What The Critics Say
Puerto Rican-born Wilma Cosme, known as Safire, brings a collection of her hits, new songs, and remixes to get into the contemporary club scene, starting with a new version of her first smash "Don't Break My Heart," produced by Grammy nominated Tony Moran, getting along with dance/pop singer Cynthia on Can You Stand the Rain," showing a different side of herself while performing the freestyle ballad "I'm Feeling It Too," without forgetting her 1988 hit single "Boy I've Been Told," composed by Latin star Marc Anthony. Safire's Bringing Back the Groove goes through her career, bringing back her best. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

What The Critics Say
An erratic, but sometimes arresting second album by a vocalist with little name recognition but above-average talents. Safire had done some session work in the mid-'80s before getting a shot at being a lead artist. She sang without pretension, put soul and energy into her delivery, and made mundane tracks interesting, but she couldn't salvage another faceless major label release. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
What The Critics Say
The debut album by the hyphenated vocalist who was physically short (assuming the photo on her album wasn't deceptive) but vocally imposing. She had range, power, and soul, and wasn't afraid to belt out a song or stretch out a lyric. Unfortunately, she didn't really have great (or even good, for the most part) material to embellish. The results didn't get her solo career off to a good start. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
