After making it big in her native U.K., soul-pop princess Shola Ama issued her American debut In Return in fall 2000. Her first album, 1997's Much Love, went platinum and earned Ama four Top Ten hits.

Already having scored big in her homeland England with her platinum-selling 1997 debut Much Love, Shola Ama makes a big splash in the AC, R&B-oriented pop market with her United States debut, In Return. Sounding like a cross between Janet Jackson and Emilia, but with softer, more girlish, and more developed vocals, Ama's new CD is packed with pop songs perfectly tailored for 2000. Leaving nothing about her sophomore album to chance, Ama co-wrote most of the songs, collaborating with fellow newcomer Angie Stone and such big names as David Foster and Babyface. Enlisting producers like Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins and D-Influence, she finds instrumentation that accents her cotton-candy vocals, which, luckily, aren't as strained as those of the aforementioned Emilia or the ubiquitous Britney Spears. She sings with sincerity and conviction, often sounding like a heartbroken angel. With only hints of R&B, this is far more a pop album than anything else, though, despite the sheen, it isn't just for teenagers. This is good, old pop, a throwback to '60s girl groups with a contemporary twist. As a bonus, the album also has two hits from Much Love: 'You're the One' and a cover of Randy Crawford's 'You Might Need Somebody.'

Shola Ama In Return Rarity 2016

Yeah, oh, yeah
Shola, ama, mmm, yeah
Mmm, yeah
Imagine if I told you I want you
Imagine if it all came true
Tell me what you would do with me
Would you tell me that you feel the same
Imagine if I told you,that I need you
Would you say, 'Baby, I need you too'
No matter what you do
I know you should be in love with me
Sometimes I find myself locked into
Secret thoughts hoping they come true
Sometimes at night I feel you lying next to me
Baby but these are the things I could never tell you
I can't imagine what you would do
After all you're so far away from me from me
Sometimes it feels just like a fantasy
And I don't know what to do
'Cos it's always been like a dream to me
To find a love so true
But I know it's only make believe
When I'm picturing me and you
But one day I know that you'll be
The one that makes my dreams come true
Imagine if I told you I want you
Imagine if it all came true
Tell me what you would do with me?
Would you tell me that you feel the same?
Imagine if I told you that I need you
Would you say, 'Baby I need you too'
No matter what you do
I know you should be in love with me
There's a feeling so deep inside
Telling me we were meant to be
Praying that someday you will come for me, for me
But till then I'm just day dreaming
Thinking about the way things could be
But it don't matter
'Cos you're still far from me baby
Sometimes I feel just like a fantasy
And I don't know what to do
'Cos it's always been like a dream to me
To find love so true
But I know it's only make believe
When I'm picturing me and you
But one day I know you'll be
The one that makes my dreams come true
Imagine if I told you I want you
Imagine if it all came true
Tell me what you would do with me
Would you tell me that you feel the same?
Imagine if I told you that I need you
Would you say, 'Baby, I need you too'
No matter what you do
I know you should be in love with me
How can you be so far from me, yeah?
How can I keep loving you endlessly?
How can we be so far out of reach?
It's just not the way that I hoped it would be
