 The release of the album in September coincided with a new rock-influenced image for the singer.The funk-influenced single "Ooh Baby" failed to make the UK top 10 and marked the start of the singer's decline in popularity, while the album itself reached number 2 on the UK Albums Chart, and although it spent 25 weeks on the chart, this was less than its predecessors.Critics are divided on the album's merits, but the response has been generally favourable over time.
