Music reviews of Breakaway
Music Review: The Perfect Pop/Rock Album
Rating: 5 Stars
This album has it all, big anthemic radio-friendly smashes, Dark, emotional and personal ballads and more catchy hooks than you can ever wish for! I was already a fan of Kelly Clarkson and was anticipating the release of Breakaway months in advance and even I couldn't have imagined anything this good. It's most definately one of those albums you can leave on and not skip any tracks and still find yourself singing along to every single track.
1. Breakaway - The opener, co-written by Avril Lavigne is anthemic and to be honest better live when the crowd sing it back but still a nice easy opener if a little decieving. Personally my least favorite on the album. 7/10
2. Since U Been Gone - Does this need any explanation? really? If Breakaway is the perfect pop/rock album, Since U Been Gone is the perfect pop/rock song. 10/10
3. Behind These Hazel Eyes - One of my personal favorites on the album. Dark, angry, emotional but still radio-friendly. Very melodic and killer bridges topped of with stellar vocals to rival Christina/Mariah etc. 10/10
4. Because Of You - The first ballad on the album, the lyrics are unbelievable when you think she was only 16 when she wrote this. The strings really make this song for me twinned with again outstanding vocals. 9/10
5. Gone - Very upbeat, used as the opener on the Addicted Tour and it really gets the crowd going. Very strong vocals throughout with a driving beat. 8/10
6. Addicted - A firm favorite among fans. "Haunting" sound and lyrics, powerful vocals and great control make this a standout track, if that's possible on this album! 8/10
7. Where Is Your Heart - Things really slow down here, soft vocals and piano that build up into powerhouse ballad. 8/10
8. Walk Away - Sassy, sexy, slinky single material, which was proven. The guitar riff sets the tone for the verses and kelly's voice takes over in the chorus. 9/10
9. You Found Me - A really uplifting, chilled out song once again kelly delivers with the vocals. 8/10
10. I Hate Myself For Losing You - Not a song about an ex...a song about family. Very emotional and brutally honest lyrics show how talented Clarkson really is. The emotion she conveys both with the lyrics and voice is astonishing. A sense of urgency prevails this monster of a song. 9/10
11. Hear Me - Another one of my personal favorites. Probably the most "Rock" song on the album driven by the heavy guitar riff in the chorus. For me the middle 8 sets this song apart. 10/10
12. Beautiful Disaster (Live) - A Live acoustic piano version of the song from her first album Thankful. She performed it on tour and said she loved the song and version so much she wanted it on her second album also and it's not hard to see why after hearing this beautiful version. Basically a stripped version of the before "dusty rock" song. Really makes you notice the lyrics and the emotion and control is her voice is conveyed so perfectly. 9/10
I would reccomend this album for anyone who's a music fan in generl, weather it be pop, rock, R&B, Soul, anything! You only hear albums like this once every so often and very rarely with an artist of such promise and modesty.
Description of Breakaway
European pressing of Clarkson's 2005 Sophomore album contains 12 tracks including 'Since U Been Gone', 'Behind These Hazel Eyes', 'Because Of You' and the live track 'Beautiful Disaster'. Sony/BMG.Kelly Clarkson could have played her American Idol-propelled career much differently, languishing in the role of dippy ing?nue or shunting her musical development by leaning too heavily on overnight stardom. Instead she dug in her heels and allowed good sense (or a good manager) to steer, and somewhere Simon Fuller and the rest of the TV gang ought to be smiling. Credit Breakaway, which couldn't be more aptly titled--the sophomore effort represents a seismic split from the thin if pretty debut, Thankful. Here we encounter Clarkson as superstar, with the humility that made her likable on the first disc tucked tightly under her arm. First single and leadoff track "Breakaway" topped the pop charts on arrival, and its rock-friendly thumps, dips, and rolls don't wear out their welcome. Instead,they blend into the firestorm of beats and guitars that is "Since U Been Gone," another shout-it-out rocker. Those songs set the tone for the rest of the disc in all its fury: The innocence is long gone, "Addicted" and "Hear Me" say. The big, expressive voice ringed by the occasional high-pitch trill--the one that prompted millions to get behind her on Idol--doesn't dip entirely off the radar, though. On "Where Is Your Heart" and the stunning live closer "Beautiful Disaster," it's there in full force--a hint, maybe, that despite the wide, smart career step Breakaway represents, her fans come first. -Tammy La Gorce
