Free Music Notes for Fanmail

Free Music Review: "FANMAIL" DOES NOT FAIL TO DISSAPOINT
Hit: 5 Stars

FaNmAiL ~ Could also be called their "Comeback" song. A Great opening to the fans. It also has Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes reading some funny letters from fans.

SiLLy Ho ~ The first single and In my opinion the weakest single released. It's more of a dance-floor friendly track, with as the review says Timbaland-esque beats. Their vocals are transformed in the background to computerized electronic vic-e recordings. It sounds astounding!

No ScRuBs ~ We've all heard this one before. This is the verson without the rap and in my opinion sounds better. It was written by former X-Scape member, Kandi ("Don't Think I'm Not"). Great R&B feel and is a TLC classic...definatly one of their signature lyrics.

I'm GoOd At bEiNg BaD ~ The third single released...taking more of Hip-Hop roots and was only popular on the Urban charts. This one was overlooked and one of the best songs from the album. Soft guitar background melodies and tough hardcore rap verses interwoven make this a very nice and diverse track.

If ThEy KnEw ~ An okay medium-paced song but could be considered "filler." Left Eye raps in this one yet again and T-Boz sings lead. This one incorporates great beats and ruff R&B.

I MiSs YoU sO mUcH ~ A great "BabyFace" produced ballad taking more of country-like roots. This songs seems like something miss Faith Hill would sing. Thier harmonies are really represented i this track.

UnPrEtTy ~ The fourth single released, which has more of a rock feel to it. I'm sure you have all heard it released on the radio. In case you didn't know this was a poem written by T-Boz available in her book "Secrets."

My LiFe ~ One of the album's highlights, it takes back to their old-school Hip-Hop roots mixed with modern R&B. It also shows how independent the girls have come to be since thier last recording. A Must listen.

ShOuT ~ An interesting song with a futuristic sound but also could be considered "filler." I still listen to it because it's fun to dance to and has another rap from miss Left Eye.

CoMe On DoWn ~ Like "I miss You So Much" this one take more of a country-like roots, I really like the feel of this song. It's slow and mellow and is great to relax to. Their harmonies are once again great here!

DeAr LiE ~ My favorite track on FANMAIL next to "I Miss You So Much" and also is their last single released, and was the least popular. In my opinion it was overlooked and has great lyrics. I like TLC because in this album they talk about more then just love. The guitars mixed with supreme vocal harmony is just astounding. You must listen to this song.

LoVeSiCk ~ An interesting number using electronic phone beeps and other synthesizers in the background. This is really one of the most unique songs I've ever heard in my life. Very Creative!

AuToMaTiC ~ This track I could take or leave, therefore also could be considered "Filler." It's OK but I like the computer-ized voices which are back in this number.

DoN't PuLL oUt On Me YeT ~ A GREAT way to close the album and could be called "Red Light Special Part II." It's very similar to it's hit counterpart...but still a little different, taking more roots to En Vogue's "Givin Him Something He Can Feel." Once again a Great way to close one of the best albums ever.

Overall FANMAIL is a Must buy for anyone who likes R&B, Hip-Hop, Pop, Rock, Country and some Club Techno. If you heard and liked most of the songs on the radio then FANMAIL is definatly reccomended. Also I would like to say *R I P* to Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, TLC's "Crazy" member who was really an interesting person. I always will miss her and her rapping. She really is represented more in FANMAIL then in their previous album CRAZYSEXYCOOL. Overall grade for FANMAIL: A+
