The album reached No. 4 on the UK Albums Chart. The title track, Stop!, reached UK No. 4 (1988) and became an international hit, establishing Brown as one of the most immediately distinctive and vocally powerful British female artists of the late 1980s. This Feeling was also released as a single. The 12-track album demonstrates Brown's ability to combine soul, pop, blues and rock influences with a vocal of extraordinary range and emotional directness, giving her a distinctive position in the late-1980s British music landscape that drew on her family's deep musical heritage.
Stand-Out Tracks

UK No. 4 (1988).
- This Feeling — A warm, mid-tempo soul-pop track that gives the album one of its most melodically generous and emotionally direct moments; its combination of a warm, contemporary production and Brown's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal.
- Walking Back to Me — The album's opening track and a confident statement of intent; a driving, rhythmically confident pop-rock song that establishes Brown's vocal personality and the album's musical range from the very first note.
- Ball and Chain — A driving, blues-influenced track that gives the album one of its most immediately energetic and musically ambitious moments; Brown's vocal is completely uninhibited and the production gives the song a sustained energy that demonstrates her ability to inhabit a harder blues register with complete conviction.
