    It's still on the dancefloor showstoppers--No Enemiesz, Giant In My Heart--that she really comes alive. [Jan 2015, p.127]

    Her smarter, odder lines (“Put your hand on my piano”) stand out amid the clubbing clichés, though her high, slightly strangled, often shouted vocals don’t.

    Kiesza may have already dominated the charts and club scene, but she’s got a whole lot more tricks up her sleeve.

    It’s Top of the Pops in 1992. It’s not at all bad.

    Kiesza’s so much better when she reels back her impressively ranging vocals to buttery.

    Sound of a Woman fails to spark, as its homogenous textures blend together to rob this music of the personality and emotion it has when done right.

    Ultimately, too many promising tracks fall flat, and Kiesza’s strong, emotive voice is forced to do all the heavy lifting.

This album goes since deep feelings until the happiness and it makes this one amazing to listen.

    The cover of "What Is Love", the title track, "Piano" and the buzz single "Hideaway" are the best songs of the album and has a production that really impress everyone.    … Full Review »

It has a good selection of dance and electro sounds and it sounds very good and her voice is amazing. Only a few songs (Piano, Losin' My Mind) are not so excellent as the others but all the other songs are very cool! I love this album and I hope she will do other albums in the future! The best tracks are: Hideaway, Over Myself, Sound of a woman, No Enemiesz and The Love… Full Review »
