Lipslide, which has been out of print for 6 years, is released as an expanded, re-mastered 2-disc edition. The 1st disc features the original album, while the 2nd disc includes demos and un-released material, including an amazing unreleased collabor ation with Liverpool group Shack on Miles Apart.
Recorded as St. Etienne was on an extended hiatus, Sarah Cracknell‘s solo debut Lipslide is a breezy, endearing record that wears its lightweight aspirations proudly. Divided equally between Euro -dance and British Invasion pop, Lipslide is a triumph of style over substance, but its surfaces are so appealing that the uneven songwriting doesn’t matter. And when Cracknell’s writing does succeed, as on “Anymore,” and “Ready or Not,” Lipslide shines with both infectious, well-crafted melodies and sparkling, sunny charm.
Originally released by Gut Records in 1997, was co-produced by Sarah and a variety of renowned U.K. producers, including Ian Catt, Stephen Lioroni and Stephen Hague and co-written with Johnny male, Guy Batson and Mark Waterfield.
