ANITA BAKER: My Everything

ANITA needs no introduction -- she's an eight-time Grammy Award winner, composer, producer and mother too, bringing us classic soul songs like Sweet Love and Giving You The Best That I Got. She's been on a break for the past 10 years to spend time with her family, but now she's back. My Everything features 10 new songs, all but one penned by Anita. From the title track and the sexy I Can't Sleep, to Like You Used To Do, her duet with Babyface and Men In My Life, which is dedicated to her husband and two sons, Anita's soulfully smooth voice flows over the words, turning songs into magic. Fantastic.

LISA STANSFIELD: The Moment

LANCASHIRE'S first lady of soul Lisa had her first taste of the top spot with All Around The World in 1989, which led to further hits with Change, Someday (I'm Coming Back) and All Woman. The Moment is her sixth album, and is produced by the masterful Trevor Horn. A sophisticated adult-orientated pop album, The Moment features 11 tracks, including first single Treat Me like A Woman. But has Lisa's moment come and passed, with younger female singers leading the way?

JOSS STONE: Mind Body & Soul

THE Devon teenager describes Mind Body & Soul as her "debut" because she co-wrote 11 of the 14 songs, which include the feverish You Had Me, the soulful Right To Be Wrong, the playful dance track Don't Cha Wanna Ride to the rock-soul ballad, Killing Time. This album showcases Joss as an all-round talent, not just someone with a voice.
