Ok. I’m getting impatient. It’s been 7 long years since the release of Deb’s last album of original material (the aces MYOB) and 5 since her album of Broadway covers. I need a new album! To be fair, it’s not like she has been lazy - she’s been reality showing it, getting her bits out, doing concerts up and down the land and being a right west end wendy in the theatre district. And she’s also had a fair output of songs, that all put together would make a somewhat incohesive but ultimately satisfying album that I’m going to call Naked. Actually she probably would have kicked it all off with that track - released to tie in with her Playboy shoot, it was a smart slice of frothy pop with a great hook and some lovely piano work. That would have been followed up with a double A single of Someone You Love (for the O’Neill Bros album) and an acoustic remake of Lost In Your Eyes. Then there was the lovely “we belong together”-esque Sounds Like Love from Coffee Date, the movie, and a duet with Jordan Knight (Say Goodbye) that I wasn’t overly thrilled with at the time, but has since grown on me. Actually the sound of those songs merges very well together and it would have been a nice contrast from the dancier MYOB album to see the softer side of Sears, um Deborah… Here’s how it should have gone down…

1. Naked (single release)
2. Famous (website release)
3. Rich Girl (website release)
4. Sounds Like Love (from OST Coffee Date)
5. Someone You Love (from O’Neill Bros album)
6. Say Goodbye (duet with Jordan Knight)
7. Lost In Your Eyes (2005 acoustic remake from O’Neill Bros album)
8. Portrait of Loneliness (from Japanese tribute album)
9. Not That Girl (from Steven Sondheim tribute)
10. Song of Hope (from Aids Awareness Concert)
11. Christmas Without You (single release)
12. Naked (acoustic version)
