Black Princess - U-Brown

Advantages: Diverse and personal mostly self penned songs
Disadvantages: maybe too diverse for some

...When Kylie decided to leave the relative safety of Stock Aitken Waterman she clearly wanted to take a new direction. Her 5th album started promisingly with the hits "Confide In Me" and "Put yourself In My Place" but the album itself lacked any real direction. In 1998 she released "Impossible Princess" the title coming from a book given to her by Nick Cave who she had worked with earlier though in Europe this title was dropped at the time of release due to the death of Princess Diana.

Yet, back in the 90s (ah, don’t you miss them!), nobody was so concerned with being “cool” as they are today. Girls didn’t concern themselves with wearing black and caked on eyeliner, boys didn’t dream of growing long greasy hair and forming a band, instead, back when pop was cool, before the rise of the ubiquitous sweaty boy band, people were free to embrace their inner pop prince or princess, and embrace it they did.
