Belinda Carlisle - A Woman & A Man [Japan Edition] (1996)

Over 6 years later & I still love this album by one of my fave soft-rock vixens. I met her in '96 & she was rude. But her songs still take me over & this album is a pleasing example as to why. Not her biggest smash ever, although it did generate 2 UK Top 6 hits, the gorgeously romantic In Too Deep & The Per Gessle (of Roxette fame) fuelled Always Breaking My Heart, which gives Belinda a killer chorus - the thing she is most famed for. The album is brimming with great melodies & harmless songs which don't challenge lyrically but do soothe the ears. My fave trax are Remember September, a haunting & stark ballad which recalls love's promises. The title track is about another lost love, but builds up into a cracker chorus.

Quite a few guests on the album too. Per Gessle lends his pen to my fave song on the album, Love Doesn't Live Here, which eases along beautifully. There's an acerbic indictment of Belinda's home state of California with its death & drugs & general nonchalence. Wonder why she left California after this song to live in South of France? Hmm. This might be the reason why. There's a guest backing vocal from Brian Wilson of Beach Boys fame, which gives the song summery harmonies. A minor UK Hit. There's also a Neill Finn song entitled Fall At Your Feet, which reveals the diversity of Belinda's tuneful vocals. Anyone who knows Belinda knows that she loved Crowded House. Add to that a few other stonking songs & you have a darned good opus. It fared quite well in Britain & asides from a Greatest Hits album in 1999, plus supporting act for Cher (where she was fantastic) we have heard little of Belinda on these shores. One thing for sure however is that this album (although not as great as Live Your life Be Free) is moulded on an aim to give the listener an accessible tune & a wonderful vocal delivery. I'll enjoy it until she returns.
