Friendly Fire is the second album by the British singer/songwriter Shara Nelson.
[1][2] It was released in 1995 on Cooltempo Records.
[3] The album contains Nelson's UK Top 30 hit, "Rough with the Smooth".
[4] The Irish Times wrote that "Shara Nelson's voice in itself would seduce any listener but when accompanied by superior song writing and pristine production, the results are even more tantalising.
"[8] The Independent noted that "anyone admiring of Portishead's sparse tripped-out soundscapes, but left thirsty by their lack of genuine soul or authenticity, will be quenched by these sumptuous songs, which make as much sense at three in the afternoon as three in the morning.
