Overview

The album was a success and charted at number 5 in the UK Albums Chart in 1995. Eternal worked with new producers, giving them a slightly more R&B feel than their previous album Always & Forever. It was this album that they met BeBe Winans who would later help Eternal achieve their first and only UK number one with the duet "I Wanna Be the Only One". Power of a Woman received a positive reaction from critics, and the album was later re-released with a bonus disc featuring dance remixes.[1]

Power of a Woman gave Eternal another 4 top 10 singles, "Power of a Woman", "I Am Blessed", a remixed version of "Good Thing" and "Secrets". "It Will Never End" was planned to be the fifth release, but this was later cancelled due to Eternal releasing "Someday", which was the theme tune to Disney's 1996 film The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
