Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Footprints follows in the tradition of the eponymous Kylie and even Jason Donovan's Ten Good Reasons; not particularly similar in style or content but all three are the debut efforts from Ramsay Street hopefuls. It's too early to say whether Holly Valance will go Kylie or Jason but thanks to her raunchy if somewhat desperate video for first single and standout track "Kiss Kiss", she should be around as long as her Pop Star/Idol/Rival peers and perhaps even longer. Like the aforementioned single and follow-up "Down Boy", much of the albums production has an Eastern feel with tablas banging out some disjointed R&B which is probably the albums strongest point. There are no real fantastic songs in their entirety but there are many glimmers of inspiration like the euphoric "Whoop" with a catchy chorus, quirky arrangement and filthy bassline. More such demi-highlights are "All in Mind" which has the same melody as "Kiss Kiss" but slightly slower, also "Cocktails and Parties" which is a pretty middle-of-the-road, mid-tempo ballad. It will be very interesting to hear what Valance's next album will be like as there is strong potential in Footprints but as with most new chart-pop acts, the debut is just a conservative gamble on whether they'll make it. --Georgina Collins

Filled with 13 wholesome songs from the lovely Holly Valance and 2 Bonus Video's on the Enhanced Section this Album is surprisingly good!

1. Kiss Kiss:- Most people have heard this by now. Its either a song that you like or hate. I happen to like it and find myself singing it afterwards! Upbeat and quick this is a great song for Dancing to 8/10

2. Tuck your Shirt in:- This song uses a Eastern Beat throughout it which works surprisingly well. A 'Sexy' Mid-Tempo song with a catchy Chorus that'll stick in your mind 9/10

3. Down Boy:- This is her second release of a single and isn't as good as 'Kiss Kiss'. Quite a slow and quiet song, its not as catchy as the others but I can't fault the foot tapping Chorus 7/10

4. City ain't Big Enough:- This sounds quite 'American' style. Think Mandy Moore. Softly sung imagine driving in a car in the summer with the top down. This is the sort of song you'd play 8/10

5. Cocktails and Parties:- Probably the weakest song on the Album. Don't get me wrong its still good but sounds a bit too similar to the previous song. Could have done with being a bit more 'Aggressive' and not so 'Gentle and slow' 6/10

6. Whoop:- Woah! Fantastic. This is HIGHLY Britney Spears [Think voice throwing with a toe tapping beat in the background] so catchy and great for dancing to. This could have easily been a song for Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera and if so it would hit Number 1 10/10

7. Hush Now:- Again we have another Upbeat song [Fantastic! I dislike Albums with a lot of slow songs]. This isn't as good as 'Whoop' and sounds quite "R & B". It could have been sung by somebody like Brandy, Monica or Samantha Mumba as its that sort of style 8/10

8. All in the Mind:- Another catchy song, with a fast beat in the background. Think 'Sexy' yet 'Catchy' and this is what this is. You'll want to learn the words and sing along to it 8/10

9. Harder they come:- One of the 'Nice' and safe songs. Sounds quite 'American' style again, a little slower with less of a low beat like the others. Again you can hear a bit of the Eastern style coming through. This sounds quite All Saints style actually 6/10

10. Help me Help you:- Ironically this quite reminds me of something Billie Piper would sing. Its softly sung and one of the few Ballads on the Album. Holly should stick to the faster songs as her voice is better suited to them 5/10

11. Naughty Girl:- A middle tempo song thats between fast and a Ballad this is a lovely little Number and quite catchy. This sort of Song would do good in the Charts 8/10

12. Connect:- This is my FAVOURITE song on the Entire Album. I could listen to it so many times! This is on the Britney/ Christina Level. I'm not joking either. "Smooth and Sexy" is one way to describe it. The Chorus is so catchy and I like the way they have thrown her Voice around [Similar to what Brandy did on "What about us?"] This is by no doubt a top class Track 10/10

13. Send my Best:- A typical ending Song! Slow and another attempy at a Ballad, we see her hitting that 'American' style mixed with the soft style of All Saints. Still not a bad song! 7/10

OUTSTANDING TRACKS: 2, 6, 7, 12.
MIDDLE CLASS TRACKS: 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11.
BAD TRACKS: 10, 13.

The Verdict? I went out not expecting much from this Album. I thought it would be "Kylie" style but because I thought this is meant I was surprised. It is not at all like this. The similarity between Holly and Kylie ends at the fact they are both from Australia. They are NOTHING alike so don't buy this expecting Kylie. This is a great teenage Album filled with catchy songs that ooze sex appeal, toe tapping and freshness. I wouldn't even call them 'Pop' because they are far more sexier and smoother than that. I would call them 'Dance Tracks'. Britney, Christina, Mandy Moore Fans this would be ideal for you! Overall a fantastic Album 9/10

When I first heard Holly's new album I had my doubts as to whether I would grow to love it or loathe it - A few listens later and I love it. The instant stand out tracks are the upbeat songs - Tuck your shirt in, and Whoop. The more you listen, the more other tracks stand out, such as R&B type song The harder they come. There are some softer tunes, but it all blends together very well.

If you liked Kiss Kiss and Down Boy I am sure you will like this.

HOLLYTASTIC 29 Oct 2002
By Dan
Format:Audio CD
From soapstar to popstar! She has proven that she isn't just a one hit wonder. The album is sexy and very catchy.It takes an Eastern feel, which is different, but gr8.
Tracks to listen to are: 'Tuck ur shirt in','Whoop','Hush Now','Help me Help you', and 'Connect'. These tracks you will instantly like, and want to play them ova and ova again.

A good debut album which is a must have for people who like pop with a lil' R'n'B added in somewhere!!

Can't wait to hear her next single and album!!
