My Cherie

My Cherie is the twelfth album by Scottish singer Sheena Easton, released in 1995 on MCA Records. The album consists of adult pop songs. The title track was issued as a single but failed to chart. Other tracks include "You've Learned to Live Without Me" by Diane Warren, "Please Don't Be Scared", and "Crazy Love".
The album marked Easton's reunion with producer Christopher Neil, who worked on her first three albums.
The songs "Flower in the Rain" and "Dance Away the Blues" were both used in a TV episode of "The [Outer Limits (1995 TV series)|The Outer Limits]" entitled "Falling Star", featuring Easton as a faded rock star.
"Flower in the Rain" was co-written by Easton and released as a single in France.

Critical reception

Billboards review in their issue dated 25 February 1995 stated, "Easton previews her forthcoming album with a swinging ballad that sways with lush, retro-R&B rhythms. Easton sounds as good as ever. Producer Denny Diante surrounds her with brassy horns and swirling background vocals. In all, a solid contender for Top 40, AC and urban level play."
