Rise is the third studio album by English singer and songwriter Gabrielle. It was released by Go! Beat Records on 18 October 1999 in the United Kingdom. The album produced several successful singles, including the UK top 10 hit " Sunshine," the UK number-one title track, the top 10 follow-up "When a Woman," the UK top 20 single "Should I Stay" and the later hit "Out of Reach" which earned Platinum certification and achieved strong international chart performance.

Critics generally praised Rise as a polished and sophisticated adult pop and soul album, highlighting Gabrielle’s smooth vocal performance and the production’s blend of classic soul, orchestration, and contemporary influences, though some noted inconsistencies and weaker tracks. Commercially, it was a major success, debuting at number one on the UK Albums Chart, achieving 4× Platinum status, and becoming Gabrielle's biggest international successh, with strong chart performances and certifications across several European territories.

Promotion

[edit]

Rise was preceded by the single "Sunshine," which became a UK top 10 hit. The album's follow-up single, "Rise," was released in 2000 and became another hit single for Gabrielle's biggest hit since "Dreams" (1993), reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart and achieving strong international success, including top 10 placements in Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Austria, Switzerland, and Sweden, while also charting in Australia and Germany.

The follow-up single "When a Woman" continued the album's commercial performance, reaching the UK top 10 and charting across several European territories, though with more modest international impact "Should I Stay" was released later in 2000 as the third single from the album and charted in the UK top 20. In 2001, "Out of Reach" was released as part of the Bridget Jones's Diary soundtrack and later included on the reissued edition of Rise. It became one of Gabrielle's most successful singles, reaching number 4 in the UK and achieving Platinum certification, while also charting strongly in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and across Europe.

Charlotte Robinson of PopMatters highlighted Rise as a strong adult pop record, praising its blend of "orchestrated pop, adult contemporary ballads, and slick soul" and Gabrielle's "smooth, relaxed vocals" and expressive delivery. She commended the production for combining traditional pop and soul influences with contemporary touches, arguing that elements such as hip-hop beats, strings, and acoustic textures help keep the album "fresh and interesting."[5] Ming Kang from MTV Asia similarly praised the album's use of "retrospective beats" alongside modern production, particularly on "When a Woman," suggesting that Gabrielle's voice and "old-school soul" sensibility suit its smooth, club-oriented sound.[2]

AllMusic critic Jose F. Promis characterised the album as "sophisticated, mellow British soul-pop" with a light 1960s influence, describing the it overall as "a good album."[1] Q editor Paul Elliott declared Rise as Gabrielle's strongest album, crediting Johnny Dollar's production for its polished and cohesive sound. He observed that while tracks such as "Falling" and "When a Woman" were "horribly contrived," the album's slower material better suited Gabrielle's "warm, breathy vocals."[4] NME was more critical, describing Rise as largely pleasant but uneven, noting that much of the album was considered "disappointingly uninspired and lazily derivative." However, the magazine still acknowledged Gabrielle's vocal performance as retaining "that superstar quality," marked by "vulnerability and sincerity" that continues to define her appeal.[3]

Commercial performance

[edit]

Rise was a major commercial success for Gabrielle and marked her international breakthrough as an album-selling artist, entering the UK Albums Chart at number one, while also topping the UK R&B Albums Chart.[6] It became her first and only UK chart-topping album and went on to achieve 4× Platinum certification in the United Kingdom, with certified sales of 1.2 million copies.[7]

Internationally, Rise achieved moderate success across Europe and selected overseas markets, though it did not match its UK performance. It peaked at number 6 in Ireland,[8] number 7 in Norway,[9] number 9 in New Zealand,[10] number 17 in Austria,[11] number 19 in Germany,[12] number 19 in Switzerland,[13] and number 23 in the Netherlands,[14] while reaching number 116 in Australia.[15] The album also received Gold certifications in Germany and Switzerland and Platinum status in New Zealand,[7][16] alongside broader European sales exceeding one million copies.[17]
