In 2001, American R&B singing sensation Sunshine Anderson had the R&B world at her feet with the incredible hit single ‘Heard It All Before’ and the gold-certified debut album ‘Your Woman’ but the unexpected disintegration of her record label Soulife Records (an imprint of Atlantic Records) which then led her to sign directly with Atlantic, the 2004 merger between Warner Bros. and Atlantic Records which left Sunshine in no mans land and the not well thought out signing to Matthew Knowles’ Music World Entertainment record label meant that her sophomore album Sunshine at Midnight not only took six years to be released but was poorly promoted as it crashed and burned on the US charts and failed to register in our minds. Sunshine Anderson was fast deteriorating into R&B obscurity. Fast forward to 2010 and Ms. Anderson is well and truly back to winning ways with the release of her third studio album The Sun Shines Again which sees her reunited with long time producer Mike City (former Soulife Records A&R and Vice President) who produced the bulk of her debut album. They are back together again to rekindle the same kind of energy and chemistry that was evident in 2001’s ‘Your Woman’ and have brought it on this succinct 10-track return to form for the almost forgotten Sunshine Anderson. Do not get me wrong, The Sun Shines Again is certainly not just another ‘Your Woman’ even though they might conjure up the same reminiscent feeling of some good and proper contemporary '90s R&B music that you’ve been missing.
