(1993)|"In Session" (also known as "Lisa Stansfield in Session" or "Lisa Stansfield - In Session") is a non-official
album by British pop/soul singerLisa Stansfield , produced and first released bySovereign label, and distributed by Delta Music/Arvato Services, in 1993, and re-released in1996 , though including material recorded by Lisa before 1989.It is in fact an unauthorized early best-of collection, the artist herself did not compile personally, most including previously unreleased songs, in demo form, dating back to the early Eighties, exactly, pre-1986, that is at the time of Stansfield's earlist experiences as a singer, when she neither had started a successful
solo career, nor she was part ofBlue Zone yet, her very first band, in which her husband and collaborator,Ian Devaney , played too, as well asAndy Morris , who, along with them two, also co-wrote Lisa's whole solodebut album , "Affection", much of her secondlong playing work, "Real Love", and thesoundtrack for thefilm "Indecent Proposal ", entitled "In All the Right Places", also included on the singer's third LP, "So Natural" (the first fully realized by the couple Devaney/Stansfield only). Blue Zone formed back in 1986, and agreed to go each their own separate way, so to say, shortly before the time whenColdcut invited Lisa as a guest vocalist on their own smash hit "People Hold On", since a band could not present another band as a guest starring act - hence, Ian, Andy and Lisa's own decision to go on together, crediting the whole thing to Lisa Stansfield only.The unauthorized 14-track collection actually contains pleasant moments of white soul (a genre which was also embraced by a number of other artists in the Eighties, such as
Paul Young ,George Michael andBoy George ), in Stansfield's most typical style, also including her first 3 singles ever: "Alibis" (closing the record), "The Only Way" (opening it), and "Listen to Your Heart" (fifth song in the track listing), whereas either Lisa's fourth single, "I Got a Feeling", and Blue Zone's only modest success, "Jackie", are both omitted.Track listing
