It's not often to you find a single disc album with 18 songs! That alone is quite an accomplishment. Sabrina can be described as sounding like Madonna or Dido or even Enya, but she's distinctly an artist in her own right.

Sabrina's album touches on so many areas of pop music, a bit of mid-eastern, a bit of rock, a bit of ambient and probably a few others as well. Maybe that's why there are 18 tracks, Sabrina needed that many just to show the listener exactly what she can do. That can be a double edged sword at times, but for the most part, Sabrina's album is very cohesive and enjoyable, more so than some of the more recent offerings by the current pop divas.

Sabrina's music is all about sensuality and I dare you not to feel a little sexier after giving this disc a spin.

Highlights include:

Show Me, a song that is asking her lover why she should stick around when it seems like sex is all that her lover is after.

Love Is, which is really exactly as the song states, a dance track that is Sabrina's interpretation of what that emotion really is.

My Love, is a beautiful love song that reminds me a bit of ABBA in a very good way.

What A Dream, is an ethereal trip down the musical plane. 6 minutes of pure sexy.

Sabrina's voice lures you in, it makes you want to dance, to fall in love, or get in touch with your inner sexuality. Slip into something sexy, or grab someone sexy, pour a glass of wine, and be prepared to get your groove on.
