David Wild has written the songs are atmospheric. So If Dave understands Stevie as much as I think he does, he will set an ambience and mood that will enhance the Stevieness of the recordings. I'm quite intrigued with the possible outcomes that this collaboration represents as Dave Stewart is a very versatile and apt producer. I loved the work he did on the last great Sinead O' Connor record "Faith and Courage" or some of the songs on the last Eurythmics record such as "Beautiful Child" or I Saved The World Today". If some of these elements are on tap this will be a very magical record provided that Stevie also stepped up her game on the lyrical and singing aspects.

Christopher, Icouldn't agree more with everything you've said, particularly regarding Dave being a sympathetic producer. He wants this album to be "a Stevie record" and has stated as much during the last 12 months. Funnily enough, I have been thinking very much of his work on Sinead's "Faith & Courage" and also the production on "I've Saved The World Today" as potential reference points for some of Stevie's album. Imagine if he could elicit a vocal response out of Stevie like Annie's on "I've Tried Everything"? I don't necessarily mean a falsetto, but just the intensity alone would be fantastic. I've said this before and I'll say it again, whether this project succeeds or not rests squarely on Stevie's shoulders. Let's hope she puts her best hoof forward.
