This is impossible for me to recommend for several reasons. The 18 tracks here are a peculiar mix of pop songs, "religious" songs and miscellaneous material from various sources with no recognisable theme: thus we get (amongst others) "American Trilogy". "One Day At A Time", "My Way". "I Believe". "Unchained Melody". "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Memory" from 'Cats'. Secondly. the production quality is poor: distortion on the synths and vocals, severe cut offs at the end of each track, and a decidedly "cheapo" feel overall. Not what you'd expect from a CD. And thirdly, Laurie's voice is (how can I put this gently) inadequate. She sometimes struggles to cope, and her pitching is quite often seriously off. A sadly misconceived project overall with no redeeming features, and definitely one to avoid.
