Judging by the style of a fair proportion of the videos on Changing Facesyou would think that Mrs Redknapp (nee Nurding) is a futuristic, Barbarella-style pop chick. From her second solo video, "In Walked Love" (where she replicates the look of Kylie circa 1995) through to "Arms Around the World" and "Beautiful Inside", space-age settings and costumes abound. Admittedly it's rather strange labelling Louise as Miss Modernist, but take a look at the video to "Let's Go Round Again" where she's running around a futuristic factory complex, in a tight red leather suit--it's all rather progressive to say the least.

Despite such raunchiness in later productions, and suggestive titles such as "Naked", it is not until her fourth single, "Undivided Love", that a male romantic figure is introduced (this was also around the time she became a Loadedmagazine pin-up fave). Perhaps it was the record company's initial desire to nurture Louise as a wholesome girl-next-door figure that resulted in the poor lass having to star single-handedly in the early videos.

Forgetting about the love interests and the futuristic themes the best videos are the message-laden "2 Faced" (complete with a one-dimensional supporting cast) and Reservoir Dogs-style promo for "Stuck in the Middle With You". Symbolically reflecting its title this collection traces the various guises of Louise over the years--watch her mature from an angel-faced songstress to the stunning, confident performer of today.

On the DVD:attractively laid out, the menus are easy and fun to use, with the main menu allowing you to play the videos, browse the photo gallery or connect to an exclusive Web link. The video sub-menu allows you to select whether you want Louise to introduce each of the videos, play them back-to-back (with no introduction), or choose to watch them individually. If the videos are played individually, another sub-menu pops up with the highest chart position and year of release. Unlike the CD version, the DVD fails to include any of Louise's Eternalvideos ("Just a Step from Heaven", "Oh Baby I" and "Stay"). The photo gallery is also rather limited, including just eight shots of Mrs Redknapp from the "Stuck in the Middle" video, but this inadequacy is compensated by the DVD's glossy insert which provides a comprehensive Louise cover anthology. --John Galilee
