"Belinda Carlisle has a stunning and unique voice that I love. I've got all of her solo cd's and this is one of the best of them.

There is a great mix of songs on here, from boppy to beautiful ballads. If you are the ballad type, then the best songs are Vision Of You (one of her best songs ever) and Shades of Michaelangelo. The best upbeat songs are Runaway Horses, La Luna and of course Leave A Light On. Yes I do love Summer Rain, but it's so overplayed. There isn't a bad song on the whole disc. I really wish she'd do new music - especially if it's going to be anything like this."

"One of the best CD's she's ever came out with. There really isn't any song thats better than the next because their all AWSOME!!! I'd say "Summer Rain" is the best in my opinion cuz i relate to it. "VISION OF YOU" i relate to also and love that song as well. This cd captures the essense of BELINDA CARLISLE!!! She is truly amazing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this cd. Dancy, exciting, upbeat, and romantic!!!!!

A Guilty Pleasure

"As a progressive rock fan, any dipping into straight pop is, at best, a guilty pleasure for me. This album is simply wonderful and I often find myself cruising down some lonely stretch of Texas highway, singing along with Belinda. It helps quite a bit that Belinda Carlisle has an absolutely dreamy voice - that's right, pop singers used to be able to sing! Where this album really stands out, though, is that the songs are actually quite complex, by pop standards, and that the musicians are really allowed to shine - the violin solo on La Luna, short though it may be, is gorgeous. I would own this album for that violin solo alone ... but almost every other song on the album is just as beautifully embellished. The only song on the album I dislike is (We Want) The Same Thing - too poppish for my tastes - but I can't think of any other pop album that has so many strong tracks. If one must own a Belinda Carlisle album, this is the one!"

Good Music

"Runaway Horses is forty-seven minutes and fifty-three seconds long and was released on October 17, 1989. Runaway Horses reached #37 on the US Billboard Album 200 charts and went Gold. This would be Belinda's third solo album and her last to chart. Six singles were released and two charted in the United States. The music is in a soft rock style and is pleasant to the ear. Some songs are really good to listen; the rest are just to fill cassette space. If you are a Belinda Carlisle fan, then go for it. Runaway Horses by Belinda Carlisle gets a B+.
