Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This silky-voiced Texan foursome combine hints of the slow, laconic sweetness of R&B mistress Erykah Badu with the tough, edgy pop of TLC. Like other US R&B girl groups, their follow-up to 1998's self-titled debut comes with the suitable glossy sheen and hot, late 90s producer--in this case She'kspere, the dude behind TLC's summer of 99 hit "No Scrubs". His magical, minimalist touch makes tracks like "Bills Bills Bills" and "Bug A Boo" memorable for their insouciance, and deft, hardcore harmonies. Writer/producer Missy Elliot also puts in her several thousand dollars-worth on "Confessing", a low-key love groove. Though teenagers when they recorded this album, Destiny's Child sing convincingly of faithless lovers, e-mail stalkers, and extra-marital temptation, complete with cod-Shakespearean quotes. They also do a gospel version of "Amazing Grace", letting their voices buck and weave a cappella. Apart from a few less than enthralling ballads, it¹s an engaging, sassy mix. --Lucy O'Brien

Format:Audio CD
Every Song from Beginning to end is great to amazing this is smooth chilled out R'N'B that feels as fresh in 2011 as it did in 1999 the overall production and feel of this album is so different to anything out there now and really of the time it was released and this is the album that really showcases Beyonce because thus far she has yet to make and album of the standard of The Writing's On The Wall both musically and lyrically it begs the question where the hell did she go wrong.
Format:Audio CD
The soulful sounds of this cd are bound to please any R&B lover.I think most of it's tracck's are perfect for a romantic setting.It also has some very funky tracks to dance to.All in all you must be mad to let a cd with all good tracks pass like this one.
Format:Audio CD
WOW! WHAT AN ALBUM. THESE GIRLS HAVE GOT TO BE ONE OF THE BEST R'N B GROUPS OUT THERE. PREVIOUSLY TO ME PURCHASING THIS ALBUM I HAD ONLY HEARD A COUPLE OF SONGS, BUT WAS PLEASENTLY SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT THE WHOLE ALBUM WAS FULL OF QUALITY. TRACKS LIKE 'SAY MY NAME' ARE BRILLIANT AND MY PERSONNAL FAVOURITE THE BONUS TRACK, 'GET ON THE BUS'. TAKE CARE YOU TEXAN BEAUTIES, KEEP IT REAL!
