Reason - Melanie C

Advantages: Different side of Mel C, 12 tracks
Disadvantages: some more upbeat tracks would have been nice

...own style of muisc. Reason is the follow up album to Northern Star which recieved very mixed reviews what with the rock style change of image. This time Mel is back looking in great shape after the papers reporting her as being fat which I think was highly unfair (You can't win with the papers can you, if your stick thin they slag you off and vice versa which I find very annoying) and looking something of the Mel we say in the earlier spice girls ...
...is the second single from Reason and I think it is a very good choice. The song is about not matter how bad things can get things can always work out and see the good on the horizon... This song wouldn't be out of place on a spice girls album, it's very lively and happy sing a long song. 10/10 POSITIVELY SOMEWHERE A slow starter positively somewhere wasn't one of my favourite tracks on first impressions of this album. This song livens when the ... Read review

Advantages: Another quality album from Ms Chisholm
Disadvantages: Too different from her debut Northern Star

...a long term solo career. Reason is the follow up to her triple platinum debut “Northern Star” which spawned 5 singles, two of which reached number one, one featuring the late Lisa “Left Eye" Lopes. Melanie tried a range of diverse sounds on her debut: Rock, R&B, Pop & Dance. Sadly the follow up doesn’t explore the same routes. Reason, when released in early 2003 was highly anticipated. The lead off single “Here It Comes Again” being a good example ...
...no way as diverse as Northern Star. There are a couple of rocky tracks; a few acoustic ballads and some 100% pop gems, there are no R&B or Dance tracks. This is a shame as Melanie could have picked up where she left off three years previously and shed the spice tag completely. However it is still a pretty good album. Melanie obviously had more control and was pleased with the result, which is good just not in comparison with her debut. Here It Comes ... Read review

Advantages: melanie c - easy listening
Disadvantages: not enough freedom for melanie

...8/10 Track 2 - Reason - 3 words to describe this song Stunning - Emotional - Tearjerking - only one instrument in this song and that is classical piano - a very mellow ballad - i couldnt really advise what its about but from seeing her live it means alot to her and you can hear that when she sings - it seems like she is down about something and needs reassurance - "You arrived just in time Now I know I'll be fine I'm not ashamed to say you truly ...
...another ballad but different from reason this is mainly accompanied by a quick paced guitar rythme until slight piano comes in a lot of long held notes by melanie once again proving her vocal abilities. i think this song is about spreading good will and the feeling you get when you see it in action. " Give a little bit of love to your people but save a little bit of love for yourself" "watch your heart - feel your heart melt." the song really picks ... Read review
