Best Release of '99, Britney can eat crap!
I first purchased the album only because it was Geri. To be honest I thought it would be poor. I am happy to say I was wrong. VERY, VERY wrong!!! Geri, contrary to what some people might think does have a great vocal range. From ballads to disco to jazz to latin dance to...you get it already. I was blown away by it. For those about to listen to it. I would say that the album highlights are; 'Look At Me' (obviously); the disco track 'Bag It Up"; the latino number "Mi Chico Latino"; the uplifting 'Lift Me Up'; the best ballad of them all 'Walkaway'; and last but not least the sexy jazz number 'Goodnight Kiss'. The rest of the tracks, the churchy 'Sometime', the indian influenced 'Let Me Love You', the intospective day at the beach theme 'Someone's Watching Over Me' and finally the boppy 'You're In A Bubble' are all great. There's something for everyone and hey if you get bored of the cover you can change it to wicked Geri (it's double sided if you haven't noticed). Buy it now!

good but no spice
The album's standouts are Look at me, Bag it up and Goodnight kiss. Geri might not be the most talented person but she does have some catchy songs. I've found Someone's watching over me to be my favorite because she actually puts her heart into this one and also in Walkaway. On Goodnight Kiss her low husky voice sounds good because it just suits her voice for these kind of songs. The good songs are Look at me, Bag it up, Walkaway, Mi chico latino, Goodnight kiss and Someone's watching over me. The rest kinds of fall flat to the ground. The song Let me love you gets really annoying with her voice and the beat but the worst song on the album has to be Your in a bubble. The melody is really slow and boring and Geri's attempt to rap just doesn't sound good. I definitly prefer her second solo album over this one because this album is only good but no spice.

Snazzy sounds
This, to me, in retrospect, counts as one of the best solo Spice Girls albums.
All of the songs are quirky and quite fun to listen to, and the lyrics are amusingly insightful, with her unusual and likable voice topping the mix like hot fudge on a sundae.
From the camp-vamp-pop of "Look At Me", to dancier cuts like the Latin "Mi Chico Latino" and and the all-out disco of "Bag It Up", Geri carries the fun right through, even dispersing it in the ballads, which is quite rare these days, as most pop ballads tend to become filler and drag on, with groan-inducing kitsch.
Geri is quite keenly aware of kitsch and knows how to use it to its full advantage, so the smile sneaks up on you repeatedly when you listen.
Though her second album has its merits, this is to me, a quintessentially enjoyable pop record.
For the schizo, or the misunderstood, and for anyone, sit down with this album whenever!
