Power of a Woman

Power of a Woman is the second studio album by the British R&B vocal group Eternal, released in October 1995. It was the band's first album without former member Louise who left the group to pursue a solo career. According to Billboard, as of February 1997, Power of a Woman has sold two million copies worldwide. In June 2019, Power of a Woman was ranked at number 25 on the Official Charts Company's list of the "top 40 biggest girl band studio albums of the last 25 years".

Overview

The album was a success and charted at number 6 in the UK Albums Chart in 1995. Eternal worked with new producers, giving them a slightly more R&B feel than their previous album Always & Forever. Power of a Woman received a positive reaction from critics, and the album was later re-released with a bonus disc featuring dance remixes.
Power of a Woman gave Eternal another 4 top 10 singles, the title track, "I Am Blessed", and remixed versions of "Good Thing" and "Secrets". "It Will Never End" was planned to be the fifth release, but this was later cancelled due to Eternal releasing "Someday", which was the theme tune to Disney's 1996 film The Hunchback of Notre Dame. "Who Are You?" was released as a single in Japan only. "Who Are You?" was used in a South East Asian Toyota advertisement, and reached no. 1 on the Japanese singles chart.
In 1996 the album was re-released as a two CD set. Disc one contains the original album and disc two is titled The Number One Dance Mixes and contains six remixes of previous Eternal singles.
The Australian version of Power of a Woman includes their debut single "Stay" as a bonus track at the end of the album.
