If you judged this one by its cover, youd think it was some untalented trance bird singing about love and the stars. Its not. In fact, Canadian singer Sherrie Lea has a decent voice, and uses it well for pop-oriented dance tracks. Theyre not nearly as cheesy as the cover would imply, or as many similar acts from the past have been. Overall, it has a clubby trance and house feel. "No Ordinary Love is a decent single with a few trance-y remixes included. The most surprising song is a cover of "Where Love Lives, which was voted in the mid-1990s as the best house song ever. (In case youre wondering, it does include that famous piano vamp, but its pretty hard to equal the original.) Spellbound is not groundbreaking or inventive, but Ive heard way worse.
