Imagine - Shola Ama

Advantages: Very catchy and surprisingly meaningful lyrics. Excellent garage/dance remixes hitting the clubs.
Disadvantages: None.

Often, stars who try to launch into trendy comebacks after a long absence end up failing miserably. However, Shola Ama really managed to pull this one off. Moving away from her previous soft R&B reputation, 'Imagine' turned into a club hit with garage and dance remixes appearing on complilations everywhere -- most significantly the unstoppable Pure Garage II. It's a ridiculously catchy song with surprisingly good lyrics and a great sound. It was ... Read review

...The Twice as Nice boys have done it again, residents for the sunday night event at the End have produced the latest compilation of live, mixed Uk garage and R'n'B. Cd one capture the essence of all that is good with the uk scene at present, some of the R'n B cuts are cool (such as Shola Ama's Imagine) as are mixes by the Artful Dodger of the Lynden David Hall tune. Coupled with this, Spoony has successfully put some decent heavy baseline stuff, such as track 2 -stand and deliver, a particular favourite of mine, and 'Celebrate Life'. Cd 2 contains fairly mainstream R'n B cuts, skillfully put together for the listener by Sutherland. A good purchase.... Read review

...Twice as nice is 3CD’s full of R&B, hip hop, bashment and old skool flavas, it’s mixed by bushkin & Mc creed. Twice as nice have a range of different CD’s but they are most biased in club music. You won’t be disappointed with this album. If you like going to clubs then this is the album for you as this CD has all the top classics such as ‘monster boy – I’m sorry’ ‘ Shola ama – imagine’ and ‘ Roy Davic Jr. Ft. Peven Everett – Gabriel’ the list goes on there’s something for everyone! If old skool classics isn’t your style and you are more into up to date stuff then this CD is for you to! I promise you this CD is worth having I brought this a few years ago now and it was constantly in my cd player or in my car and I still listen to it now sometimes. This album is grate ways to start your weekend off by listening to it wile your... Read review

...of the song. Shola Ama – Imagine (Club Asylum Remix) One of my two favourite tracks across the whole set, this song is greatly uplifting, featuring soft vocals and the remixing talents of Asylum. Originally included in the second PG, this song fits piano with a strong but not over-bearing bassline. Imagine my surprise when it’s followed up by this… Nitin Sawhney – Sunset (MJ Cole Mix) Just like that, my favourite track from the fifth Pure Garage is next in line after another smooth transition. This song has a background of strings, plus deeper female vocals. A great choice to follow the previous track, this song is also rather uplifting although not to the same extent. A good one to listen to if you are not feeling so good. The other of my two favourite tracks. M Dubs Feat. Lady Shaw – Bump N Grind... Read review
