Stansfield with a new sound of Horn

THE MOMENT is a new testament of Lisa Stansfield's return in her significant Rochdale's deep crooning vocal styling with the sound of UK-based pop songwriter-producer genius Trevor Horn.

This collaboration brings us yet a few more remarkable hits i.e. TREAT ME LIKE A WOMAN and the consequent WHEN LOVE BREAKS DOWN with Horn's powerful trademark chorus in Stansfield's veteran soulful and seductive package, HE TOUCHES ME/TAKES A WOMAN TO KNOW with Stansfield's further polished and sophisticated all-woman demeanour of a female vocalist, and IF I HADN'T GOT YOU with every positive drug chemistry that will make any geek crave to dive in the dance floor!

Often regarded as the pride and essence of UK pop music, Stansfield proved once again her reign is still way too far from over. November 10, 2006

A Must Have Album for the real fan of Lisa !

Sound, Music good as previous LP. But not the best as 1st or 2nd albums. If you're the real fan, don't worry go get it. June 29, 2006

This Is Stansfield's Moment to Shine and She Works It!

The last production I bought by Lisa Stansfield was "Face Up" which I felt was a mixed bag of catchy funk and soul numbers with an equal amount of lackluster vocals and melodies. "Face Up" was mediocre compared to "Real Love" or her third album-I can't recall the title-it may have been simply "Lisa Stansfield." (also LOVED the remix cd with that awesome Hex Hector version of "I'm Leavin'")

On the Trevor Horn production of "The Moment," our sistah Lisa is back and better than ever!! No, the disco influences and funk may be missing a bit but the touching ballads and pop magic that exist in these 11 songs make up for lost time. Unlike other albums and singles that Horn has produced for artists like Seal, the ABC Band and Cher, (to name but a few)Stansfield's powerfully pure vocals get put up front where they belong, avoiding the "Horn-like" echo and oveamplified sound of his usual style.

STANDOUTS-
Treat Me Like a A Woman (cool and dramatic-Lisa works it!)
When Love Breaks Down (my second favorite song on the cd)
Say It to Me Now (power ballad with sincere drama and heart)
The Moment (another touching slow number)
If I Hadn't Got You (My favorite song on the cd)
Love Without a Name (true and honest as our all the songs here)
Takes a Woman to Know (if this isn't a funky song I don't know what is!)

Buy it-you won't be sorry you did!

Different, but still great

The Moment is different from Lisa's other CD's, but not at all in a bad way. This is a wonderful CD, which grows on you after the first listen through. In my opinion all of the songs on here a worth listening to more than once. I love this Cd not only because I'm a huge Lisa fan, but because "The Moment" is really, really a great CD that I never get tired of hearing. I cannot wait for Ms. Stansfield's next Cd, which I've heard is in the works, but this time with her husband Ian. March 14, 2006
