Save your money - In my opinion this cd is Britney meets Ace Of Base. I wish I had saved my money. She could have been a lot more original. I liked the song entitled, Save your kisses for me. I was turned off however when I noticed another song with the exact same tune. I ran across Natasha Thomas on YouTube, and liked her video, It s over now a lot. However on the cd the man who was singing with her on the video was not singing on the copy of the cd that I had gotten. When I listen to this song now I can not get Ace Of Base out of my head...All that she wants is... Anyway, it is sick how close that tune is to the Ace Of Base song. :( It has become a cd that sits in my never played pile. Unless you are sure you are a huge fan of hers, my suggestion would be save your money!
OK for Pop - I pride myself in having outgrown my pop years, but quite frankly, every now and then I listen to pop for it s catchy tunes (which you must admit, even when it s bad, it gets stuck in the ol noggin ) and then there s the sense that you might be missing out on something.I stumbled across this performer through an ad campaign for Lacoste perfume. Her voice is airy, and although I ve yet to see a video from her (yes, I probably am living in a cave)I assume she will go the same route as her Britney-Christina counterparts with lots of dancing and backup dancers, her lyrics are sweet, and the music is over-produced, but hopefully that s her real voice coming through.The song that brought me to this album was Let me show you the way, which was featured in the ad. The album title Save Your Kisses has the same music, but with different lyrics. I must say that this is clear proof that Europop is much more appealing to me than its American counterpart. I have to say that the Ace of Base feeling is palpable throughout the album, and it s most evident in It s over now and Why does it hurt so much, where you half expect her to switch to All that she wants instead. (Also, Young and Carefree fits that description).The track More than friends is reminescent of Stacie Orrico, and I m Just a Little Bit Shy might be used as a music cue on a TV show soon (seems like a mood-setter).I don t know, I might be jaded, after all, I ve been there to see many popsters come and go, and some even evolve into more serious performers (as is Mandy Moore s case), but Ms. Thomas doesn t have the groovy depth of Joss Stone, and the fact that she s the product of Europop doesn t help matters much. Let s remind ourselves that it took Kylie Minogue almost 15 years to get back on the U.S. playlists, while she was a hit in Europe and Australia.I liked it, might play it in the car, or may jog to it, but I m not sure I d miss this CD if it got lost, and I might not even replace it.
Good Album... - Natasha Thomas is one of those pop singers who if had commercials and ads in America, would be like Britney Spears, or Hilary Duff. Her songs easily beat the depth of Hilary s, and the chorus s are just as catchy. Her voice beats Hil, Brit, Mandy, Lindsay, and all of those other pop-singing teen idols. I strongly suggest you pick it up...you will be very satisfied if you are at all a fan of pop/rock music.
