Shola Ama In Return Rar

1. In my opinion In Return' is a great album because Shola reveals a mature and sophisticated side of herself. The best songs on the album are the up-tempo, dance songs 'That Thing' and 'Surrender' and the incredible ballads 'My Heart' 'Run To Me' and Superficial Fantasy' which show that Miss Shola Ama can easily be a contender in the US R&B industry.

Career[edit]

At 15, Ama was singing to herself on a platform at Hammersmith tube station, and was overheard by Kwame Kwaten, a producer at the FreakStreet record label.^[2] In 1995, an unknown independent label released a single titled 'Celebrate', which was a ballad produced by D'Influence. Although the single was not a commercial success, it did draw attention to Shola Ama as an artist. On her 16th birthday, she signed a recording contract with WEA.

The single 'You're the One I Love' was her first single release for WEA in 1996; it barely made an impact on the charts, only managing to reach No. 85. Her second WEA single, 'You Might Need Somebody', remains her biggest hit. This Turley Richards cover reached No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart^[3] in April 1997. It remained in the top 40 for almost two months, becoming one of 1997's biggest hits. A re-release of 'You're the One I Love' followed in August 1997 and reached #3.^[3] Her third single 'Who's Loving My Baby' was released in November 1997 and reached #13.^[3] At the age of 18, Shola Ama released her debut album Much Love (1997).

In May 1997, Shola performed her single 'You Might Need Somebody' at Wembley Stadium as part of the build-up to the rugby league Challenge Cup Final.

On the success of the album, Shola Ama won a Brit Award for Best British Female and two MOBO Awards for Best Newcomer and Best R&B Act.^[4]
