I just upgraded my cassette copy of this album to CD. Shara Nelson is, of course, best know for her vocals on one of the greatest songs of all time: Massive Attack's Unfinished Sympathy.
After parting company with the Bristollian collective, she went solo and Friendly Fire is the second album she released under her own name. It's a little bit more soul than Unfinished Sympathy, but the Massive Attack influence is obvious.
It gave birth to one hit single, Rough With the Smooth.
Her wikipedia page claims another album is on the way.... It would be good to see her get her dues as she was unfortunate to be around at a time when more soulful vocalists like her were often ignored.
