+'''''So Lucky''''' is the seventh [[studio album]] by Australian musician [[Renée Geyer]]. The album was released in November 1981 and includes Geyer's highest charting single "[[Say I Love You (song)|Say I Love You]]" which peaked at number 5 in Australia and number 1 in New Zealand.
-'''''So Lucky''''' is [[Renée Geyer]]'s ninth solo album and the second to be issued in the United States where it was released on the [[Portrait Records|Portrait]] label. Like its American predecessor on Polydor, it was retitled ''Renee Geyer'' for the international market. It was co-produced by former [[The Beach Boys|Beach Boy]] [[Ricky Fataar]], and she was backed by The Bump Band who were also backing [[Bonnie Raitt]] at around the same time. This led to a slight change in Geyer's music, featuring a rockier, guitar based R&B but with elements of reggae and salsa rhythms also. The latter was evident on the album's first single and Geyer's biggest hit, "Say I Love You".
+The album was released by [[Portrait Records]] in the [[United States of America]] in 1982 under the title '''Reneé Geyer'''. The songs were re-ordered. It was her second album released in that territory following the [[Polydor Records]]' ''[[Moving Along]]'' in 1977, which was also titled ''Reneé Geyer''.
