Shelter is an album by The Brand New Heavies, released in 1997 on the Delicious Vinyl record label. It is the only album by the Brand New Heavies to feature singer-songwriter Siedah Garrett as a member of the band, joining them in 1996 and leaving in early 1998 to concentrate on her own songwriting. Single releases With Garrett as part of the Brand New Heavies they enjoyed their only UK top 10 hit with a cover of the Carole King-penned song "You've Got a Friend", originally made famous by James Taylor. It reached number 9 when released as the third single from the album. Their cover did not appear on initial pressings of the US version of Shelter but was added to later pressings after the band's record label Delicious Vinyl secured distribution from Bertelsmann Music Group. The album also contains the hit "Sometimes", which peaked at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart when released in 1997. One of the remixes of "Sometimes" featured the rap vocals of Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest. In 2015, production team Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis revealed that the remix done by J Dilla which featured Q-Tip was the inspiration behind the sound of Janet Jackson's 1997 single "Got 'til It's Gone". "You Are the Universe" and "Shelter" were the other singles from the album, reaching numbers 21 and 31 respectively in the UK Singles Chart.

Notable quotes

“Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.”
— George W. Bush in his "Address to the Nation" (September 11, 2001)
“I read somewhere that the tallest buildings in a town reflect that society’s values; if so, this one screamed that money mattered and beauty didn’t.”
— Stephen Dedman, The Devotee, in David G. Hartwell (ed.) Year's Best SF 6, p. 163 (Originally published in Eidolon magazine, Autumn 2000)
“Life is chaotic, dangerous, and surprising. Buildings should reflect that.”
— Frank Gehry in: Jason K. Miller, ‎Susan Lauzau (2002) Frank Gehry. p. 6
“I knew, as everyone knows, that the easiest way to attract a crowd is to let it be known that at a given time and a given place some one is going to attempt something that in the event of failure will mean sudden death. That's what attracts us to the man who paints the flagstaff on the tall building, or to the 'human fly' who scales the walls of the same building.”
— Harry Houdini As quoted in The Life and Many Deaths of Harry Houdini‎ (1993) by Ruth Brandon, p. 153
“I do not believe that ever any building was truly great, unless it had mighty masses, vigorous and deep, of shadow mingled with its surface.”
— John Ruskin, The Seven Lamps of Architecture (1849), chapter III, paragraph 24.
“To be a man is to be responsible: to be ashamed of miseries you did not cause; to be proud of your comrades' victories; to be aware, when setting one stone, that you are building a world.”
— Antoine de Saint Exupéry Wind, Sand and Stars, (1939), p. 93
