Brilliant.5
This is the best album that i have bought for years. 11 strong tracks and 1 good remix.
She has one of the most powerfull voices in the world and can pull of dance tracks and ballads with ease.
She has put together a fantastic album combining traditional turkish beats and instruments with western pop and dance music to make something distinct, new and amazing.
The stand out tracks for me are "Here i am", "Breath in Deeper", "Leave" and "The One". Leave is especially good as it has sertab giving us some operatic singing which relly shows us the full range of her vocal talent.
"Every way that i can" is another great track which won her Eurovision and sent her to European fame, but in the U.K. she was largely ignored which is appaling. We have ignored an amazing talent just because she is associated with Eurovision.
My favourite track has to be "Here I am". It is very turkish yet is definately a western pop/dance song that given air time on the Radio and play time on the T.V. would surely take the charts by storm.
Overall A brilliant but overlooked album. BUY IT!!!!!!!

No Boundaries Indeed5
I am quite impressed with No Boundaries. This being the first ever Turkish music CD I've ever bought, technically, it's more of a crossover, and what a crossover! Sertab mixes the current pop, r'n'b, rock and dance musical styles with a unique ethnic yet modern feel, aiming for the diverse Eurovision audience, she's aimed and scored. She has quite a poweful voice and can deliver the different styles well, from a fast almost rap to heart breaking ballad.
The only problem: It's only 42 minutes long! Album's are usually slightly longer, but you can't help but listen to it more than once so the shortness is not so bad.
I just hope Sertab gets some recognition with the UK audience, the hard work she's put in she deserves to be in the top of the charts.

At last, something a bit different...4
Blimey what a great album! I too purchased this since seeing (and hearing) Sertab on Eurovision. I was lucky enough to grab the 5 track euro copy of the single "Everyway that I can" (which has the 12" version - shame not on this album though) and i've been hooked ever since! It's a perfect blend of traditional Turkish sounds mixed with modern, pop & dance beats: top this with her fantastic voice and you have a winner! I would call it perfect pop for people who aren't too keen on the rubbish currently clogging up the music charts...

...and a bonus! which is that despite some modern R&B rhythms, there's no rapping (or "yo! yo!" in the background) to spoil the proceedings. I agree the songs are a bit short but then I feel that this album is more quality over quantity.

I too gave this 4 stars because of the track "Back to the beach". It's a bit too euro-trash for me but don't let that put you off because others like "Got me like oh", "More than words" & "Love bites" & of course "Everyway that I can" will grab you instantly. Nice too hear something refreshingly different and it reminded me of Sarah Brightman's "Harem" as it's similar. If you like this, you're gonna love that!
