Review - :
The young Belgian singer {$Kate Ryan} is being marketed as a slice of generic {\trance}-diva cheesecake (this package contains no fewer than 12 separate photos of her in various states of undress), but she is in fact a woman of considerable talent who sings with power and authority and who writes much of her own music. As a lyricist, she's quite a bit more convincing in her native French than in English (sample couplet: "Our love was stronger than the wind of time/Could hold you longer till the day I die"), but the music itself is really quite good. At its worst ({&"Another Day in Paradise,"} {&"Scream and Shout"}), {^Stronger} offers blandly professional club anthems that are more or less indistinguishable from any others you're likely to hear in a European dancehall. At its best ({&"Start Me Up,"} the extended mix of her cover of {$Cock Robin}'s {&"Promise You Made"}), it takes run-of-the-mill beats and spices them up with surprisingly elegant melodies and nicely textured arrangements. And on the two songs that she sings in French ({&"Libertine,"} {&"Je Lance un Appel"}), everything comes together especially nicely. Recommended. ~ Rick Anderson, All Music Guide
