CommentPERSONAL NOTES: Recorded in 1994 as her follow-up to 'When You're A Boy', Susanna's style had changed to reflect more of her emotions which was a direct reflection of the fact that she co-wrote over half of the album. It was grungier rock and had more of a bite than her first solo outing. It was riskier and more original. And perhaps that was why Columbia Records rejected it. Wanting something more along the lines of 'When You're A Boy', the label ordered Susanna to return to the studio to re-record them. When she refused, she was released from her contract. But in a rare move, Columbia also turned all of the songs' rights over to her (which usually they prefer to hold onto to them to capitilize on any future success she might have for another label). Anyhow, Susanna walked over to London Records where she recorded a new set of songs for the album that would later appear in 1996. Three of the songs here were redone for that album. "Enormous Wings", which is almost an identical version, "Darling One" (this one is a much more uptempo-paced version), and "Happy Place", with alternate lyrics. Subsequently "Catch The Wind" and "Turning Over" were released as bonus tracks on the 4-track CD single "All I Want". This album has more upbeat tunes on it, unlike it's successor in 1996, which could have been used on that later album to mix up the tonality a bit.
