Stronger (Kate Ryan album)

Stronger is the second studio album by Belgian singer Kate Ryan, released in 2004 in Europe and 2005 in the United States.

Stronger includes the hits singles "Only If I", "The Promise You Made", and "Goodbye".

Critical reception
AllMusic editor John Lucas rated the album four out of five stars. He noted Alive was "notably less club-oriented than its predecessors, instead aiming for a modern pop sound" and called it her by "far her strongest, lacking the filler that weighed down her first two. Indeed almost any of the 13 tracks could have been strong singles in their own right, something that could certainly not have been said of Different or Stronger [...] All in all, Alive is an underrated set."

Track listing
"Hurry Up" was produced by Martin Hanzén and Jimmy Thörnfeldt; all other songs were produced by AJ Duncan and Phil Wilde
