My first impression of this album was that it sounds like something somewhere between Emma Bunton’s “Free Me” and Joss Stone, but the range of styles is even wilder than that as the tracks progress. This album has everything. She gets classical opera-like stuff in over the dancy “Let’s Be Alone” (is there no end to the amount of dance music that’s gonna cross my path this year??) only then to sound like Lindsay Lohan and other teenyboppers seconds later, then take another 180 into “Casualty of Love” which starts off beautiful and slow and turns into a crazy samba type thing (definitely my favourite track on the album, incidentally). This really is quite an “eff ewe” to those teenyboppers, it’s like Charlotte Church is saying, “yeh I can do what you can do … but I can also do … this ... and that! ... and … did I mention …!” All in all, everything I expected after really kinda falling for Charlotte in the movie I’ll Be There – I didn’t expect it to be quite so eclectic, though, nice surprise.
