Sharon O'Neill is the second studio album by New Zealand singer and songwriter Sharon O'Neill. Sharon O'Neill peaked at No. 5 in New Zealand in March 1980. The album was released in Australia in August 1980 under the titled Words, with the inclusion of "How Do You Talk to Boys".
CBS Records' manager John McCready recruited US producer Jay Lewis to work on the album. McCready recalls, “Jay with his brilliant production managed to enhance Sharon’s wonderful songs.”
Gordon Campbell from the NZ Listener said “There are at least four tracks on Sharon O'Neill that are the equal of anything Linda Ronstadt is capable of. Two songs "Asian Paradise" and "Southern Blues" are marvelously evocative mood pieces.” adding “CBS deserve a lot of credit for having both the interest and the courage to put up the $30,000 that it took to make this album.”[1]
