192: Holly's debut album gets the Kiss Kiss off from us.


HERE at 192, we've been given a sneak preview sneak preview
n.
A single public showing of a movie before its general release.

Noun 1. sneak preview - a preview to test audience reactions
 of Holly Valance's debut album Footprints. Our verdict? She ain't no Kylie.

The trouble is there are too many songs - 13 in all - and they're all very samey. At least four tracks have the same Eastern vibe as Kiss Kiss which, by the end of the album, becomes tiresome. Here's our verdict on the tracks. Overall, we'd give the album a 6/10 and we'd love to know what you think. Email us at the usual address.

Kiss Kiss - A surefire No.1 even if Jimmy Krankie had recorded it. 9/10

Tuck Your Shirt In - A poor man's Poor man's is a common slang term used to compare one thing with another. It is not necessarily a derogatory term. It is usually used in a sentence as "X is a poor man's Y", with "X" being the person or thing one is referring to, and "Y" being the superior but similar person or  version of Kiss Kiss. 5/10

Down Boy - Her second single sounds the same as the first. 6/10

City Ain't Big Enough - Guitars, no "Holly" beat. Very Spice Girls The Spice Girls are an English all-female pop group, formed in London in 1994. The Spice Girls, consisting of: Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, and Victoria Beckham signed to Virgin Records and released their debut single, "Wannabe", in 1996.  from the Goodbye era. 7/10

Cocktails And Parties - Pointless. 5/10

Whoop whoop (hldbomacp) the sonorous and convulsive inhalation of whooping cough.

whoop
n.
The paroxysmal gasp characteristic of whooping cough.
 - The verse, especially the Whoop bit, is infectious. 8/10

Hush Now - Electronic beeps don't hide a pop-by-numbers song. 5/10

All In The Mind - Yet more Bangra beats from the one-trick pony. 6/10

Harder They Come - Joyous, infectious slice of pop spoiled by the Pop Idol-theme ending. 8/10

Help Me Help You - Ballad for the under-10 market. 6/10

Naughty Girl - Mid tempo pop track sounds like Emma Bunton. 6/10

Connect - One of the better tunes. 7/10

Send My Best - Alanis Morrisette-type track that should never have made it beyond the demo stage. 4/10
