Kid Blue/Louise Goffin - Louise Goffin

Advantages: Not one really bad song
Disadvantages: None really

...Aaaah, Louise now there'sa nice girl for you. Someone you'd like to take home to meet your parents (except she's married so you'll have to keep your bloody mits off her or Mr Redknapp will 'ave you). We can always rely upon Louise to belt out a good pop song or two and on here we have all 16 of them! So come on Lou, get your hits out! 1. Naked - Ooooh, this is saucy! It's all about getting erm... naked really. Quite an uptempo RnB number. 10/10, reached no.5. 2. Just a step from heaven - Louise did this one with Eternal but must have the rights to the song as she has plonked it on her album. RnB with a good twist of pop and dead catchy. 7/10, reached no.8. 3. Undivided Love - Carrying on with the faster hits this one has great vocals, great lyrics along with a feel-good dance beat. 10/10, reached no.5. 4. Stuck in the middle... Read review

Advantages: Evi's Vocals
Disadvantages: None

...A little bit about the band. Belgium dance trio Lasgo were formed in 2000, members Evi Goffin (vocals) along with Dave Mc Cullen and Peter Luts (who are also producers.) The band have sold over five million copies of their albums Some Things and Far Away. The Album. Some Things starts off with 'Intro' which is a beautiful trancey, chill out instrumental. This then flows nicely into the instantly recognisable 'Something.' Along with being a contagious dance track, there's emotion in the vocals - "don't be afraid there's no need to worry cos my feelings for you are still strong." The female vocals courtesy of Evi Goffin are excellent. 'Blue' starts off sounding like 1980's New Order with it's synths and guitars, and provides another catchy dance anthem. 'Alone' was the second single to be released from this album. It has... Read review

Advantages: timeless pop
Disadvantages: none

...More of the Monkees, reissued on rhino records, was the Monkees 2nd album released just as they were hitting the big time containing most of the songs from the 1st TV series. Unfortunately the Monkees themselves were far from happy with this album, as everything was prerecorded and all they had to do was add the vocal tracks - so manufactured pop definately. But the quality of songs is very high, as would be expected with songwriters such as Goffin & King. But also interesting is the range of the songs suggesting that no-one knew quite how to sell the monkees. These range from the classic "Daydream believer" to 60's pop "look out here comes tomorrow" the novelty " Auntie Grizelda" Peter Tork's first lead vocal to the garage band "Mary, Mary" and "steppin Stone". All things to all fans - a classic... Read review
