Caring

with help from a few key associates -- and done in a nicely mellow style that has a deeper feel than most other work from her contemporaries! Instrumentation is definitely in the 80s mode -- with a fair bit of electric percussion and keyboards -- but Rosie's vocals aren't content with just sliding along with the rhythms, and have a deeply soulful range that you'll really like a lot, and which totally makes the record great. I've always been surprised that this set didn't push her onto bigger fame -- but over and above that mystery, the record's a great one that holds together beautifully over the years. Includes the heretofore impossible to find bonus tracks "So Fast", "A Thousand Years" and "Summer Sky".
