Free Music Notes for A Girl Like Me

Free Music Review: A Giant Step for Baby
Hit: 5 Stars

Although the Spice Girls' new album "Forever" hasn't been very well recieved (I don't see it as a failure, though), there's no stopping or denying the fact that the girls' are talented whether they're together or as soloists. After solo albums from Geri Halliwell (The pleasant offering "Schizophonic"), Melanie C (The above average and credible "Northern Star") and Melanie B (Unfortunately her "Hot" solo wasn't particularly anything good), we are now offered baby spice's solo outing "A Girl Like Me". Emma Bunton should be very pleased with her work. Co-writing all of the tracks, she has created an easy listening, pleasant pop album that is one of the better Spice offerings.

The CD opens with: 1) WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG - I'm sure most of us have heard this tune. A guitar riddled pop offering that will have you singing along in no time.

From there it moves to the similar sounding 2) TAKE MY BREATH AWAY - More upbeat and poppy than WTYSL, but still guitar hooked track that is uplifting and single potential. The chorus alone will ahve you addicted to this tune.

Emma has the kind of voice that would suit any ballad, so no surprises when she belts out the sweet ballad, track 3) A WORLD WITHOUT YOU - Although the title seems a bit Mariah-esque, don't be fooled. It's actually a sweet, midtempo ballad that would be much like somethng you'd hear from the sweet sounding pop queens Britney Spears or Mandy Moore. The chorus is cute and it is yeat another addictive single potential tune.

4) HIGH ON LOVE - Once again the guitar riffs used in this bare some resemblance to tracks 1 and 2, but this is not as good. The only thing letting this tune down is the chorus. But still a nice sounding tune.

The title track 5) A GIRL LIKE ME - Has an early Madonna/Janet Jackson feel to it. Cheeky and cute lyrics make this an instant liking to Emma's younger audience. Also for all the people that liked or still like Spice tracks like "Wannabe".

At this point listeners maybe wondering when there will be a change of pace and I think from track 6 onwards theres a difference. 6) SPELL IT O.U.T. - This instantly likeable tune crosses many boarders with pop, dance, balladry and R&B all mixing. The chorus very much dominates it 3minute+ run but it's one you'll be singing along to in no time.

7) SUNSHINE ON A RAINY DAY - Emma was worried that since she had already covered Eddie Brickell's hit "What I Am", that another cover would be tiresome. Her take on this joyful tune is well done and will be familiar to all, especially Australians since our own Christine Anu covered it.

8) BEEN THERE DONE THAT - One of the best tunes on this album is this slinky R&B tune. Something like this would have sat perfectly on "Forever". But Emma carries on her own, with anohter liekable and dancey tune.

The Spice Girls explored motown with their tune "Stop" (From "Spiceworld") and it seems Emmma has taken a liking to it. 9) BETTER BE CAREFUL - Anyone who liked "Stop", or the S Club 7 tunes "Reach" and "You're My Number One" should like this.

10) WE'RE NOT GONNA SLEEP TONIGHT - Latin music is big right now and plenty of non pure latin artists are successing at it also. Much like "Spice Up Your Life"(Spice Girls) or moreso Geri Halliwell's "Mi Chico Latino" this is another highlight with cute lyrics, a catchy chorus and the sexy flamenco guitars burning up the background.

11) SHE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE - Another R&B track that mixes some spicy spanish guitar into it also.

To finsih off "A Girl Like Me" Emma chose 12) WHAT I AM - Her collaboration with Tin Tin Out. A tune we should all be familiar with.

Overall this is a great album. More Geri and early Spice than it is Mel C and Mel B, although all areas of music the girls have separately chosen have been meddled together for this successful solo offering. Now we just have to wait for Victoria, and the upcoming second solo effort from Geri Halliwell "Scream If You Wanna Go Faster" (Featuring "It's Raining Men").
