This is the rerelease of the "Right Now" album. The original was released in 2000. This version was released in 2001, with Jenny's vocals on some songs, but not all. They rushed to get this CD out, which is my review title says 'a little rushed'. Not that I don't love this CD, cuz I do. It's a mix of dance songs and slow ballads, all blending in together nicely. My rundown of the tracks:
1. Right Now
The debut single from the Kittens, released in 1999 with Kerry. It's still fun now, 4 years later. It has kind of naughty lyrics if you listen hard, but it'll still be a favourite with the kids. The chorus is really catchy, and the verses are great. 4.5/5
2. Follow Me
Why do so many say AK are ripping off Uncle Kracker? This songs sounds NOTHING like his song! It's brilliant (and Kracker's song, unfortunately, isn't)! I love the music, with it's steady beat and the cool chorus. Tash sounds really strong on this song. 5/5
3. Whole Again
The song that got the girls to where they are now. This is still a great song after all the overplaying it's received. I still love listening to it now. It's so simple, and short, and that's what makes it great. I love Kerry's talked vocals in the middle 8 (but Jenny does it great on the new version too). 5/5
4. Eternal Flame
I prefer the radio edit of this song, but it's still great! This version is better if you want to hear Tash's amazing vocals, she gets much more backings to do on this one. I love this Bangles cover, it's rad! 5/5
5. Tomorrow and Tonight
One of my favourites. I just love the way this song is arranged. The chorus is SO cool, I love the lyrics. The way the verses and lines are put together is amazing. The middle 8 with Jenny's vocals is cool too. 5/5
6. Get Real
This song is so weird! It has such odd lyrics (much like "Maybe I'm Right" from the 2nd CD), like "let your backbone slip, slip down to your hip" eh?!. But anyway, this is still cool, and catchy with great sound effects. 5/5
7. Turn Me On
This has to be my favourite. When I first got the CD, I hated this song. But it grew on me, and I now love it. It's just so catchy. This is glittery, swirly, and great to sing along to. I've seen this live, and I love the dance routine. Tash does great vocals on this song. TURN IT UP! 5,000,000/5
8. Hippy
Another odd song. This song doesn't mention the word 'Hippy' in the entire song AT ALL. But it's still cute, and short, with funny lyrics, and great music. 4.5/5
9. You Are
Everytime I hear this song, I think of the Kittens singing with Cliff Richard *shudder*, but that's not to say this song isn't great. Cuz it is. It has a good chorus and great verses. 4/5
10. Cradle
My second favourite - this is also my favourite ballad on the CD. How can you not love this song? They mention the word 'Cradle' in it twice, but newayz, this is so beautiful. Tash again, amazes you with her fantastic voice, and I always sing along to the chorus. 5/5
11. Bye Now
This is a mixed up kind of song, but it's still great. I love the chorus with it's different bits, and the strong middle 8 and and I love the ending. 5/5
12. Strangers
Another favourite. This is really short, only about 2 minutes. Liz's voice is suited perfect for this song (like her solo song on the 2nd CD), I love the Asian music, and the super strong middle 8. 5/5
13. See Ya
This was the second single from the girls, their best charting song when Kerry was in the group, reaching No.6. This has cute music, and again great lead vocals from Liz. 5/5
14. I Want Your Love
I love this song! It's a very fast techno pop kind of song, and you'll find yourself singing along on the first listen with the fast chorus. I also love the 'Boom's! 5/5
Favourite songs in order:
1. Turn Me On
2. Cradle
3. Strangers
4. I Want Your Love
5. Tomorrow & Tonight
(that was hard to list, cuz I love every track)
Overall, a great debut album that will please everyone - if you're a fan of ballads you'll like this, if you like fast dance pop you'll like this, if you like pop in general you'll love this! If you haven't already, buy this now!
