1. Sweet Dreams My LA Ex - awesome song that WILL get stuck in your head!
2. Funky Dory - the title track, not as good as Sweet Dreams... but still good.
3. Fools - my favorite song on the CD. Great
4. Breathe In Breathe Out - different then your normal pop song, a little edgier.
5. Glide - gets old after awhile but still good.
6. heaven has to wait - a ballad, i cant stand it but thats because i hate ballads! But on a good note really shows off her vocals!
7. blue afternoon - pretty much a repeat of heaven has to wait but minus the ballad.
8. i got the money - ok not her best, but still good a little jazzy.
9. little secret - great one of the best on the CD, more like the sweet dreams... mixed withed funky dory.
10. solid - Ahah! the classic S Club pop song, but she does make it her own.
11. silk - the 'sexy' song, alright not as good as some of the others but still good.
12. Sweet Dreams My LA Ex (bimbo jones club mix) - can be good or bad depends on how you feel about remixes.

All in all a great CD definately worth it. In addition buy her single for "Some Girls" it is her best song.


USA and Canadian fans~ Good news!!   March 11, 2004
Rachel Steven's album is really good. I would buy it in a snap if it wasn't coming to us!! Yes, Rachel Stevens is coming to Canada and the USA!! She has already released " Sweet Dreams My L.A. Ex" in Canada. It came out February 23, 2004, it is the same as the UK version but, it is much cheaper. They are two-part singles. "Funkydory" the album has been released in Canada on March 9, 2004. You can't buy it on Amazon until March 15, 2004 though. For all us Americans, we have to wait. I know, it's not fair. But, if she came to Canada she has to come to the USA, no doubt there. I don't know if it's true, but saying is that her American album will have an extra song. So why buy an expensive import when she's going to release soon?? I don't know, so let's wait.


Now What Do We Have Here......   March 4, 2004

Die-hard fans of S Club/S Club 7 may have been highly surprised to see Rachel Stevens be the first of the Clubbers to go solo(after all, Jo was the only one with any REAL talent, right?). Even more surprising? This is a bit of a good record, a strong notch or two above any of the Club's spotty albums("Don't Stop Movin'" or "Never Had A Dream Come True" notwithstanding). Thankfully, for the most part, Stevens has moved on from the more sanitized pop that her old gang were prone to--granted, there are a couple of nods to it(particularly "Heaven Has To Wait" and "Blue Afternoon"), but Stevens has chosen primarily to make like a post-Eternal Louise, and to a lesser extent Kylie, by going a more pop-dance route. The results more often than not work fabulously--the very-Louise-like "Fools" is prime stuff, as is "Breathe In Breathe Out", "Glide", and the rhythmic "I Got The Money". In actuality, any of the aforementioned four would have been better singles than "Sweet Dreams My LA Ex", which was inexplicably huge in the UK but what the big fuss was all about genuinely escapes me--it's adequate and listenable, nothing more. Still, a minor observation that hardly detracts from what is quite a solid listen.
