Thoughts

The first question is, of course, did I know Proud was a Heather Small song rather than an M People track? If I did, I’d forgotten the fact, so it was a surprise to me that this album even existed. It’s good, although a little bit lengthy. Obviously Proud is a legendary song at this point, and the album finishes on a high with the Tom Jones duet. In the middle things get a bit drawn out, but none of it is bad and you can’t really fault vocals like these.
