added on August 28, 2007, at 01:50 by Sarge!

Following on from the international sucess of previous albums 'So Real' and 'I Wanna Be With You', Mandy Moore offers this selection of 13 outstanding tracks. If you were expecting the sweet pop of 'So Real' (summed up by the single Candy) or the ballad-led 'I Wanna Be With You' then think again. 'Mandy Moore' is a mature and varied album, although complete with the obvious ballads: From Loving You, When I Talk To You and Cry. Standout tracks, however, are those in which Moore collaborates with Emilio Estefan. In My Pocket, One Sided Love and It Only Took A Minute layer lush Eastern strings over throbbing beats, to dramatic and unusual effect. Crush, Yo-Yo and Split Chick are pure high-energy pop tunes, incredibly catchy and great to sing along to. Saturate Me is an epic song, complete with tribal drums, and You Remind Me flows along pleasantly. Even the slightly weaker tracks, 17 and Turn The Clock Around, improve after a few listens. Overall this is an album which can be listened to over and over. It certainly eclipses her previous hit records, and deservedly so due to its superior writing and originality. Definitely one for your CD collection!
