Music reviews of 9 Lives

Music Review: Unexpectedly Good! The best 19 year old pop (?) singer ever.
Rating: 5 Stars

"9 Lives" is the debut CD of 19 year old Kat DeLuna (around the same age as me). I found "Whine Up" to be a good enough song, and there was a hint of vocal talent in there, so I decided to buy the album. I kind of figured Kat DeLuna could sing, but definitely not this good. When I bought this CD, I never would've guessed that this would soon be a personal favorite of mind. I bought this CD with Rihanna's "Good Girl Gone Bad", thinking this would be the weaker of the two albums. Boy, was I wrong...

The album starts off with the intro. Here, Kat tells us that this is her moment, and she wants to share her talents with the world. The laugh at the end is devious, but kind of sexy in a way. At least to me.

"Run the Show" is the first actual song of the album. Hot beat, strong vocals. This song definitely starts the album off to a great start. Kat does a really good job of not letting the loud beat drown out her vocals. Many music artists these days are having problems with that.

Things slow down a bit with "Am I Dreaming?" This is one of the first songs where Kat shows off her vocal abilities. After a few listens, don't be surprised if you randomly blurt out "am I dreaminnnnnnnng?"

"Whine Up" is the fourth track, and we've all heard that. It's a decent song, but the others are better in my opinion.

"Feel What I Feel" is track number four. This is one of my favorites from the album. The production is nice, but the vocals are even better (which is how it's supposed to be). Once again, Kat's big voice prevents her from being lost in the beat.

"Love Me, Leave Me" is the first "true" ballad of the album. Kat turns a potentially boring song into something really interesting. Her vocals grab your attention, and by the end of the song, you'll be left wanting more.

"In The End" is another favorite of mine. The production is a little too similar to "Feel What I Feel", but that isn't much of a problem, for Kat is talented enough on her own and doesn't need loud production to bail her out. "All my life I've made excuses" is my favorite part of the song. Unlike most female singers, Kat doesn't play the victim here. In fact, she's portrayed quite negatively. "The more you're good to me, the more I try to get you to leave."

"Love Confusion" is definitely my favorite song from the album. It's somewhat of a quiet song, but it's one of the few songs to actually sound different from the others. Kat's vocals are showcased again, and quite often this time.

"Animal", the next track, is probably the overall weakest song on the album, but it isn't bad at all. The production sounds more like a remix of "Whine Up" instead of a new song, though the lyrics and vocals are (thankfully) different.

"Be Remembered" is another really great song. I love the hook. The rapping isn't needed, for Kat's vocals are good enough to stand on their own.

"Enjoy Saying Good Bye" is the last "true" song of the album. It's not bad, per say, but this is the song I listen to the least. The vocals are, of course, excellent, but the song as a whole isn't as interesting as the others are.

The album ends with spanish versions of "Whine Up", "Am I Dreaming" and "Run the Show." They're nice, but if you've already heard them once before, there isn't really a need to listen to them again, unless you want to.

OVERALL, this is an excellent CD. There aren't any bad songs on the album, though there are songs better than others. The production is consistent, though some of the songs sound like remixes of each other. Nonetheless, Kat DeLuna's vocals are amazing, especially considering how young she is. Furthermore, as she grows older, so will her voice. This woman is a powerhouse in the making, and I can't wait to see what she has to offer next (RedOne would be a fool to let this one slip by!).

With the right promotion, Kat Deluna could be the next big thing. She already has the talent. Now, she needs the support. Those who are looking for entertaining music coming from a talented singer (which is rare these days), then look no further. Kat DeLuna may be young, but this CD is far from bubblegum (she sounds so much older than she is). Pick this up today!

Description of 9 Lives

Look no further, this summer's main course has been cooked up and a fiery young newcomer named Kat Deluna has served it. Whine Up featuring Elephant Man is not only a smash, it's a dance, and it's soon to be a global movement. Led by the 19 year old star on the rise, Kat's debut album 9 Lives is sure to have chart topping release late this summer.
Kat DeLuna's 9 Lives is one of the year's sweetest surprises--a beguiling, bilingual pop debut that should make her a huge star (fingers crossed). The disc is a dazzling showcase for her unique talents, most notably her opera-trained voice, which bends and snaps with ease amid shiny club beats and tropical rhythms. Breakout single "Whine Up" soars on a thundering, round-the-way groove that's impossible to shake after just one listen. But that's just the first of the disc's flirty, feline offerings. "Animal" roars to camp-club perfection, blending anthem-like choruses with dance-diva attitude, and "Run the Show" is a confident party-starter. DeLuna proves equally adept at emotive balladry. The Selena-esque shimmer of "Am I Dreaming" is buoyed by a lilting, beach-kissed groove. And "Love Me, Leave Me" mines the same goth-pop territory as Rihanna's "Unfaithful." Teen pop-heads, Latin soulsters, anyone with a weakness for hooky melodies: DeLuna's 9 Lives will have them all purring with delight. --Joey Guerra
