Rachel Stevens

I think Negotiate with Love is the best thing she has recorded. It's amazing.

 

[LykkeLi]

What are all the b-sides/demos/unreleaseds from the Come and Get It era listed? I’ve always loved that album to death but only know the standard tracks, I feel like I’ve been missing out.

@Dale has done a pretty complete breakdown of the era here:

I've tried with It's All About Me multiple times but I'm sorry girls, it's an immediate skip pour moi. Sometimes Secret Garden too nn. The rest of the album is spotless tho.

 

[mrp2910]

Yeah, I mean I really like ''Negotiate with Love'' but lead single material it was not.

Yeah unless it was the only song finished at that point that definitely was a choice

As I've most probably said numerous times in this thread this should have been the version.

 

[bellodramatist]

It needs the twang of the guitars to make it sound like she can get within a semitone of any of the notes…

 

[Dale]

Negotiate With Love is by far the worst song on the album.

As a person who has the lyrics "I don't negotiate with love" tattooed on my ribs... I take personal offense to this!

That’s better than having, ‘I let you in my back door’ stamped across your lower back I suppose…

Case is closed.

I’ve been playing quite a bit of Rachel recently. But it lead me to notice that they only have the first version of her debut album on Apple Music / iTunes. Seems a bit daft really to miss out on streams for Some Girls and More, More, More. I know the former is on C&GI, but it was still a part of the FD rerelease. I also prefer the newer versions of Funky Dory and Breathe In, Breathe Out.

Oh well, thank goodness for CD rips.

Also the same for Spotify. The re-release is nowhere to be seen.

I have said this before and utterly agree. Like many have posted here, it’s frustrating that both the superior single edit version of ‘Funky Dory’ and ‘Breathe In, Breathe Out’ are unavailable currently but also the incredible back catalogue of b-sides, ‘Never go Back’, ‘Waiting Room’ and ‘Queen’ to name but a few.

If only an ultimate edition of ‘Come and Get It’ was released including all of the above plus the unreleased ‘Nothing in Common’, ‘Man Made’ and ‘Rhythm Junkie’ too!

Her streaming platforms need a complete overhaul!

 

[SBK]

My singles run:

- I Said Never Again.
- So Good.
- Nothing Good About This Goodbye.
// Album release.
- Crazy Boys.

The problem with this run is, she was releasing singles before the album was finished. I don't think I Said Never Again and So Good wer finished until late in the recording process.

Her streaming platforms need a complete overhaul!

Seems the mid 00's Polydor acts singles are all over the place. Girls Aloud's singles discography is shocking.

 

[Utopia]

The fact two songs by some other artist named Rachel Stevens have been in her Spotify singles discography since 2020 shows nobody at Universal/XIX cares about what is or isn’t on her streaming profile.

 

[bonnieetclyde]

Yeah, that's just embarrassing. But, I don't think SHE cares either.

 

[j267]

Obviously I’d never wish divorce on anyone, but I’m hoping that it maybe ignites a passion in Rachel to diversify from just being a fashion influencer. At the very least, a Hoopla performance with a couple of summer shows. I feel like her kids are at perfect age to really appreciate it too.

Ah okay that makes sense cause I always wondered how they went with Negotiate if So Good was right there.

‘Waiting Room’

A sort of Louise Redknapp kind of rebirth back into the world of pop?
