SHEENA does not get enough love at all!! She had alot of hits before Prince, but i will say he did bring out the best in her, i think A Private Heaven onward was kind of like Mariah's transformation, accept Sheena knows how to "be sexy" without having to throw it at you. I mean just check her performance on Solid Gold doing STRUT, that was one of the hottest things back in the day!!

She sounds great there, and the band sound great, but watching her perform you can really see her cabaret roots.  “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

together with the backgroundsingers during the instrumental solos-break are more natural and united. And some of those synths sound so plastic imo, lol. The analog-sounding piano + the sax-solo are cool though. | |

I love the song though, and her voice is strong. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Look I like Sheena she looked hot back in the day, but she's no singer ...come on relax...she has limited talent ....she knows this i'm not dissing her.... You should get her Standards album "NO STRINGS" Then, you'll see if she has limited talent. Thank U...I was going to suggest that myself! That's a great album! If it breaks when it bends, U better not put it in! | |
