Disadvantages: sickly in parts

This takes me back to the days of pure glory pop. This lot were just emerging. They had their own TV show and suddenly they were in the charts too, delivering catchy fruity pop anthems.

Who are they:

Jo, Rachel. Tina, Hannah, Paul, Jon and Bradley. Paul left to pursue a solo career, resulting in a name change from S Club 7 to S Club.

On this album:

The opening song is a breath of fresh air, a dose of clean safe pop music in the form of 'Bring It All Back.' The chorus is light and upbeat and it sounds like the kind of music that also have been used to advertise a kids breakfast cereal. It is almost too cheery for its own good...catchy though.

Highlights:

The brash 'S Club Party' is one that you could throw your hands in the air to, with a chant-like chorus and plenty of energy behind it, it would have equally suited The Backstreet Boys. I like the slower stuff more, check out the charming 'Two In A Million' which gives Jo's vocals a chance shine. It is a soppy ballad, sung convincingly and perfect for when you're in the mood for some love. There is a wonderful sixties throwback track in the form of 'You're My Number One' which has a nifty little rhythm which calls to mind The Ronettes!

Overall:

Coming in at a mere eleven tracks is a touch annoying and ending on the dreary 'Hope For The Future' was not very pleasing, but overall this is a bright and sparkly pop album.

Summary: bright pop
