This was actually quite a good album, not that I doubted Victoria's abilities, but I hadn't gotten to hear enough of her before to make any accurate pre-judgements. It's too bad it wasn't released here in the U.S, but considering the un-popularity of the Spice Girls over here, I don't know if it would necessarily do that well.

This album, as I said, is great, and is more pop-with-an-R&B-edge than Mel B's which was just straight R&B (also recommended.)

Though this album does have a relatively similar sound for all the songs, it is a catchy feel-good sound that will always have you singing along. (I'm down with the vocodor!)

These are the tracks that, to me, stand out the most:

1/ I'm Not Such An Innocent Girl: Which of course is the snappy debut single which is just chock full of adittude and has sort of a flowing, breezy disco sound to it.

2/ Girlfriend: just a fun, likeable, danceable song that you're guarenteed to enjoy, like at a club or something.

3/ I.O.U: a very sweet ballad for her husband. But before you gag at the word ballad, let me tell you, she makes the R&B ballad something creative to enjoy, as opposed to all that "slow-jam" nonsense, that makes you either want to hide under the couch, smash the radio, or fall asleep whenever you hear it, and makes it, well, what can I say; good.

4/ Midnight Fantasy: Very much like her work with the Spice Girls, only this has a bit more of HER flavour. It's hard to explain. Very good.

5/ I Wish: Great twist on R&B, with some real funky adittude!!

GIRL POWER!

6/ Whatcha Talkin' Bout: Another cool song with a lot of adittude, and a bit more of an interestingly subtle groove, whatever you want to make of that statement.

7/ And finally "Every Part Of Me": An endlessly sweet and tear inducing ballad dedicated to her son, Brooklyn and even includes some of his cute vocalizations! If you aren't moved by this one...I don't know?!

Though all of the songs on this album are great and fit in in their own way, and show great adittude, I wanted to pick some of the big standouts to give you an idea of the real treat you're in store for if you buy this album.

So please do. You surely won't be disappointed.

RECOMENDED!!
