Annie Album: “Don't Stop”

Finally, I am holding Annie's follow-up CD in my hands, it's been a long time coming-but totally worth it. This 2 disc edition is the one to get, as it includes songs from the earlier (unreleased) version of Don't Stop. An instant classic, better than Anniemal, not a stinker in the lot. My Faves: Hey Annie, Bad Times, Loco, My Love Is Better, Don't Stop, I Don't Like Your Band, Songs Remind Me Of You, Anthonio, I Can't Let Go, & I Know Your Girlfriend Hates Me...all electropop masterpieces. BUY THIS & make Annie the star she deserves to be. Wake Up People, stop buying Britney & Beyonce. ANNIE RULES!

This CD is good. Some songs sound like Kylie Minogue and others sound like Girls Aloud, so if you like that kind of music, you'll like this CD. The reason I give it 4 stars is because some of the songs I don't like, particularly "My Love Is Better" and "Heaven and Hell".

What is really cool is that the booklet is a thick paper. Its not that glossy paper that comes with other books, but a thick card stock type paper.

Couldn't wait to listen to this entire album, and I was not disappointed. There are some tracks that I continue to put on repeat over and over, and some that I don't pass up when they come on. A FEW tracks are a little boring but overall there is so much sweet and sexy charm and grace mixed with equally sweet and sexy beats that this album comes highly recommended.

Very upbeat? Musically interesting? I don;t review music purchases often, but I liked this enough to rate it. Annie has a breathless style of singing that I normally don't like, but she does it so well, I can't help but like this entire album. Good stuff.

The other day I was clearing out my old Q music magazines and I happened to see a blurb for Annie's Don't Stop.

I decided to go online and, on a whim, buy the whole thing. Pleasantly surprised more by its upbeat tempo and instant danceability potential than any unique sound (this is solid stuff, but hardly very original), I find Don't Stop to be great for working out. In particular, the title track "Don't Stop" and "I Don't Like Your Band" are straight-out disco infernos, songs you can't help but shamelessly move to in a frenzy.

Other appealing numbers include "The Breakfast Song," "Songs Remind Me of You," and "Heaven and Hell." Annie reminds me of a perfect cross between Ladyhawke and Kylie Minogue. I hope she'll be putting out a new album sometime in the near future!:)
