B*Witched - B*Witched

Was having a good old sort out and came across this old debut album from the girls of B*witched and thought I would write a review on it. This album was relased back in 1999,around the height of cheesy and corny pop tracks, this album was no exception. This album offers a couple of well known songs/hits from the band such as C'est La Vie and Rollercoaster. Even though Im not a fan anymore I really think this album is a good pick me up,its got some catchy little tracks on that make you just want to get up and have a sing and dance,even if they do get a little irritating after a while. The tracklisting for the album I have is as ...  Read the complete review

This takes me back! The days when denim was all the rage and you could jump around with an Irish jig in your step. This lot were all the rage in the late nineties and died a swift and unexpected commercial death about three years later. Who are they: Irish female singers, Keavy, Lindsay, Sinead and Edele, if my memory serves me right. Two of them were sisters. Type of music: Unadulturated bubblegum pop with an Irish charm.

I don't know whether this was code, but ...  Read the complete review

Well to be honest, I was expecting worse. It took me the time it took for the sequel for this album to come for me to decide that this isnt so bad. You can hardly argue with 4 straight No.1's from a debut album, and when they go full belt, this is very good pop. My favourite has to be the Xmassy 'To you I belong', very pretty and fluffy. But there are a few rubbishy ones on there - like 'hey mr. postman', but i mean im hardly the target audience!! the kids will love this. Its not the normal faceless manufactured pop - the talent is there, as the second album shows, but still it helps to have a good pop producer and writer behind you. Too short ...  Read the complete review

B*Witched's debut album is a nice, harmless, poppy kind of album, which is very upbeat and enjoyable. Although not of any great musical substance, it is nice to listen to and sing along to or bop around the kitchen ! One of my favourite songs on the album is the beautiful ballad 'Like A Rose' which was never released as a single, but it shows much more depth and maturity than the earlier singles displayed, and is a good indocator of the tone of the second album. All the usual expected hits are on here too, with Rollercoaster and Blame It On The Weathermen alongside their first hit, C'est La Vie. Castles In The Air ...  Read the complete review
