Advantages: Brilliant debut album, varied and consistantly good Disadvantages: Only one rubbish song!
...made her debut 'pop' album Tissues & Issues and this is what I think…
Charlotte starts the album with dirty bass and breathy 'ooh's' and 'aaaahhh's'. 'Call My Name' was her second single to hit the top ten, and it's a filthy little romp. "I like the sound of your hand slapping, your whip cracking, this could be painful'. It's a short 2.54 minutes of pure camp sexy sleazy motown pop and its genius. It matches the voluptuous mix image she has created. ...

Advantages: A few fairly decent pop songs Disadvantages: A few not so decent pop songs
I'm quite possibly the kind of person that Charlotte Church was aiming at when she decided to take a change of direction into pop music. I would never even have considered buying her "Voice of an Angel" style CDs, purely because classical and operatic style music isn't my thing. I do, however, have a liking for well crafted pop music, so I'd always be likely to give her pop debut a chance, if it seemed worth it.
Church certainly seemed to have ...

Advantages: all around strong album Disadvantages: the singles didnt sell well
Well this is another of the CD's that having returned home seem to have become a fixture on my CD player. Everyone knows who Charlotte Church is, shes the little girl who sang classical/opera music discovered by Richard and Judy, but she has grown up and as this happen it was somewhat inevtiable that she would choose to aim an album at the popular music market, her vocal talent in undeniable but how well does it cross to pop music?
This album was ...

Advantages: Excellent variety of songs and full of soul Disadvantages: not for everyone.
The path from Classical singer to pop icon is a very tricky one, with many artists regretting their crossover. The debut album from Charlotte Church has helped her to crossover completely into the world of pop in one record, while still maintaining the musical integrity which goes with the classical genre.
The opening track, "Call my Name" sets the tone for the album with a strong, "Not for kids" message. At only 3 minutes in length it is short ...

Finding Her Own Way Review ofTissues And Issues - Charlotte Churchby
hannahmc3
Charlotte Church is a girl who seems to know her own mind - she knows what she likes and what she doesn't and she won't be forced in to a corner by anyone. So perhaps, bearing this in mind, I should have expected her to produce an album like this, full of strong and original songs that seem to have been created especially for her, with no close resemblance to the rest of those abundant female solo artists. I, however, for some reason did not have ...

chill Review ofTissues And Issues - Charlotte Churchby
flutterby27
Advantages: can be used in various situations Disadvantages: lyrics on some songs could be better
After initially buying this album after hearing the singles released, "call my name" and "crazy chick" I was pleasantly surprised at how good the rest of the songs were. My favourite song on the album is "show a little faith" which has excellent lyrics that can relate to almost anybody in many different situations.
Other favourites on the album are "confessional song" and "easy way out" although confessional song doesn't have the best lyrics I've ...
