Netherlands-born singer Amber's (a.k.a. Marie-Claire Cremers) self-titled
album finds an open seat in the school of dance-pop classics. Produced
by the Berman Brothers responsible for the overly formulaic Real McCoy
album Another
Night, this CD reveals the brothers' more inventive potential.
The tracks on Amber build out of a classic disco framework,
adding currents of trance ("Sexual [Li Da Di]") or techno punctuations
("Don't Wanna Stop"). Occasional acoustic-guitar licks add an organic
element to "Above the Clouds" and the dance-mix cover of Gordon
Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind." Amber digs deep to evoke the
R&B soul that flavors her vocals, at her funkiest, emulating Taylor
Dayne. She sings of love, peace, and unity with a
ring-around-the-roses lyrical simplicity, but hey, this is dance music,
not Dylan. Casual fans of Erasure,
the Pet
Shop Boys, Crystal
Waters, or Sunscreem
will eat this up.

Amber Biography
Growing up in Germany with a family background that was enriched in
classical music -- her dad being an opera singer while her mom being a
composer, singer, and piano teacher -- Amber knew that her eventual
profession would involve music one way or another. With several years of
vocal training that followed and sometime spent as a studio musician,
Amber had the chance to collaborate with the Berman Brothers -- aka Real
McCoy -- and release the single "This Is the Night," which not only
became an international hit, but it also made it to almost every dance
party compilation. After her debut full-length under the same name of
her hit with Real McCoy, Amber would soon release a handful of
additional singles through Tommy Boy Records, this includes 1996's
"Colour of Love," 1997's "One More Night," and "Sexual (Li Da Di)" in
1999. Her second self-titled album followed in 1999. A remix album of
her works was released in 2000, with remixes by Deep Dish, Junior
Vasquez, and Hex Hector. In 2002 she returned with her third full-length
album, Naked, and two chart-topping dance hits, "Yes!" and "The Need to
Be Naked."
