(5 out of 5 stars)

"I bought a copy of bellefire's second CD "spin the wheel" yesterday at a local store. It was imported from the EU and I'm glad that I'm one of the first few to hear it. Wow is the initial reaction when I heard this CD. Bellefire has improved so much in their vocal abilities since their debut album "After the rain". Every song is worth a listen. They also did the cover songs justice by singing them beautifully. Overall, this album is a must-listen for all pop-rock, Irish-loving, easy-listening audience. Track 1: Say something anyway (10/10)As most of you have heard it on radio, this is a great song to be a released as bellefire's first single.Track 2: You were meant for me (9/10)This is a cover of Jewel's hit song. It's well-done in the bellefire's style. Track 3: Spin the wheel (10/10)Another uplifting tune from bellefire. Probably the next single for the girls? Excellent guitar and vocal arrangements.Track 4: What hurts the most (8/10)A sad song about a broken relationship that is dedicate to those who have been hurt by love.Track 5: Nobody loves me like you do (9/10)A catchy pop song that signifies bellefire's original sound. You'll love it instantly when you hear it. Track 6: Damn (10/10)The mixture of the heavy rock beats and tender voices of bellefire makes this song unique in its own way. Bellefire let their voices loose in this song. Track 7: Pieces of you (10/10)A song to slow things down after a busy day. The power of bellefire's voices is that it soothes one's mind with beautiful harmonies, without sounding too over-rated. Love this song! Track 8: Sold out (10/10)The rockiest and angriest song in bellefire's album! "Sold out" is the ideal song that bellefire should release in America if they want to conquer it. It is pure American Pop!Track 9: Can't cry hard enough (10/10)Sounds familiar to those who listen to songs of the 80s and 90s? Another excellent cover song by Bellefire who conveys the sad feelings of a break-up. Track 10: I need to be next to you (10/10)A Diane Warren penned song that was first sung by Leigh Nash of Six-pence none the richer. Bellefire has added a pop flavor in this song which is going to appeal to masses.Track 11: Stay (9/10)An average song that is brought to life by bellefire. Simple yet beautiful. Track 12: I'll never get over you getting over me (10/10)Wow, a cover song of a 80s girl-band "Expose" that sounds just as original when bellefire sings it. I cannot imagine any girl-band covering this song except for bellefire. Ironically, they sound exactly and so different from expose at the same time. Track 13: Don't know why (9/10)No, this is not a Norah Jones' cover. It's a totally different song about loss and confusion. Having seen them perform at one of westlife concerts in 2002, I'm more than happy to see a girl-band like bellefire survive the highs and lows of music business. Thumbs up for bellefire! Hope to see you in Singapore someday perhaps?"
