The "E"in "Sheila E"must stand for exceptional!!This is a well written,thoughtful and mature album,that is topped off with sultry vocals and great beats!! the opening track("One Day")has Sheila secretly desiring(who am I kidding...more like LUSTING/OBSESSING over)some(potentially)lucky guy...(who we must assume,is stunningly handsome,judging by the various(erotic)sounds,Sheila is making,while describing this guy:"oooooooooh","Mmmmmmmmm")On this song Sheila displays some real confidence/arrogance,when she( SO assuredly/confidently)states:"I KNOW he wants me,I know he does!"Sheila also made a statement(directed at this(poor)fella)that I(before I realized,that was indeed a "STALKER"song,as seen from the eyes/mind of said stalker!!)found rather"disturbing":"Sometimes I wanna BEAT YOU UP!!In the line immediately preceeding that"scary"declaration,Sheila said:"I guess many women,have no shame!!" On a non-violent note "Faded Photographs"is a nice thoughtful track,where Sheila is displaying some nostalgia/melancholy over pics of a former"friend".."Hold Me"has been an absolute FAVORITE of mine,since I was a junior in highschool!! Oddly enough though,I never knew(until earlier this very year)that it was Sheila E. who made this FANTASTIC song!!All these years,I thought it was Regina Belle(for some reason)who made this song.. It was on this sites' discussion boards,where some helpful soul,alerted me to the fact,that it was Sheila who made this(sultry)song,with its' straight to the point message:"Everytime I see your eyes(and/or hear your voice)...."Touch me,hold me"... My favorite part is where Sheila EMPHATICALLY declares:"Our love must be,STRONGER,than before!!" Sheila sounds so genuine,when she asks:"Would it be so wrong,to want you,by MY side?!?"Bottom Line:EXCEPTIONAL ALBUM!!
