"but don't expect much depth. This album is by Siobhan Maher, a Liverpudlian of River City People and Bangles drummer Debbie Peterson who lives in England. The album is strictly soft, MOR - lots of mushy love songs like Here in My Eyes (Co-written with Gina Shock of the GoGo's) and What Are We Waiting For. The melodies a pretty. One gem: Ask me No Questions: it's not so much the song but the exquisite vocals worthy of the Bangles. In fact, the Bangles covered this in their Doll Revolution album but this version is far superior probably because it employs acoustic guitar alone and doesn't have all the overblown keyboards. The weakest cut is another of Debbie's self-help advice tunes "The Devil" ("The devil that you don't know is worse than the devil that you know.") This is the only album these women made save a Christmas song "Christmas Son" and another song "Here Comes Trouble" which is not available here. IRS went bankrupt after the album went nowhere."
