Presenting...Miss Sarah Connor

Back in 2000 the world was at the height of the pop phemonena: Christina had debuted, Britney had debuted...finally it was time for this Sarah to debut.

American's wouldnt know her tell 2004 (and even then you probably still dont know who she is) but this was the year and the CD that made her a star in her home country of Germany. Sarah is what you call 'Blue Eyed Soul'. Her voice is very similiar in strength and range to Mariah and Christina. Her songs follow the same pop'nb (pop mixed with rnb) method as many of there's as well. She would become the biggest German female artist and evolve quite a bit over the next 6 years...but for now she was pure pop with a hint of rnb.

Green Eyed Soul kicks off with one of Sarah's first singles the upbeat and catchy 'Lets get back to bed boy'. This single sets the tone of the whole album: sexy yet fun while being classy not trashy (so no chaps like Christina in her Dirty phase.)

Green Eyed Soul gets poppier with 'If U were my man' and goes deeply sensual with the 'No Diggist' sampling 'French Kissin' (also a very successful single). 'Magic Ride' and 'Make U High' take you back to the good ol pop. 'From Sarah with love' is the first ballad...it was the single that launched Sarah's fame and shows off her vocals beautifully.

'In my house', 'Where do we go from here' rnb it up while 'I cant lie', 'Every little thing', 'Undressed', 'Cant get none', and 'Man of my dreams' pop it back up. 'Let us come together' sounds like 'Lets get back to bed boy part 2' but it is a different and neat song. 'When I dream' finishes the CD in a light but beautiful way that leaves you wanting more.

Overall Green Eyed Soul is one of Sarah's best CD's (though she doesnt really have a bad CD). If your looking for a good rnb track check out 'Lets get back to bed boy' and 'French Kissin'. If your looking for a good ballad check out 'From Sarah with love'. And if your looking for some good pop check out 'If U were my man' and 'Undressed'. May 23, 2006

Sarah...

This album is amazing, it's a shame it wasn't released on the US as other of her releases, I remember when I first saw "Let's get back to bed-boy!", I was hit and I just though "I have to buy that CD", the song features American rapper TQ and it's amazing, Both artists are cute, the song is one of the best that I've listened to my life.
It seems that she was a die-hard fan of Mariah Carey and Toni Braxton, the song "From Sarah with love" says it all. It sounds like "Un-break my heart" and "My all" together, the rest of the album, mixes these styles.
LET'S GET BACK TO BED-BOY! +5/5
The best song of the album, it's fantastic
IF U WERE MY MAN 4/5
Not the lyrics, but the music is good
FRENCH KISSING +5/5
Samples "No Diggity" by Blackstreet, it's very nice
MAGIC RIDE (Whatever you wish 4) +5/5
TQ's raps suck here, but the music is amazing
FROM SARAH WITH LOVE +5/5
Reminiscent of Toni Braxton's "Un-Break my heart" and Mariah Carey's "My all", the high note is fantastic
MAKE U HIGH +5/5
A bit "New age", it sounds amazing
IN MY HOUSE +5/5
I think the song samples Grandmaster Flash's "The message", because it really contains elements of that song, but it's not mentioned at the booklet
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE +5/5
One of the best songs of the album
I CAN'T LIE 4/5
This song is cool
IMAGINING 3/5
It's good, but not than "From Sarah with love"
EVERY LITTE THING +5/5
This is another of the best songs, the musci sounds amazing
UNDRESSED +5/5
It sounds familiar, but i don't know where does it come
CAN'T GET NONE +5/5
Absolute R&B, TQ production was obvious
MAN OF MY DREAMS 3/5
This song is so immature
LET US COME 2GETHER +5/5
Again, there's a part on the song where I can hear a bit of Ice Cube's "Bop Gun" track, pay attention on this one (If you have listened to that song), it's on the part where she starts talking
WHEN I DREAM +5/5
Another New age/R&B track, I love it
LET'S GET BACK TO BED BOY (Gena B. Good Remix) 4/5
The remix, it's great, but the original version is simply better July 17, 2005

Debut of Germany's new female star

Who is this gal? Sarah made the waves in her native Germany with a beautiful ballad, "From Sarah With Love", in late 2001. Parallel to this (I'm unsure which single was first) "Let's Go Back to Bed Boy" was a major chart buster for the discotheques. Within weeks the singer was literally everywhere, in TV talk shows, a far-reaching tour through Germany and other European countries. Without a doubt, Sarah is currently (as of 2003) Germany's most competitive internationally-oriented music act, whereas her debut "Green Eyed Soul" is the perfect proof that this singer is not just a flash in the pan (as her sudden international affairs also proved). This release not only contains these two mentioned singles, but a string of modern danceable pop music, which I'd rate high (but probably not highest). Four stars appear appropriate to me.

Good singles, the rest is boring

Sarah is currently Germany's most successful soul-singer - a bit like a German Mariah Carey. Unfortunately this album is too much pop to be a soul CD. The singles (and therefore top ten hits) are very nice, but that's all this album offers. TQ raps on "Let's go back to bed boy". December 28, 2003
