"Princess was a pretty big deal in the UK when she released her singles and her albums, but it's not so much thanks to any classic SAW sounds that were so popular back in the 80s. Stock Aitken Waterman's first full album production sounds absolutely nothing like the HI-NRG for which they are known. Instead, this is R&B and club music that could be compared to what artists like Chaka Kahn were recording back then. Not bad stuff, but definitely a let down if you're looking for something more in the style of SAW collaborations with Kylie Minogue, Donna Summer, or Rick Astley. In fact, Princess's version of "If It Makes You Feel Good", which was a slammin dance track on Donna Summer's album a few years later, is downtempo here. The ONLY track that demonstrates the SAW sound is the garage mix of "In the Heat of a Passionate Moment", but unfortunately, that's not a full vocal mix! Track listing is:
In The Heat Of A Passionate Moment
I'll Keep On Loving You
After The Love Has Gone
Say I'm Your Number One
If It Makes You Feel Good
Tell Me Tomorrow
Anytime's The Right Time
Just A Teaze
Say I'm Your Number One (Remix Number 2)
After The Love Has Gone (Dj Bad Mix)
I'll Keep On Loving You Us Remix)
Tell Me Tomorrow (Soundtrack Version)
In The Heat Of A Passionate Moment (Garage Mix)
After The Love Has Gone (Promo Version)
Say I'm Your Number One (Demo Version)"
Princess plus bonus trax
