Free Music Notes for I Wanna Have Some Fun
Free Music Review: This is one of the greatest works ever did in popmusic
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is TOP. Many dance tracks (e.g.the legendary "Iwanna have some fun"), a lot of really dancy rocksongs (e.g."your house or my house") and ballads like "Out of hands" make this album one of the best in this decade. Samantha Fox shows that she is definitely a talented singer.Free Music Review: Excellent
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is another work of art by Samantha. The best dance songs are Love House and the title song I Wanna Have Some Fun. Confession, which she co-wrote, should have been a single. Her remake of I Only Wanna Be With You is better than the original.Free Music Review: A Third Staple

When Samantha Fox released this album in the late 80's, she reached the peak of her popularity. It spawned three succesful singles (the title track, "I Only Wanna Be With You" and "Love House"), and heralded her first-ever world tour.What surprises the most with this album is how good it still sounds today. The big variety of producers makes it for quality listening, and it's an album that doesn't stall on the same sound twice. Most people were turned off by the fact that Samantha was a former porn star, and that she didn't have the most powerful voice in the world, but hey, she could still carry a pop tune and make you feel what it's about.
There were many, many great moments on this album. Of course, the three singles were fantastic ("Love House" was even totally ripped by Madonna on her classic "Vogue" single - same beat, same funky piano solo near the end), but I always wondered why there weren't more singles from the album. "Ready For This Love" in particular is a magnificent pop song, highly danceable and almost euphorical; if this one doesn't put you in a good mood, then chances are you're already dead. "One In A Million" was also a very catchy dance song, very energetic; and "Hot For You" was arguably one of the album's best songs, adding a surprising rock and roll touch to an album that was mostly dance and pop. It was a nice reminder that Samantha had initially opted for a rock and roll orientation for her career. "Confession" is also a standout, with its ambiant mood and dark edge. And the closer, the beautiful rock ballad "Out Of Our Hands", proved that she had the versatility to do a great job on ballads.
There are only a couple of duds on this album : the boring "Next To Me", which proved that Full Force had little creativity as producers and could only rely on two hooks; and "Walking On Air", too generic and repetitive for its own good.
After this album, Samantha said in interviews that she would go in the direction set by songs like "Hot For You" and "Out Of Our Hands", meaning more rock records. Unfortunately, her record company wanted to milk the dance formula to death and they hired Full Force once again to work on Sam's follow-up, the boring and half-baked "Just One Night". Thus ended the career of Samantha, proving that an artist should be the one to have creative control, and not the record company. Still, "I Wanna Have Some Fun" lived up to its title - and still does 15 years after its release.
Free Music Review: Samantha's Album Is A Lot Of "Fun"
Hit: 4 Stars
I first bought this album on cassette in 1989 and when I switched to CD's, I got this one as one of the first. The album is pure pop, and suggestive without being raunchy. The best songs on this set are the title track (edited on every other album it's on--that's why a fan of Fox's HAS TO HAVE this album), "Your House or My House", I Only Wanna Be With You", and "One In A Million". There are only 2 songs I did not enjoy: "Confession" and "Out Of Our Hands". Other than those, the tracks are very upbeat,dancable, and singable. Need some "Fun"?? Check out Samantha (the) Fox!!
