Some 24 years later, this is one of my favorite Sheena albums. Sheena's vocals are always excellent and I think the pairing with producer, Nile Rodgers, made for a great mix. I often think that if certain music as this had gotten wider exposure, it would have sold a lot more copies than it did. Radio is conservative, in my opinion as to what they play. There should be stations that venture out of the safety box and make more great music known to the general population.
I have been a huge fan of Sheenas since the beginning. Do You was a wonderful change of direction in her career. We get to hear a more upbeat Sheena on this disc. Nile Rodgers proved to be an asset to this project. Any Sheena fan should be able to see the great tunes on this one. This catalogue of songs out shines Madonna in every way. There is no comparison of the two. Sheena has a beautiful voice, Madonna does not. This is one of those cds you can put in, and let it play all the way through.I highly recommend this one. Enjoy.
Here is another great cd from Sheena Easton at the time when this cd came out i was wishing that maybe she and Olivia Newton John would ever do an duet so far they haven't but this is indeed an great cd.

This album deserved to be a smash. I can't believe I didn't even know it existed until recently. I've always loved Sheena's voice and had the pleasure of seeing her perform in Vegas (she is just as beautiful in person). I have a lot of her cds, but this one really stands out because of Nile Rodgers' superb production. It has a similar sound to another Nile Rodgers project, Madonna's Like a Virgin. "Can't Wait Till Tomorrow" has a relentless pop melody and frenzied guitars reminiscent of Madonna's "Dress You Up." But this isn't all derivative of Like a Virgin. Do You has its own unique sound, silky and sophisticated. The title track is irresistible and Sheena's vocals are solid as a rock. "Magic of Love" and "Kisses" add a sensual, down-tempo vibe to an otherwise energetic album. There isn't a weak track here. Do You has inspired me to explore more of Sheena's lesser-known catalog.
"Do You" is hands down my favorite Sheena Easton album to date, and the title song one of my favorite dance-pop tracks of all time, but they were both relative commercial disappointments (if you can call gold status disappointing) compared to her previous outings at the time of release in 1985. Therefore, I held little hope out that this pumpin' LP would see digital reissue, but EMI has seen fit to reissue the entire Easton catalog, including this Nile Rodgers helmed masterwork. Every song here is red hot and smokin', with bright, indelible melodies and sharp uptown arrangements, anchored by Sheena's most joyous wailing ever. The cover of Martha Reeves and the Vandella's "Jimmy Mack" is, for once, not superfluous; it holds its own with the state-of-the-art songs it is surrounded by. The Rodgers influence is heavily felt here; in fact, you could call this The Great Lost Chic Album, but with Sheena Easton on lead vocals. There is not one cut that falls below excellent on the entire album. Particular favorites are the ecstatic "Don't Break My Heart," smoky "Kisses" and sensual "Magic of Love;" the four dance remixes that make up the bonus cuts here are all highly listenable even away from the dance floor. This is the one Sheena Easton album that was truly ahead of its time.
