It arrived in 1996, ten years after Belinda, and it also functioned as something of a break from the Go-Go's, as it was her first album after the group's mid-'90s reunion. That's not where the similarities end: the title track has some Motown propulsion, Charlotte Caffey comes in to co-write \"Kneel at Your Feet,\" and instead of Tim, Carlisle covers Neil Finn. All these echoes are somewhat buried underneath the studio gloss created by producer David Tickle, a veneer that can get too thick on the ballads but nevertheless is often pleasingly expensive. This is a big-budget studio album from an era when they were common and, in retrospect, its overblown adult contemporary has its charms, as do the slightly uneven songs -- tunes that veer from the precision-tuned pop of Roxette's Per Gessle's \"Always Breaking My Heart\" and \"Love Doesn't Live Here\" to Finn's exquisitely sculpted \"He Goes On.\" Perhaps the album could've used a dose of livelier material but Tickle's grand production suits the material and flatters Carlisle, two elements that turn A Woman \u0026amp; a Man into one of her better records. [Edsel's 2014 expansion of A Woman \u0026amp; a Man runs two CDs and a DVD. The first disc contains a remastered version of the proper album, supplemented by two acoustic versions (\"In Too Deep,\" \"Circle in the Sand\"), while the second rounds up six B-sides and unreleased cuts, another six live tracks, and three remixes of \"Remember September.\" The DVD has promo videos for the four singles: \"In Too Deep,\" \"Always Breaking My Heart,\" \"Love in the Key of C,\" and \"California.\"] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42035738345637,"sku":"5014797905412","price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/d8dd485146d5e7753b8ae8e020167dbe_d2033d55-b931-49be-bf0f-3497419850ec.jpg?v=1777816696","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-gb\/products\/woman-a-man-25th-anniversary-lp","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
