Music reviews of A Girl Like Me
Music Review: Music Of the Sun pt. 2
Rating: 4 Stars
A Girl Like Me is a continuation of Music of the Sun with Rnb and Reggae songs. This time there are more ballads. After listening to this album and music of the sun, i would say that the music and the lyrics have improved. yet, i stil feel that her voice is not strong enough to sing ballads like unfaithful. she sounds out of pitch at times. she sounds better singing dance, uptempo songs like sos and break it off. overall, i still think this album is good and worth listening to despite some flaws.
TOP 5:
1) SOS-the song that really stands out. it has an 80s sample of soft cell's tainted love.
2) Break It Off-her and sean paul sound hot together. it's a great dancehall song.
3) P.S. (I'm Still Not Over You)-it's really nice and laidback. she sounds good here. sounds almost babyface influenced
4) Selfish Girl-i love the reggae beats in this song. it hits closer to home and my jamaican roots.
5) Kisses Don't Lie-it's a reggae song with a little guitar thrown in.
Honorable Mention: Unfaithful-one of the few nice ballads on the album even though her vocals are not perfect.
Description of A Girl Like Me
With A Girl Like Me, the Barbadian teen-queen Rihanna is looking to transfer all claims of royalty to the summertime pop charts. If anybody's going to rule them, she pretty much proclaims by way of "SOS," a song no less irresistible, intoxicating, and all-out cool than 2005's "Pon de Replay," off her debut, she's it. That's not to say this new disc is anything like its predecessor overall. Where Music of the Sun was mostly what its title suggests--a romp through an anglo-friendly island with no sunscreen required--A Girl Like Me is more reflective and a little rueful; you get the sense it was crafted in part to show her range, with executive producer Jay-Z guiding her through it gracefully. "Unfaithful" is a noir-ish testing of the R&B waters, and it goes so well that Rihanna wastes no time skinny-dipping her way into the deep end--"Final Goodbye," "P.S. (I'm Still Not Over You)," and "A Million Miles Away" all betray juicy bits of Beyonce. Back in barefoot bikini-girl land, though--a territory that covers roughly half this disc--the party's still going strong. Rihanna gives dancehall legend Sean Paul a run for his money with the bouncing "Break It Off," and "We Ride" makes you want to roll down the windows and stick your head out the passenger side. Crank it up and keep the sunglasses handy. --Tammy La GorceWith A Girl Like Me, the Barbadian teen-queen Rihanna is looking to transfer all claims of royalty to the summertime pop charts.
