So Natural is the third solo album by British pop / soul singer Lisa Stansfield, released in 1993, on BMG/Arista label. It is her very first musical work entirely realized by the singer herself along with her husband and collaborator Ian Devaney, after Andy Morris left, who co-wrote and co-produced with them Lisa Stansfield's first two solo albums, 1989 "Affection", and 1992 "Real Love". The only one track co-written by the three of them, included on this third 1993 long playing is the very first single taken from it, i.e. In All the Right Places, also included in the soundtrack to the "Indecent Proposal" movie, starring Demi Moore and Michael Douglas. Two additional singles were taken from the LP, namely the title track So Natural and one of the few disco-dancey tunes on the album, Little Bit of Heaven. A further single is represented by Dream Away, a duet with American star Babyface (who co-wrote, for example, Madonna's ballad Take a Bow), which was not included on the original 1993 album track listing, but only features in the 2003 remastered edition in digipak of the work, also containing the previously unreleased B Side Gonna Try It Anyway and the title track So Natural «No Preservatives Mix by Roger Sanchez». The album was never released in the U.S., where Dream Away reached Number 95 in the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart. Another track of the period which did not feature on the album was Make It Right: also released in the U.S., it entered both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and the Hot Dance Club Play Charts, peaking at Number 64 and 46, respectively.
