Album Notes
A Woman and a Man is the sixth studio album by American singer Belinda Carlisle, released in the United Kingdom on September 23, 1996 by Chrysalis Records (then part of the EMI Group, like Carlisle’s former label Virgin Records). The album contains songs written by Rick Nowels, Maria Vidal, Ellen Shipley, Charlotte Caffey, Neil Finn and Roxette co-founder Per Gessle who also produced one of the tracks.
It was released in the United States on the Ark 21 Records label. There was special DTS (surround sound) version released with a slightly different track listing compared to the original; it was only ten tracks long and did not include “Listen to Love”, “Love Doesn’t Live Here” and “Always Breaking My Heart” but instead had covers of the songs “Jealous Guy” by John Lennon and “The Ballad of Lucy Jordan” by Shel Silverstein.
Everyone’s favorite Go-Go is back with another solo effort, and her fans shouldn’t be disappointed. Carlisle still has the vocal qualities that have always defined her as something special; the shaky vibrato on those long notes, the strong, husky tone, and a knack for finding catchy melodies. A WOMAN AND A MAN showcases those qualities, as well as staking out some new ground for this talented singer.
Carlisle has expanded her sound on this disc. Where she formerly adhered to somewhat predictable arrangements and production, here she uses a broader sonic pallette. “California” is a dark-tinted, mid-tempo ballad with ’60s-bubble-gum background vocals. But Carlisle’s forte is still big, sweeping pop songs like the title track, where she builds upon a solid pop foundation to explode into a truly inspirational, foot-stomping chorus.
