Eternal - Power of a Woman
One of my favourite girl bands from old were Eternal (this is probably showing my age a bit but oh well). They were popular before The Spice Girls, Girls Aloud etc and I think one of the reasons why they were successful was because they could actually sing and had some lovely harmonies, with beautiful voices that all worked well together. They were also all very pretty as well so I'm sure this added to their success.
Eternal were formed in 1992 and eventually ceased as a band around the year 2000. The group consisted of four members, Easther and Vernie Bennett who were sisters, Kelle Bryan and Louise Nurding. Louise Nurding is now probably the most famous of the quartet as she was fairly successful as a solo artist and went on to marry the footballer Jaime Rednapp. She still does some television work as of today.
According to an article I read, the group achieved fifteen Top 20 hits in the UK and total sales are claimed to be in excess of 10 million records. By the time they released their second album, Power of a Woman they were actually a trio, Louise having left in 1995 to pursue her solo career. I don't really think this changed the dynamic of the group as they still stuck with their beautiful harmonies and catchy love songs.
Power of a Woman was released on November 5th 1995 and went to number 6 on the UK album charts. To me this album has quite an R&B feel without being too hip pop. I think part of the reason why they moved to more of a sound like this was that now the only white member of the group, Louise had left. Also, as we all know this sound is very popular in America and I think they were attempting to break America with this album.
My favourite track on this album is actually the song Power of a Woman, quite a strong ballad with a good message. In fact most of their songs have a strong female theme which I do enjoy and think is quite empowering. They do it in a different way though to say Destiny's Child who were a bit in your face, Eternal's music was subtle but with great lyrics.
Other tracks on the album include:
1. Power of a Woman 2. I am Blesses 3. Good Thing 4. Telling you Now 5. Hurry Up 6. Redemption Song 7. It Will Never End 8. Who Are You? 9. Secrets 10. Your Smile 11. Don't Make Me Wait 12. Up to You 13. Faith In Love
...Eternal's Greatest Hits is a CD that is exactly what the title says that it is- it is a collection of Eternal's greatest, and best, songs.
There are seventeen songs on it, including Stay, Save Our Love, Power of a Woman and I Wanna Be The Only One. These songs, along with the others on the album are very catchy, and display the amazing singing talents of Kelle, Esther and Vernie. The songs are 'dancy,' and make you feel on top of the world when you listen to them.
Overall, this is one CD album that is a once in a lifetime chance for a group, and for you to miss out is not advisable, especially as they might not be around for much longer....
