I am a Louise fan, but I have to say that so far, I don't think this album is as good as her other two.

I loved the first single from the album, "2 Faced", when that came out - which is about people saying one thing to your face and another behind your back. I think we've all known someone like that at some point in our lives. Rumour has it it was written about the girls in Eternal, but Louise denies this of course...

The second single was "Beautiful Inside" - quite a nice song, but not as catchy as "2 Faced".

Out of the other songs on the album, none of them particularly stick in my mind as I write this. Maybe I've not listened to it enough yet - it certainly didn't grab me the first time I played it and demanded to be played again. I'm going to persevere with it, though, in the hope that I get to like the songs as much as the ones on her other albums.

The whole album was written or part-written by Louise herself, so its quite autobiographical (if that's the right term). The album title was named after the island in the Caribbean where Louise and her footballer hubby Jamie Redknapp were married.

If you were thinking of buying this album on the strength of "2 Faced", like me, I think you might be sadly disappointed with it.

Oh, and even though I'm not one to judge a CD by its cover, I've seen far nicer pictures of Louise than the ones on the cover of Elbow Beach! :-)

I've got the two singles, which are prety snazzy and far better than most recent pop fluff, so I decided to refrain from buying the whole CD. I htink I probably made the right choice, from reading your review. Agree about the cover, too. The girl is really beautiful...the photographer should do more to capture it!
