Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

There was a sense with 2000's Northern Star that the former Spice Girl Melanie C was trying out a new persona. With its swinging backbeat and Southern style horns, Reason is smoother, more mature, less eclectic. Like a female Robbie Williams, Melanie C is going for the classic pop soul sound that best suits her voice. There are layered guitars and rock choruses, but she never gets lost in the mix. She has cowritten each song with a production team that includes Marius de Vries and Pat McCarthy, and created a thoughtful, personal set. On the title track, for instance, a piano-led song with a jazzy tinge, she sings about being the reluctant lover wanting to be overwhelmed, while on the languid "Do I", she asks hopefully: "Am I the one / Who makes you come undone?" She resurrects the rock chick for the more brazen "Yeh Yeh Yeh", yet this is executed, it seems, with tongue firmly in cheek. --Lucy O’Brien

Format:Audio CD
Melanie's second album, Reason, is without a doubt one of the best releases of this year! I'll give you an insight review:

1) Here It Comes Again: The first single and definitely a catchy pop/rock song. 10/10

2) Reason: I find this personally one of the best songs on the album. It's only Melanie and a piano, a very beautiful ballad with deep lyrics. 10/10

3) Lose Myself In You: One of the not so very great tracks on this album. It's kinda like a mix between RnB and pop. 7/10

4) On The Horizon: One of my favorites, great guitar work and positive lyrics about the future of a life. Great song, is going to be the 2nd single from her album, they made a good choice. 10/10

5) Positively Somewhere: Goes about where Mel is in her life right now, great song with some cool guitar work. 10/10

6) Melt: My personal favorite from this album. Props to her co-writer Guy Chambers (ex-Robbie Williams), they did a great job on this epic track with guitars, piano, sounds...it all just fits! 10/10

7) Do I: A touchy ballad with some deep lyrics - a great song. 9/10

8) Soul Boy: Another ballad, written with a lot of soul and emotion - good song. 9/10

9) Water: A good song, where Mel experiments with different sounds - it sounds fabulous! 9/10

10) Home: A darker song from Melanie, with some cool guitarwork and experimenting with drums/percussion - certainly a good one. 9/10

11) Let's Love: A GREAT rocker!! Has a very catchy riff and sing-along-lyrics! 10/10

12) Yeh Yeh Yeh: The same effect as Let's Love but it's even more uplifting and has some great guitar and drumwork! 10/10

Conclusion: A great album to listen to and definitely better than her first album, which I found more "teeny bopper" - this is a very mature album, Melanie seems to have found her place :)

A MILLION REASONS! 27 Mar 2003
Format:Audio CD
After seeing all the positivity directed at this album i really had to throw my opinions into the ring! This album is such class after reviewing the first track 'Here it comes again' i had to review the rest!

Here it comes again - What a class track it means so much to me and i think it always will, a chours that grabs your attention and your heart strings as well! (10/10)

Reason - This wasnt really accepted very well i heard its kinda slow but has a real sneaky melody which was in my head for ages after a listen or two! (8/10)

Lose myself in you - Didnt like this to start of with but most definetly a grower! (8/10)

On the horizon - One of my fav tracks and the 2nd single of the album... pure class. (10/10)

Positively somewhere - This track suits her voice so well! Catchy and completly unasumming! (9/10)

Melt - WOW!! This is the best song after 'I turn to you' what a melody what a meaning... the best song on the album! (11/10)

Do i - Such a cool song, not her best. (6.5/10)

Soul boy - This track is the only song that Mel didnt co write i think thats why i dont think i like it.. but again shes on top form. Great voice wrong song. (6/10)

Water - I adore the last four tracks on the alb, this one in particular what a class little melody and fantastic production!!Her voice shines on this track! (9/10)

Home- This song is about her recent troubles, and its a great testiment thats there is light at the end of the tunnel (10/10)

Lets Love - Class, thats all i can say!! (10/10)

Yeh, Yeh, Yeh - THis is one of the best songs on the album and a brillant way to finish off a fabulous album, so slow to start of with then a kicking chours to shut up all her critics! (10/10)

Melanie C - Reason 4 Mar 2003
Format:Audio CD
Ive listened to Melanie's album and I would highly recommend it. Im not sure if it is better that Northern Star but it comes very close. I found that 9 of the 12 excellent tracks were good but im sure the others will grow on me. My favourites include "Reason", "Positively Somewhere" and "On the Horizon". Below is a song by song review:

1) Here it comes again - The debut single, A good comeback single, probably one of the stronger tracks on the album. Brilliant lyrics, excellent vocals, superb tune. (8/10)

2) Reason - This is one of my favourite. Definetely one of Mel's best tracks she has done. It takes a couple of listens to like this song I found. The piano is brilliant also. The most sophistacated track. (9/10)

3) Lose myself in you - This wasnt the kind of song I thought Melanie would put on her album its rather poppy, but I think its a great track. (8/10)

4) On the Horizon - Melanie's forthcoming single apparantely to be released in June. The beginning reminds me of a Ronan Keating song. It has a great catchy chorus and lyrics and I think will do well as her next single. Also one of my favourites. (9/10)

5) Positively Somewhere - My favourite track on the album. Its got that rocky catch to it and I think this will be a definte single. I think this is actually the best song she has ever recorded. (10/10)

6) Melt - Another of my favourite tracks. It starts of a bit slow but once it begins its a great mid tempo track. Melanies really shows her vocal talent in this song. (10/10)

7) Do I - Ok just, not one of the best songs but still has a good chorus and melody. (6.5/10)

8) Soul Boy - No harm but this song is rubbish, i dont know how this made the album. I think its ruins a good album. It has nothing that makes you want to listen on. (3/10)

9) Water - Nice tune. Easy listening. Like the chorus. The ending verse is brilliant Mel really shows off her voice in this part. (7/10)

10) Home - Dont know if I like this song or not. I think this is a song that will grow on you. Def not one of the better songs. (5.5/10)

11) Lets Love - Rock track. It takes a couple of listens of this song to like it I found. The Chorus is catchy. (7/10)

12) Yeah Yeah Yeah - This track reminded me of "Go" a little from Northern Star. It starts of well and has a great bass in it. A great way to end the album with one of the best songs. The best way to listen to this song is full blast. (9/10)

Overall a great 2nd album and hopefully there is more to come from Mel.

12 Good 'Reason's' to buy 'Reason'.
(8/10) 'Here It Comes Again'- An excellent opener, laid back beat with soothing vocals, a tinge of rock to add a third dimension to the sound.
