Music > Albums > Rachel Stevens - Funky Dory (2004) Retail CD
added on November 30, 2007, at 17:54 by musicworld

It's common these days to re-release an album with an extra few tracks. Released almost a year previously, Funky Dory by ex-S Clubber Rachel Stevens, is one such album. Thankfully, the most notable additional track is far superior to anything from last time round, the Richard X produced "Some Girls", a catchy tune best described as Goldfrapp doing the Eurovision song contest--quirky pop music at its very best. Other new bits include a re-working of "Breathe in Breathe Out", again a little bit electro but in a pop R&B stylee and lastly, a desperate cover of cheesy disco classic "More More More".Of the rest that remains from last years release,"Sweet Dreams My LA ex" is still a corker of a popsong as is the catchy title track (which samples aguitar from David Bowie's Hunky Dory album). While many would like to dismiss Rachel Stevens as the pretty one from S Club who'd never make it, Funky Dory is a surprisingly good pop album with minimal filler and a good-sized handful of killer songs.--Georgina Collins
