Free Music Review: Vol. 12
Hit: 4 Stars

The 12th 'Now!' could use a little revamping, some trimming here and there and maybe even some alternate versions of the better songs. First they should have cut out some of the fluff, like 'Angel' by Amanda Perez and 'Luv U Better' by LL Cool J...I mean don't get me wrong, I love LL but this song was the start of his downslide. And Amanda Perez just is a talentless puff of crap that should have never landed a record deal. Then there's some good songs that could have used a little spice. There's a great remix of 'Bump, BUmp, Bump' out there, that would have been prefered, and there's a killer version of 'Made You Look' by Nas that would have been appreciated...but this version is still hot.

Jennifer Lopez has given us great songs in the past but 'Jenny from the Block', while hot in the beginning, has lost a lot of steam. Again, the remix with Fat Joe would have been a beter choice for the final cut. At least it would have added some flavor to her dish. Nelly's 'Air Force Ones' had some fire to it, but it didn't hold my interest for very long. I did however really like Snoop's 'Beautiful' and was glad to see it included.

The highlights are two very different songs. First up is Justin's solo effort 'Like I Love You' which is lightyears ahead of his former bandmate J.C. Chasez crap of a single 'Blowin' Me Up'. Justin brought out his inner soul and thrives on his single, while J.C. falls into cliche and becomes another failed solo artist trying to capitalize on previous fame. Justin reinvents himself, steps away from N'Sync and becomes a real artist. The next highlight is Vanessa Carlton's beautiful 'Pretty Baby' which has every touch of class and vulnerability and becomes a beautifully brilliant track worth multiple listens.

Dru Hill deliver as does Aaliyah (RIP), and Kelly Rowland would have really stolen spotlight for her debut solo single 'Stole' if it weren't for the fact that Beyonce serves up along side her boyfriend Jay-Z on one of the best tracks here '03 Bonnie & Clyde'...and it didn't help that Beyonce has never looked as good as she did in that video...

As far as the closing rock tracks, I would have scraped 3 Doors Down's piece of overhyped overrated garbage, while sticking with 'Always' which was a turning point for Saliva and keeping 'The Red' by Chevelle since, even though it's so overplayed, it adds a lot to the presence of this album being the heaviest and most interesting song presented here.

Now That's What I Call Music! 12 Poster

The pop music business just goes `round in circles, with cohesive, track-deep albums once again taking a back seat to uber-marketed pop star singles. But Virgin's Now That's What I Call Music! series of hit compilations have given consumers a smart avenue for having it both ways. This 21-track collection revolves around a hip-hop dominated, groove-savvy collection of 2002 chart fodder that kicks off with the smartly segued duo of Jay-Z/Beyonce Knowles' "`03 Bonnie & Clyde" and B2K/P/ Diddy's "Bump, Bump, Bump," and J-Lo's slinky "Jenny From the Block" before showcasing a strong slate of urban vets (LL Cool J, Snoop Dog, Nas) and newcomers like Nivea and Nelly. The latter's "Air Force Ones" is a playful standout. But Telepopmusik's dreamy electro-pop hit cum Mitsubishi car commercial icon "Breath" also heralds the collection's turn into more expansive territory that spans some nouveau R&B, the energetic contemporary country, and bright pop. The bracing modern rock of Chevelle, Saliva, and 3 Doors Down bring up the rear, echoing the genre's general fade from prominence. --Jerry McCulley
