing artist - I suggest you do.
I discovered this terrific singer from a friend who lives halfway around the world - dreams can come true - every where u turn there is the Sunshien in your Window! 5 stars!

An excellent compilation by one of the UK's leading females.......2003-06-10

Gabrielle's voice is so moving and so utterly-what's the word F-U-N-K-A-Y - that the fact that she's not more well-known around the world is a true tragedy. All of these songs are brilliantly produced and performed. I'm a big fan of her more recent album, "Rise", but the earlier material contained here is by no means less compelling.
Favorite songs: dreams, give a little more time, sunshine, rise, should i stay, out of reach, don't need the sun, if i walked away.
There are no low points on this excellent retrospective. If you're into elegant R&B & pop, you can't miss this!

Rise.......2002-09-25

I absolutely love Gabrielle's voice and I sincerely wish that she was more well known in the states, most Americans don't know what they are missing. I don't recall exactly how I came to purchase the CD Rise, perhaps by sheer luck. I must admit that it is one of my favourites! I would recommend Gabrielle to anyone who appreciates talent and beautiful music

Smooth Soul From Over The Atlantic.......2002-05-21

Sadly, Gabrielle is a virtual unknown in America, but in the UK she is the most successful female solo artist since Dusty Springfield and that is certainly a huge achievement!

Evoking the spirit of soul, but with a decidedly pop-influenced style as well, Gabrielle's songs (all but one of the tracks on this greatest hits are co-written by her) are generally about love and life, overcoming heartache, standing up for one's self and becoming a better person.

Her one top 30 hit in America, 'Dreams', opens the album but is actually one of the weaker tracks vocally and melodically. On tracks like 'Forget About The World' and 'If You Really Cared' she shows a stronger, fiercer side to her voice, not to mention a more interesting talent for songwriting. She touches on very Motown territory on tracks like 'Give Me A Little More Time' (another huge standout) and 'When A Woman' and rounds the album off with haunting ballads 'Should I Stay' and 'Out Of Reach'.

Arranged chronologically, it is interesting to hear how her musical style develops over the 9 years she has been in the business. From the early-90s dance pop in 'Going Nowhere', to her experimenting with a more 'live' sound in the middle of the album, to her lessons of life in the possibly more mature second half of the album, we can experience this woman's struggles with her and relate to the things she's singing to.

Great album to chill to or even to cry to. Fingers crossed that she may still break America. We'll see. :)

Acoustic Dance/Soul At Its' Best.......2002-03-10

Though she hasn't managed to gain much ground stateside since 'Dreams' was a minor hit in the early nineties, Gabrielle remains one of the U.K.'s most popular vocalists, and listening to this collection reaffirms the justification of that popularity. Though 'Dreams' remains one of her bests, there's more here to make one question why she couldn't muster much attention beyond that track here in the states. 'Give Me Just A Little More Time'finds her mining Motown territory, while both 'Sunshine' and 'When A Woman' suggests she had more than a passing affinity for sixties girl group pop. Among the many other standouts:new track 'Don't Need The Sun To Shine'and the sterling'Out Of Reach', quite possibly her finest moment. Highly recommended.
