Water to the Soul
Water to the Soul is the 1992 debut album from Colorhaus, a duo starring Phil Radford and Australian country vocalist Sherrié Austin. Produced by Bob Mitchell, "Innocent Child", the hit single from the album, rose to No.50 on Billboard after being presented on March 26 of that same year. The song was also No.10 in airplay at KDWB in Minneapolis, Minnesota in June 1992, was in rotation on Friday Night Videos at the same time, ranked No.36 on Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 and was featured on Disc 8 of Windswept Pacific, a compilation album by Longitude Records.
Critical reception
Steven McDonald of AllMusic stated that Austin "hasn't quite settled on a style yet, and wanders from Kate Bush to Christina Amphlett, but her breathy voice has a nice seductive edge when she's going with the flow". Chuck Eddy described the album's music as "nonsensical" and wrote that it had "madly manipulative hooks".
