Do You?

This relaese by Sheena Easton came hot off the heels of her successful A PRIVATE HEAVEN album in the late fall of 1985. The project was produced by Nile Rogers who was the hot producer of the day given his monster success with Madonna's LIKE A VIRGIN album. Some of the music on this CD has a retro-60's feel to it (Jimmy Mack, Don't Break My Heart) that is similar to the sound Nile Rogers employed on Madonna's LIKE A VIRGIN album. It is obvious to the listener that LIKE A VIRGIN was on everybody's mind going into the making of this project. Sheena is a first-rate pop singer and it is evident on tracks like "Do It For Love", "Can't Wait Till Tomorrow", and the subtle scorcher "Kisses". Those tracks along with her cover of Martha & The Vandella's "Jimmy Mack" are among the best tracks on the album. The track "Magic of Love" is about 3 minutes too long and the very-80's sounding ballad "When The Lightening Strikes Again" are some of the albums weakest moments. The bonus tracks consist of extended versions of the track "Do It For Love" which actually sounds better in it's "single edit" form and not the ponderous extended versions offered here. Overall it is a strong set of songs for anyone who likes Sheena Easton. February 10, 2006

the eighties sound at its finest

This album deserved to be a smash. I can't believe I didn't even know it existed until recently. I've always loved Sheena's voice and had the pleasure of seeing her perform in Vegas (she is just as beautiful in person). I have a lot of her cds, but this one really stands out because of Nile Rodgers' superb production. It has a similar sound to another Nile Rodgers project, Madonna's Like a Virgin. "Can't Wait Till Tomorrow" has a relentless pop melody and frenzied guitars reminiscent of Madonna's "Dress You Up." But this isn't all derivative of Like a Virgin. Do You has its own unique sound, silky and sophisticated. The title track is irresistible and Sheena's vocals are solid as a rock. "Magic of Love" and "Kisses" add a sensual, down-tempo vibe to an otherwise energetic album. There isn't a weak track here. Do You has inspired me to explore more of Sheena's lesser-known catalog.

DO YOU

NOW, I AM A HUGE FAN OF SHEENA EASTON. MY CD COLLECTION OF SHEENA IS LIKE A TREASURE TO ME. I WOULD SAY THAT "DO YOU" IS MY FAVORITE SHEENA EASTON CD. I FELT THAT SOME SONGS WERE JUST EXCELLENT AND OTHER SONGS WERE CUTE. "DO IT FOR LOVE" , "DON'T BREAK MY HEART", "MAGIC OF LOVE" ARE EXCELLENT. "YOUNG LIONS", WHAT A CUTE SONG. THIS CD BRINGS ME A LOT OF HAPPINESS WHEN ITS BEING PLAYED, AS WELL AS ALL HER OTHER CDS. April 8, 2004

Departure for the Diva

I really enjoy this album. The music is upbeat and very well done. Unlike what some other reviewers thought, I think this is a great display of Sheena's incredible vocals. Her previous albums tended to be a bit intense in their content. Here, the music is light and breezy. One reason may be that Sheena had just gotten married, so her wedded bliss, albeit temporary, may very well have influenced her musical choices.

I love the songs that give her voice a bit of a challenge. "Don't Turn Your Back" is one. "Jimmy Mack", a re-make was very well done; I love "Young Lions" and "When The Lightning Strikes", co-written by Dan Hartman, who brought us the '80's hit, "I Can Dream About You". "Money Back Guarantee" takes the romance out of love and reminds us of Pre-nups. Overall, I enjoyed this album. March 21, 2004
