Rachel’s back with a collection of songs so strong and inventive that,
like Rachel, they are simply impossible to ignore - “I want to put pop
music back on the map,” she states. The style of her new material
pitches the new album light years ahead of its predecessor. And while
Rachel is proud of the first album she happily admits that it
represented only the first step in pinpointing her personality as a solo
star. “It would be a boring life if I just released the same album every
two years,” she explains. Lead single ‘Negotiate With Love’ is a tale of lost identity in a floundering relationship. On one hand it is yet another defining moment in modern pop and on the other it’s a melodically rich tour de force. Just 18 months into her solo career Rachel scored two of the best British pop singles in recent memory - 2003’s ‘Sweet Dreams My LA Ex’ and last year’s summer anthem ‘Some Girls’. Released in September 2003, ‘Sweet Dreams My LA Ex’ kicked things off in style. Originally an imagined answer to Justin Timberlake’s ‘Cry Me A River’, ‘LA Ex’ was the work of Cathy Dennis and Bloodshy & Avant (who worked with Britney on ‘Toxic’) and its unusual sound found some unlikely fans – including rockers Lostprophets, who covered the song for a 2004 b-side. ‘LA Ex’ was one of 2003’s biggest sellers and was quickly followed by Rachel’s debut solo album, Funky Dory. Hitting the Top 10 after just one week, it went on to sell over a quarter of a million copies. By the summer of 2004, Rachel had another huge hit with the Richard X produced ‘Some Girls’. The song provoked rave reactions everywhere from the Pollwinners’ Party to the Popbitch messageboard and fronted 2004’s BBC Sports Relief campaign. Richard X and his ‘Some Girls’ collaborator Hannah Robinson also worked with Rachel on a brand new song, ‘Crazy Boys’, one of Rachel’s favourite new album tracks. Among Rachel’s other new material we find the breezily self-confident ‘So Good’ and the seismic ‘I Said Never Again But Here We Are’. With each new song recorded and with each new single to hit the charts, Rachel Stevens seems to have less and less to prove, exploring new avenues while still, undoubtedly, reaching for the stars. This album is about putting pop music back on the agenda, and Rachel can’t wait to get started. When you hear what she’s got up her sleeve, you’ll realise why. ظهر رايتشل مَع a مجموعة الأغاني القويةِ والمخترعةِ جداً
تلك، مثل رايتشل، هم مستحيلون حقّاً للإهْمال - “ أُريدُ إعادة موسيقى
البوب على الخريطةِ ,” تَذْكرُ. أسلوب مادّتِها الجديدةِ تُروّجُ لسنوات
الألبومِ الضوئيةِ الجديدةِ قبل سلفها. وبينما رايتشل فخورة بالألبومِ
الأولِ تَعترفُ بسعادة بأنّ مثّلتْ فقط الخطوةَ الأولى في تَشخيص شخصيتِها
كa نجم منفرد. “ هو سَيَكُونُ a يُجوّفُ حياةً إذا أنا فقط أصدرتُ نفس
الألبومِ كُلّ سنتان ,” تُوضّحُ. |
