AMG Review of Brave New Hope

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

Brave New Hope is an EP that emphasizes Basia's club leanings, featuring remixes of "Cruising for Bruising" and "Until You Come Back to Me." It's an enjoyable listen, though it gives a portrait of the singer that isn't entirely accurate. Basia always wanted to be more sophisticated and not be another dance-pop diva. Nevertheless, she is quite good at being a diva, as Brave New Hope proves. For fans, the EP is a nice diversion.
