Open (Shaznay Lewis album) The album (without any promotion) seems to have been re-released, as "Don't Know What to Say" is now an added track on the album. This change can be seen on the HMV website. When the album was first released, this song was not included. The final track "Now You're Gone" was originally called "Crying" but was changed before the album was confirmed. The song has been released on the "Shaznay Lewis Album Sampler" which features 5 songs taken from "Open"; however, "Mr. Dawg" and "You" are both rough demos different from the album versions (both vocally and melodically).
