  This Album '' Open ''<br>(2004)


Open is Shaznay Lewis ' debut album as a solo artist and it was released on July 19 , 2004 . Shaznay was formerly part of and the major songwriter of All Saints .


ABOUT THE ALBUM

The title ''Open'' was Shaznay's decision during the time she was recording in the studio because she was 'opened' to many new ideas at the time.

It features two singles: '' Never Felt Like This Before '' and '' You ''. There was an announcement saying that Shaznay was going release her 3rd single ''Nasty Boy'' in March 2005 , but that was just a rumour.

It is worth noting that the track #3 was originally called "Never Felt Like This Before" and the single and video has been released under that name as well, however on the album the spelling has been changed to "I Never Felt Like This Before". It is nevertheless the same song.

There was also an additional track called "Don't Know What To Say", however it was removed from the album before it was confirmed. The song was removed as it was said to have been a weak song in reference to it's title. However, this song is not weak as the lyrics are most accurate as it's all about writers block.

The final track "Now You're Gone" was originally called "Crying" but it was changed before the album was confirmed. It was changed due to the fact that the title "Crying" was not as a strong message that suited the song. Whereas when Shaznay sings, "Now You're Gone" it's more meaningful. The song has been released on the Shaznay Lewis Album Sampler which features 5 songs which are taken from her album Open, however "Mr Dawg" and "You" are both rough versions which are different to actual version (both vocally and melody).
