Lisa Stansfield's long-awaited eponymous fourth album finds the blue-eyed soul singer at the top of her game, turning in a stylish set of smooth, disco-inflected dance-pop. The songs, from a cover of Barry White's "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up" and "Never Gonna Fall" to the ballad "I Cried My Last Tear," are uniformly strong and Stansfield's voice is seductive and sexy, making the album a small gem in her catalog. ---Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic Review

When Lisa Stansfield took the R&B world by storm with her melancholy, Barry White-influenced single "All Around the World," it was obvious that not since Teena Marie had a white female singer performed R&B so convincingly. Though she didn't shy away from hip-hop and house-music elements, Affection leaves no doubt where the British singer's heart lies -- sleek yet gritty '70s R&B. Though the retro leanings of such updated soul treasures as "You Can't Deny It" and "What Did I Do to You" are obvious, Stansfield's producer keeps things very fresh sounding by embracing a decidedly high-tech and very late-'80s/early-'90s production style. Though essentially a soul diva, Stansfield has a disco masterpiece in the love-and-togetherness anthem "This Is the Right Time." --- Alex Henderson, Rovi

Lisa Stansfield is a bit of a legend really isn’t she? Over her three decades in the music industry, she’s been responsible for classic hits such as Around The World, Someday (I’m Coming Back), People Hold On, Change and In All The Right Places. It’s been a decade since she last released an album and that was 2004’s The Moment. Now she’s ready to make her return to music with her new album Seven, aptly named as it’s her seventh solo studio album.

Stansfield started to tease her return last year when single Can’t Dance was released. The track retains Stansfield’s classic mix of soul and pop giving the song a throwback sound that works well in a music climate where hits such as Get Lucky by Daft Punk and Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke are topping the charts. The track is the opening number on Seven and it reintroduces you to Stansfield’s sultry, soulful and powerful voice. There’s something so warming about Stansfield’s voice and immediately you reconnect with her eager to see what she’s going to serve up next.

Seven was written and produced with Stansfield long-time collaborator and partner Ian Devaney. The album contains 10 brand new tracks that update Stansfield’s signature sound so that it works in today’s charts. The end result is one that is varied and stunning with Stansfield’s vocals at the centre of it all. New single Carry On, which is a nod to 70s disco, is one of the standouts on the record and showcases the impressive vocal range that we know Stansfield for. The verses start off sultry before building into a catchy chorus that you’ll be humming long after the track has finished.

Elsewhere on the album Stansfield strips back the instrumentation for the jazzy Why, surrounds herself with a horn section of the seductive Stupid Heart, and explores midtempo R&B on the gorgeous The Crown. Album closer Love Can marries sultry beats with Stansfield’s lower register leaving you on a moody and affecting note.

Our favourite moment on the record is ballad Conversation. Starting out as piano ballad, the track features a restrained and passionate vocal from Stansfield. We can already imagine this bringing out the goosepimples when she performs it live. The second half of the song reveals luscious strings and orchestration as Stansfield’s voice hits some serious hit notes.

Seven is a welcome return for one of the most iconic female British singers of our time. 10 years has been a long time to wait for Stansfield to return to the charts but that wait has paid off with this album. There’s something about Stansfield as a songwriter and a vocalist that has never been emulated by any other artist and she remains one of the most distinctive artists to come out of the UK. Please don’t make us wait another 10 years Lisa, we don’t think we could bear it! --- Pip Ellwood, entertainment-focus.com
