"There are several reasons to buy this CD, not the least of which is Titiyo's incredible singing, especially on the title cut, which, rightly, was a huge international hit. But I want to plug the "extended" version of "Come Along" if only because it includes a video of the title song that is the best argument I know in support of my assertion that Titiyo is the sexiest woman alive! I happened to be in Germany when this video came out, and I was certain I was witnessing the rebirth of pre-rhinoplasty Cher. The sun-drenched video, which appears to have been filmed in the Australian Outback, caught my eye, but it was Titiyo's sultry, bluesy mezzo that won my ear: I knew I was in the presence of a major talent. I later found out that she is from Sweden, not diesel country at all, and that her half-sister is Neneh Cherry. It IS a small world after all! So why not five stars? There are great musical moments on the album, in addition to the instant classic, "Come Along," but few of the other numbers rise to this level. "Hold Her Tight" and bonus-track "Josefin Dean" (which sounds like an outtake from the "Dusty in Memphis" sessions) are among my favorites. [Titiyo co-wrote this latter.] But buy it for the video, and then savor the tunes. The sight of Titiyo stretched out on a motorcycle is itself worth the price of admission."
Titiyo Jah ushers in a new age of excellence !!!

"Titiyo's "Come Along" album is a winner in every respect. Titiyo's powerful voice calls to us to join her in a land of enchanment and spiritualism. The songs are tight and uplifting, with lyrics that inspire thought and imagination. This one's going quadruple platinum!!!
"Come along" and ease your pain with Titiyo. The entire album is a wonderful journey into a realm of wonders."

"I first heard a portion of the come along song on a Six Flags commercial. It was so alluring and seductive I just had to have the whole song and the whole album. I was not disappointed.
Come along with the rest of us and ease your pain. Buy the album."
Couple of nice tunes, lyrics not so hot

"After listening to the CD a number of times I find it has some value. I can't give it 5 start just because I find there is not as many 'GREAT' tunes there. My favorite ones: Come Along, Love has left your eye, Last time. One problem I find with this CD should be probably attributed to my expectations. I really wanted more mature lyrics then what is acutally there. After listening to artists like Tori Amos, Jewel (not just her pop stuff) and Dido (ok, maybe she is more pop then Tori) it is little hard to get used to more "fluffy" music. In her defence she is a new commer and I hope for growth and development of her own style in the next CD. Overall, the songs I find interesting do justify my choice to buy the CD."

"Simply put, this cd will have at least 4 hits on it if there is any marketing at all."
