5.0 out of 5 stars Swing Rules., Oct 22 2003
By Derek Jones "buttahfly1976" (East Coast, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this CD to complete my collection of Lisa Stansfield's work. I've been in love with her voice since her debut release Affection. But like most of her fans in the US, I knew nothing about the movie Swing. After seeing the video for Baby I Need Your Loving on a public access music show, I decided to give it a try. I have never been more shocked by a cd purchase. This has become my favorite of all of Lisa's music because it's so different from what she's done before, yet the music is so perfect for her voice. From Baby I Need Your Loving to the killler Why Do We Call It Love this CD..well...Swings. The true gem of this release is Two Years Too Blue, if ever there was a voice for singing a torch song, Lisa owns it. Put this disc in and let the music take you. I guarantee you won't be disapointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow, Jul 31 2003
By Fabrisse "Fabrisse" (Dorchester, MA United States) - See all my reviews
I remembered liking Ms. Stansfield's voice, and I knew that I liked swing music so I put this on my Wishlist. Two of my friends got it for me for my birthday, and I can't thank them enough.

I've never been fond of "Mack the Knife", but her version's good. I've never heard of Georgie Fame before, but his "I Thought That's What You Liked About Me" is a great addition to the album. "Martin's Theme" is a lovely bluesy instrumental.

However, the album belongs to Lisa Stansfield. For upbeat, listen to "Watch the Birdie" and "There Ain't Nobody Here but Us Chickens" which are light and funny. How she made the "Chickens" sexy is beyond me. For sensuality, "Two Years Too Blue" can't be beaten.

My only disappointment is "Our Love is Here to Stay." It's one of my favorite songs and after hearing "Too Blue" I was looking forward to a languid and sensual take on this classic. It's done in a more upbeat style which still sounds fantastic, it's just not what it could have been.

Buy this. It's terrific.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Is Yet To Come..., Jan 5 2003
By David A. Preiser "Mannequin Man" (Tacoma, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
with this cd Lisa Stansfield shows that if she were ever to record a cd of "Standards" she would blow other artists away!! This cd of swing music is marvellous with some standards & some songs written for the film by Lisa, Ian Devaney & Richard Darbyshire. Two of the songs that have not gotten much praise here are "Two Years Too Blue" & "Why Do We Call It Love" both are close to perfection!! As for the STANDARDS...They are magical!!!! All in all, This is a great cd of GREAT performances!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't forget Clarence Clemons!
I'm the director of the film that this soundtrack is taken from. I'm biased about the music of course, Lisa and Ian did amazing work on it. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The British can really swing with the best
Lisa Stansfield proves that she can move from one musical genre to another with ease. It's good to see that a British artist in the 1990's can produce an album of swing that will... Read more

If for no other reason Ms. Stansfield's version of Mack The Knife is worth the price it breathes new life into a timeless classic. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars It's a great soundtrack
Most Americans probably don't realize that this is a film soundtrack to a British movie by the same name. Knowing that means the album makes a lot more sense. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and very well done!
Lisa Stansfield's name is listed above the title and there's a reason why: she sings about 10 of the 15 songs, and she really does quite a good job, considering her singing style... Read more
