Editorial Reviews
From the Label
Bursting with an electric mix of contemporary pop anthems, Rachel Steven's sensational second album Come And Get It will be released on 17th October.
The style and swagger of Rachel’s new material oozes maturity and confidence. A rich mix of stylish, decadent and sophisticated sounds, Come And Get It is pure pop gold.
Already featuring a collection of Top 10 hits including "Negotiate With Love", the defiant, breezily self-confident "So Good" and smash hit "Some Girls", Come and Get It is brimming with an exciting and eclectic selection of songs.
Working closely with a few of the UK’s hottest talents including Richard X, Rob Davis, former S Club collaborators Jewels & Stone, and, in something of an Alisha’s Attic reunion, both Karen and Shelley Poole, Rachel has made an album she’s really proud of. From the frenetic "Crazy Boys" to the melodic tour de force of "Nothing Good About This Goodbye"; from the electro laced ballad "I’ll Be There" to the sultry, dirty bassline of `Je M¿Appelle¿ and her forthcoming single, "I Said Never Again", a sex-with-your-ex anthem whose pummelling glam beats conjure an image of Suzi Quatro duetting with Adam & The Ants, "Come And Get It" is an album for anyone who appreciates pop music at its best.
CD Description
'Come And Get It' is the second album from former S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens. Featuring a host of collaborators including Richard X, Jewels & Stone and former Alisha's Attic members Karen and Shelley Poole, the album is a slice of grown-up pop with an edge that will cement Rachel's position as a true pop-cultural phenomenon. Includes the singles 'So Good', 'Negotiate With Love' and 'Some Girls'.

Come back and get it
That this album flopped amazed me, largely because the singles were so poorly marketed by her management team. The first album was not great, but Rachel Stevens clearly understood that, and went head over heels into overdrive on this one producing some of the most original sounding tunes to come out of the noughties. By rights this album should be a chart topper. The music is fresh, the vocals are sultry and strong and the album as a whole is on a par with other pop princesses. One can only hope that she will do a Kylie and keep churning out quality music like this until reviewers accept that (as Kylie proved) it doesn't matter how you became famous. True fame sticks with those that deserve it - definitely watch this space as Stevens is going to be sticking around.
Surprisingly Good!
I was completely unprepared for this album to be anything other than dreadul. Her first album (which I'd been given as a gift) certainly was, with the exception of the blissfully funky 'Sweet Dreams My LA Ex'.
Thereafter, I was, not so much disappointed, but actually offended by Rachel's output. Tinny production. Whispy go nowhere vocals. Video's with an apparent budget of around three quid fifty.
So when I was offered this album, I was reticent to say the least.
Imagine my surprise therefore, to find that Rachels second album (singles asides) - was in fact, an absolute pop gem!
Rachels vocal ability (last done justice on S Club's 'Natural') were finally rediscovered. OMG! The girl can vibrato? No?!! Her performance has subtlety & tones? Get out!
Only it's true.
Having finally discovered the 'base' section of the mixing board, the production quality can also not be faulted.
A remarkably good album. Particularly great is aptly named 'So Good' - and the sumptuously sexy (yet, oddly, maligned by fans) 'Je M'Appelle'.
This album should have been HUGE, however, I suspect it's fortunes suffered due to the wrong singles being chosen - those that *were* chosen, having cheap nasty videos - and Rachels management placing a stranglehold on her ever being able to say anything remotely reminicent of actually posessing a personality, in interviews.
A great shame about that - but a great listen, none the less.
Album of the year
I can't find a better word than "perplexed" to describe they way I feel about the fact that three of the best pop singles released this year 'Negotiate With Love', 'So Good' and 'I Said Never Again' have not reached a position higher than 10 in the UK charts. The only explanation I can only think of is that the buying public just don't like Rachel Stevens. Well if that is the case, what a shame because she has just released one of the best pop albums in years and the best one I've heard so far this year.
The album opener, 'So Good' is a perfect dance track featuring a strong electro beat/bassline and a dark choral backing reminiscent of New Order's Blue Monday; yet the whole thing is completly pop. Things keep on the right track with the 'rockier'
'I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)'. 'Crazy Boys' is just fantastic with it's stomping beat and its chorus could fit
nicely into a James Bond movie theme song. My favourite, 'Funny How' sounds like the Pet Shop Boys gone Kylie (you could almost swear it's Neil Tennant's melancholic vocals on the intro). I could go on describing how 'I Will Be There', 'Negotiate With Love', 'Some Girls' 'Dumb Dumb' are equally brilliant in different ways, but that would take too much space. Even if the rest of the songs were filler (which they aren't) this would be an outstanding pop record, miles away from Funky Dory and better that Annie's Anniemal.
