Tasmin Archer - Great Expectations [1992]


"British soul singer Tasmin Archer's silky voice on her debut album, Great Expectations, and hit single, "Sleeping Satellite," helped propel her toward massive media exposure in the U.K. and respectable success in the U.S. in 1993. Archer's music echoes the highly textured and polished dance-pop of Seal, yet it leans more toward straightforward pop, as evidenced by her 1994 collection of Elvis Costello covers, Shipbuilding. Bloom followed in 1996." -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine (All Music Guide)


"Brit vocalist Tasmin Archer maps out some interesting terrain somewhere between Seal and Tracy Chapman on her debut Great Expectations -- a layered, well-produced mix of acoustic and synthetic instrumentation overlaid with committed, soulful vocals. Lead track "Sleeping Satellite" was a hit in several parts of Europe, and it's a hypnotic, fashionably retro-psych-soul beauty. That track is backstopped by several more solid contenders, including a sombre-yet-vibrant "In Your Care," an emotionally honest "Ripped Inside," and the uncharacteristically forceful "Somebody's Daughter." While perhaps not living up to the album title, there are enough good ones (and one great one) here to make Great Expectations well worth investigating. " -- Roch Parisien (All Music Guide)


"Daughter of working-class Jamaica-to-England transplants, Tasmin Archer has a terrific voice--a soprano with plenty of power even in the lower gears of the conversational verses but capable of erupting on the choruses into a siren wails that can sustain of single syllables as long as she wants. When she grabs hold of a juicy melody, as she does on "Arienne" (a transparent rewrite of the Hollies' "Carrie- Anne"), she sounds like Annie Lennox against the synth-pop backing. Unfortunately, Archer's songwriting partners are isn't not Dave Stewart but guitarist John Hughes and keyboardist John Beck, who have none of the Eurythmics' knack for hooks and humor. Instead Archer is handed 11 very somber tunes with lyrics that circle serious issues like ecology, women's rights, and class injustice without ever quite grabbing hold of them." -- Geoffrey Himes (amazon.com)
