Shaznay Lewis (All Saints) Never Felt Like This...

[Sean]

Shaznay Lewis (ex All Saints member) has a new single/album coming out. The single is out on 5th July with the album to follow 2 weeks later. The song is called "Never Felt Like This Before"

The song is nice... kinda laid back but catchy, I like it! Sounds like something Gabrielle might do.

Here's a blurb I got from www.ukcn.com/ukcn/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=120&ItemID=1732&tabIndex=5

Shaznay Lewis is set to make her eagerly anticipated return on July 5th with the release of her debut solo single ‘Never Felt Like This Before’ on London Records. Her first solo album, as yet untitled, will follow on July 19th.

‘Never Felt Like This Before’ is a shimmering and infectious single, with Shaznay’s glorious, soulful vocals sounding better than ever before. Its uplifting mood will make it the perfect feel-good, summertime hit.

Other highlights of the album include the Basement Jaxx collaboration ‘Mr. Dawg’ and the track ‘Dance’ which features a guest appearance from old school rapper Biz Markie. Shaznay has co-written every song on the album with collaborators including K-Gee of All Saints fame as well as Bacon and Quarmby (Sugababes, Finlay Quaye). Two songs, entitled ‘You’ and ‘Crying’, also feature production input from Trevor Jackson (Output Recordings/Playgroup).

With a combination of her phenomenal vocal ability, strong writing skills and some of the most talented producers around, Shaznay has produced a work of classic soul and mesmerising contemporary songwriting.
Shaznay plans to bring the album to the live arena and is currently in rehearsals with her band.

I wasn't impressed on first listen. It seemed pretty dull. Perhaps it will grow though.

[George Tropicana]

she looks very sexy.

[Pet Shop Boy]

I thought it was dull at first but i LOVE it now. Beautiful song.

[reception]

I like it. Nice guitar work.

[George Tropicana]

I like this too!

My best friend loves this one a lot, but I would give it about 7 out of 10. Nothing particularly spectacular, but it's still good.

I still love this song after tons of listens. I picked up the album while I was in the UK last week and it's quite good.... but this is the standout track, along with "You" (which I think is the next single as well).

Where did this single come in at in the UK?

[Pet Shop Boy]

Peaked at #8. It's having a great run though, it's been in the top 20 for 5 weeks now, for a low-top ten in the UK charts that's impressive. Plenty of airplay too.

The albums flopping though isn't it?

I hope her next single can do well and hopefully push album sales a little.

Her album isn't the greatest around but there are some damn good songs on there and it's about as good as an All Saints album (both of which I thought had some not so good songs along with the great ones). I don't want her to get dropped. She needs to cover up those freckles on the covers of her CD's though... I can't stand them!
