Free Music Notes for Samantha Fox - Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: GREAT CD
Hit: 5 Stars
It is a sacrilege that Samantha Fox is regarded as a joke, a topless model who had a bunch of hits. She did more than that. First of all only a couple of her huge hits were produced by Stock Aitken and Waterman, and obviously have not stood the test of time very well, they were very much a thing of their time. All the rest are respectable music tracks. He first album "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)" spawned 4 hit singles (Touch Me, Do Ya Do Ya, Hold On Tight, I'm All You Need) , and only "Hold On Tight" is a bit cheesy pop.
Then she teamed up with SAW and did "Samatha Fox" (hits: Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now, I Surrender, Naughty Girls), a great album, then "I Wanna Have Some Fun" which is already more in that urban dance from the US that was becoming popular in the late late 80s, (hits: I Wanna Have Some Fun, Love House -very good-, I Only Wanna Be With You). Then she kinda went off to the US and did "Just One Night" which is really a more r&b album, very us-influenced and I never got into it much. After many collections she has done an album she recorded in her own studio, called "21st Century Fox" in like 1997, repackaged a couple of years later as "Watching Me, Watching You". This last one is a bit eurodiscotrash, as the songs sound not very professional, you can hear they are not big-budget stuff, but yet it's a very good album and if you like Sammy you have to get it. Late October 2005 sees the Canadian-only release (apparently) of her new album "Angel With An Attitude" and I can't wait to see what it sounds like.
PS to that reviewer. Trash music is at the core of the us music biz too, just take a look at britney baby ok? that's just one example. Oh, and Sammy is still singing, just for you I bet ;)
Free Music Review: The Very Best of Samantha
Hit: 5 Stars
Well-known for her nude spreads on he front pages of several U.K. newspapers and for her sex-laden past, Samantha Fox was the U.K.'s answer to Madonna to a certain extent. Although she didn't score too many hits either in the U.K. or stateside, Samantha still is considered one of the 1980's club divas.With the production/songwriting help of the popular American R&B group of Full Force, Samantha scored her two biggest hits ever. Full Force, fresh from their work with Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, and before they starred in the "House Party" films of the early 1990's wrote and produced the two most widely popular songs on this album: "I Wanna Have Some Fun," and "Naughty Girls (Need Love Too." Both songs, which feature fast and catchy beats, and Samantha rapping at times were number one hits in the U.K. and the U.S. and sealed Samantha's fame among the dance divas of that decade.
Other great songs on this album include the club tune "Love House" and one of her few, non-dance pop songs, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now." Both songs round the top four songs on this album, and the other songs are good, but less memorable than these.
While I am only very familiar with four of the songs of this album, I still rate it a 5 because it is one of the only few Samantha albums you can find on the market today. I was only disappointed that the album's version of "Naughty Girls" is a shortened version of the original album version. Besides this flaw, "Samantha Fox: Greatest Hits" is a must-have for anyone who thrived and grew up on eighties music.
Free Music Review: Lovely multitalented Samantha
Hit: 5 Stars
For all those of you who only thought that Samantha Fox was only good Naked, think again!! This album amazed me. Her biggest hit "Touch Me" first introduced me to Sam Fox in 1990. I only purchased this album because I had wanted THAT song, and it was at a good price. It turned out to be one of the best buys I've ever made. Thanks to the brilliant songwriters, one is exposed to the sheer power of Sam's ability, and voice. She moves from a power-pop track like "Touch Me", to a power-rock track in "Do you Wanna Please me" (This one is heavy), to the most beautiful ballad in "Even in the darkest hours". She can even do a strange rap-type in "Just one night alone", which I found out of place, but enjoyable. Here we get to hear her voice with few instrumental accompaniments, while pretending to be a woman describing her sexual satisfaction. It's pretty sensual, and can invoke a giggle toward the end. Other songs like "Spirit of America" and "Too many people" once again move into the power-rock phase. "Hot Loving" is the only song which didn't catch my fancy. I won't describe "Touch Me", listen to it, even if you don't anything else.Free Music Review: Remember when.......?
Hit: 5 Stars
you were 17 and went cruising with your dudes? You were probably blasting old Metallica or Guns-n-Roses, smoking cheap cigarettes and passing around a bottle of Boone's Farm. Well there were other nights too. You were probably in the back seat of your girlfriend's car, parked in some dark hidden place. If you were lucky she had Samantha Fox on the tape deck. She'd be singing along to 'Touch Me' as you were copping a feel. Well those days are long gone, and that old girlfriend is somebody's wife now with a couple of kids. But the memories remain. Samantha Fox was queen of the hip-hop eighties. These teeny-bobber girl singers of today should take a lesson from Sam. She didn't write her own songs either, but her sexuality could be felt through the speakers. C'mon you know you couldn't walk down a record store ailse without looking at her album covers. She was great, she was the 80's. Oh I miss those Music Review: Check out Samantha Fox's GREATEST HITS!Hit: 5 Stars I've FINALLY got a Samantha Fox CD of my own: Samantha Fox's GREATEST HITS Album (1992).
Nowadays, I RARELY get to hear ANY song by Samantha Fox on the radio! But, by listening to her GREATEST HITS CD, I can relive the 1980s and early 1990s.
My favorite Samantha Fox songs are ... 'Touch Me (I Want Your Body)', 'I Wanna Have Some Fun', and 'Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)'. There is an 18th track on this CD ... which turns out to be the 'UK Megamix' (an amalgamation of a few of Samantha Fox's other GREATEST HITS).
