Music at its very best

"Every so often a CD comes along which blows you away; which lives up to every expectation, and then gives you even more. This is such a CD. There are no moments where you feel the need for the next track button; every one of the 12 songs demands your full attention. And at least 4 come into the category of wondering what life was ever like before you heard them. Life stops for 50 minutes while this CD is playing. Martine's voice is breathtaking throughout, and handles the album's mix of ballads and up tempo tracks with seemingly effortless ease. My own personal favourite is Tremble, followed very closely by Talking in your Sleep. But to pick favourites on an album packed with gems just does not seem right. Oh, and she is absolutely gorgeous! I have still not washed my hand since I met her at the album's launch in London last year. My photo with Martine hangs proudly on my wall. If this review sounds more like a fan letter, then I do apologise. I don't normally do this kind of thing. But this is one instance where I'm going to allow myself to get away with it. This is a truly great CD, and even if you have never heard of Martine before, fans of quality pop need look no further for something very special. Enjoy!"

Great songs..I've already memorized the lyrics!

"Wow, who would have thought that a soap star would be even better as a singer. I love all the songs on this CD. My faves are Perfect Moment, Secret Garden, and Maybe This Time. Martine has a really lovely voice. This is one of those CDs that I always make sure is in the car!"

"I bought this on a lark -- I'm an Eastenders fan and I picked up Martine's bio on a trip to the U.K. -- mainly to enjoy the trashy descriptions of the artist's recording sessions...
Guess what? It's REALLY GOOD! You'll listen to it over and over!
You go, Martine!"
