Cheers 2 You [PA] - Playa

...there

Cheers 2 U - Titled track and a really good one. A softly sent message with a glasses up salute to the ladies. Easy to sing along to and it sticks in your memory. Job done then. The second single of the album, it didnt chart

Miss Parker - Funnily enough this was the only track that i heard on the radio, maybe because the lack of popularity at its release, stations had to plug them with a known act and Missy Elliott ...
...its one of the best tracks on here, good vocals, good production.

Top Of The World - Slow the tempo up again and you get this one. Good chorus but quite a come down from the previous track.

One Man Woman - This features Aaliyah and is a quality song. Slowish tempo again but continues to set the loves scene. Aaliyah as on most of her songs is amazing and a great addition to this song

I'll B 2 C U - Bit ... more

Considering the recent death of the main member Static, who featured on Lil Wayne's single Lollipop, the price of this album may have jumped up but you can still get this on the cheap. This r&b group were part of the blackground music label who came up and boogied with Ginuwine, Timbaland, Missy Elliott & Aaliyah and have made their way onto many of Timbalands albums and on a few tracks on other albums here and there. They had their own style influenced by Timbaland but this was the only album they released. Static mainly wrote and produced for other artists rather than claim the limelight himself and this album is fully written and produced by the group.

Tracks

Dont Stop The Music - If you bypass the intro which has cartoon character Magoo on it, you'll find this. Its good, very good. The beats are simple but really low pitched snares and heavy basslines set you up so high you actually forget the guys are on it! The line 'I cant stay in one place i cant sit still' kinda sums this track up. It could have been anyone singing on here the beat would have won the battle. The first single off the album but not sure if it charted, criminal

All The Way - Slow the tempo down slightly and you get this little ditty. Quite a nice come down which shows to me that like Timbaland tunes you dont know whats coming next

Everybody Wanna Love Somebody - Not bad, not as good as the first tracks but acceptable. Slow tempo with a heart felt message. Not one for me really

Together - Same again on this track. Playa showing they have a soft centre, bring back the beats, bring back the beats

I-65 - Again not bad, middle of the road stuff, the lack of features are telling me they have confidence in what they are doing and can fully utilise the skills of all three members to rap and sing and do whatever they want. The confidence is there

Cheers 2 U - Titled track and a really good one. A softly sent message with a glasses up salute to the ladies. Easy to sing along to and it sticks in your memory. Job done then. The second single of the album, it didnt chart

Miss Parker - Funnily enough this was the only track that i heard on the radio, maybe because the lack of popularity at its release, stations had to plug them with a known act and Missy Elliott being on this one does that exactly. To be honest its one of the best tracks on here, good vocals, good production.

Top Of The World - Slow the tempo up again and you get this one. Good chorus but quite a come down from the previous track.

One Man Woman - This features Aaliyah and is a quality song. Slowish tempo again but continues to set the loves scene. Aaliyah as on most of her songs is amazing and a great addition to this song

I'll B 2 C U - Bit quicker this one but not as good as the previous. Its seems such a long time since i heard the opener. Im starting to miss it

Push - We're starting to tail off now, fillers all the way from here on. Slow tempo and slow to get going, by the time it does your on to the next one

Buggin Over You - Slightly better than Push but again not great. Keeping with the theme of the album, its all about the women

I Gotta Know - A last minute feature from Foxy Brown doesnt lift the conclusion of the album. Her contribution doesnt add anything of note to the final tune.

Ok so its not bad, maybe a bit cobbled together but its ok. Timbaland did have a had in the album production but clearly Static had the final say. Had it had been the other way around we could have seen a better level of songs.
