So Lucky is Renee's 9th solo album and 2nd album to be issued in the USA where it was released on the Portrait label. Like it's American predecessor on Polydor, it was retitled Renee Geyer for the International market. It was co-produced by former Beach Boy Ricky Fataar and she was backed by The Bump Band who were also backing Bonnie Raitt at around the same time. This led to a slight change in Renee's music, featuring a rockier, guitar based R & B but with elements of reggae & salsa rhythms also. The latter was evident on the album's first sngle and Renee's biggest hit, Say I Love You
