제리 할리웰(Geri Halliwell)의 솔로 데뷔는 예상외로 성공적이었다. 그룹 활동이 그녀의 음악적 역량을 가두어두고 있었다는 생각이 들 정도로 다양한 스타일의 음악을 선보였다. 두 번째 앨범에서 더 이상 대중은 인기 그룹 출신의 그녀에게 편견을 갖지 않는다. 성공한 솔로 뮤지션으로 받아들인다. 그만큼 그녀의 부담은 많이 사라진 듯 하다. 더 이상 음악 외적인 부분에 전력을 기울일 필요는 없어진 것이다. 그래서인지 앨범에서 보여지는 음악적 모습은 전작에 비해 자유롭고 편안해 보인다. 브릿팝적 기본에 충실한 이번 앨범은 다양성과 파워에서 돋보인다. 가장 쉽게는 업템포, 미드템포, 발라드를 고루 섞으면서 다양한 템포를 보여주고 있으며 디스코, 펑키, 스카 리듬까지 담겨있는 리듬 또한 흥미롭다. 앨범에서 파워를 더해주는 요소는 세 가지 정도가 들어온다. 'It's raining men'에서도 두드러지지만 서정성을 높이는데 주로 사용되는 바이올린이 그녀의 앨범에서는 파워와 흥겨움을 실어주고 있다. 바네사 메이(Vanessa Mae)를 연상시키는 파워 넘치는 바이올린 백킹은 놓쳐서는 안될 매력이다. 코러스 또한 파워에 결정적으로 작용하는데 단순한 하모니를 위한 코러스가 아닌 강성을 동반한 코러스로 그녀의 솔로로서의 약점까지 커버해주는 일석이조의 효과를 만들어낸다. 마지막으로 파워를 위해 의도적으로 사용한 듯 한 사운드들인데 강한 전자기타, 각종 전자 음, 자동차 시동소리 등은 금속성의 사운드를 만들어내어 강한 여성으로서의 이미지를 돕는다. 해리포터의 책에서 영감을 얻어 여성들을 위해 작곡했다는 'Circles round the moon', 여성의 힘을 나타낸 'Strength of a woman'은 가사와 사운드가 적절히 맞아떨어지고 있음을 잘 보여주고 있다. 각각의 곡을 살펴보면 유로팝적인 심플한 멜로디를 담고 있는 'Calling', 찌그러진 사운드가 매력적인 'Feels like sex', 맑은 기타 반주가 인상적인 미드템포의 'Circles round the moon, 마돈나의 를 연상시키는 'Love is the only light', 음악적으로 성숙한 모습을 보여주는 'I was made that why'등 전 곡이 고루 매력을 지니고 있다. 첫 싱글로 영국 차트 정상을 밟은 'It's raining men'은 휴 그랜트 주연의 영화 의 주제곡으로 1983년 디스코듀오 웨더 걸즈(The Weather Girls)의 곡을 리메이크한 것이며 1백 20명의 백댄서와 거리에서 시원스럽게 춤추는 뮤직비디오도 화제를 불러일으켰다. -수록곡- 1.

Treat me kind, keep me safe Show me love, I'll embrace If you take me home, where I was born I'll find peace of mind, somehow
Give me love, show me grace Give me time, and a little space If you take me back, where I belong I'll find peace of mind, somehow
Look for light for your conception Lay me down for your inspection
Somehow we'll find away Sometime but not today There's somthin' I need to say Sometimes Somehow we'll find away I wish this was yesterday And maybe tomorrow I'll remember
Sometimes, sometimes
Give me hope, in life I pray It's good when I'm bad, I'm sorry to say When I feel you inside, deep within me I'll find peace of mind, somehow
I'm a living breathing contradiction Can't go through this crucifixion Sacrifice love for affection There's pain in pleasures resurrection
Somehow we'll find away Sometime but not today There's somthin' I need to say Sometimes Somehow we'll find away I wish this was yesterday And maybe tomorrow I'll remember
Sometimes, sometime
After the rain (after the rain) Then comes the sun (then comes the sun) We will be one (be one), again
An aphrodisiac rejection Immaculate is our conception
Somehow we'll find away Sometime but not today There's somthin' I need to say Sometimes Somehow we'll find away I wish this was yesterday And maybe tomorrow I'll remember
Sometimes (somehow we'll find away) Sometimes (sometime but not today) Sometimes (there's somthin' I need to say) Sometimes (sometimes) Treat me kind (Somehow we'll find away) Keep me safe (I wish this was yesterday) Show me love (And maybe tomorrow) Sometimes (I'll remember)

A million times I've asked you, And then I ask you over again You only answer Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps

Sometimes I feel so blue inside So when I'm lonely I drive to St. Tropez
I leave the world behind that's gray Into sunshine I know I'll be okay I say
Life is short Too beautiful for you to worry Don't give up When love is unkind There's always tomorrow
Don't let them bring you down that way The view is golden Believe the old cliche
I need a little time to play So kiss the moonlight The night is young at heart they say
La vie est courte Too beautiful for you to worry Tellement courte When love is unkind There's always tomorrow
Just let your imagination take a chance It'll get you far Step by step, the road is long But at the end you can touch a star I don't care where I came from It's where I'm going that gets me through It's all I need to get me through
Woah, oh, oh Yea, yea
There's always tomorrow Quelque fois je suis triste There's always tomorrow Il y a toujours demain, Il y a toujours de l'amour

Good looking, bad tasting Full bodied, butt wasted Loose living, tight fitting What you see ain't What you are getting
Big make-up, little break up She wants it, he's got it Cold blooded, hot gossip Superficial expectations
*Look at me You can take it all Because this face is free Maybe next time use your eyes And look at me I'm a drama queen If that's your thing baby I can even do reality
Fake money, real plastic Stupid cupid, fantastic Queer thinking, straight talking What you see ain't What you are getting Fast loving, slow moving No rhythm, but I'm grooving Old feeling, new beginning Superficial expectations
*repeat (That's me)
Some times I don't recognise my own face I look inside my eyes and find disgrace My little white lies tell a story I see it all it has no glory Hah
Watch the first light kiss the New World It's a wonder, baby like you and I All the colours of the rainbow Going somewhere, baby like you and I It's going to be alright But when my clouds sky over
(Lift Me Up) When the day is over (Take me up) When the sun is going down (Show me love) I will be your angel now (Lift Me Up) When the lights are fading (Talk me down) When I'm flying way up high (Show me love) And I'll be your angel for life Your angel for life
Like the seasons ever changing Everlasting baby, like you and I It's going to be alright But when my sky clouds over
(Lift Me Up) When the day is over (Take me up) When the sun is going down (Show me love) I will be your angel now (Lift Me Up) When the lights are fading (Talk me down) When I'm flying way up high (Show me love) And I'll be your angel for life Your angel for life
No matter where we run Who knows what we will become Is there a world we know Where life will naturally
(Lift Me Up) When the day is over (Take me up) When the sun is going down (Show me love) I will be your angel now (Lift Me Up) When the lights are fading (Talk me down) When I'm flying way up high (Show me love) And I'll be your angel for life Your angel for life (Repeat)
