Really good debut album from UK singer/songwriter Shaila Prospere, ‘Back To Life’ has a lovely throwback feel – strong melodies, real instruments and good production – and the album has a good balance of uptempo and more laid back numbers. The popular dancer ‘Family’ is a great slab of modern, the mid tempo ‘Back To Liff’ borrows the Jones Girls’ riff from ‘Who Can I Run To’ while ‘Love Like This’ has a lush, soaring vibe. ‘No Better Love’ is a funky edged foot tapper, ‘Beautiful’ brings the pace right down for some slow burn balladry while ‘Break The Chain’ is an emphatic mid tempo dancer with an irresistible groove. Lots more quality on the this highly recommended set.
