ReBoot (Sam Brown album)

Speaking of the album, Brown said in 2000, "The first thing I should say is I decided for the first time I would produce at least part of my own album [alone] – although I'd done it for my mum. It's a big step and I didn't really have that much confidence. But my brother Pete was so positive." A single, "In Light of All That's Gone Before", was released from the album. Brown said of the track in 2000, "When the band first played this song it sounded like Katrina and the Waves. That wasn't the idea at all because I'd got much more into blues and soul having worked with Jools a lot and I wanted a more contemporary vibe so I ended up doing it with samples and vocals." Brown embarked on a British tour to promote ReBoot. ==Critical reception==

Upon its release, Music Week wrote, "Reboot is her fifth album and continues to show her abilities as a singer, though at times the material does not live up to her voice." The Herald said, "'In Light of All That's Gone Before' is perhaps the most radio-friendly release [from Brown] for a while and while it may not see her on Saturday morning TV with Ant and Dec, it's a good hook into the album." Worcester News described "In Light of All That's Gone Before" as a "cracking" single. ==Track listing==
