Atomic Kitten Album: “Atomic Kitten”

Atomic Kitten are a girlband from England, who have been mighty successful everywhere in the world...except the U.S.A. It's a shame because their American debut is pretty good. They're better then some pop acts today (i.e. Justin Timberlake, "X-Tina") and their music is great from ballads to dance tracks. I'll bet on this act to be America's new sweethearts by the end of '03 and with an album like this, they could easily hang with likes of Madonna and Britney. Each tune is radio friendly like the first single, "The Tide is High," a cover of Blondie's tune from the '80's. The track listing goes as follows and each track is rated from one * to five *'s.

1.It's OK - [5 *'s] - This should be the next single, easily one of the best tracks on the album.

2.Be With You - ** - It's hard to follow up the opener and this falls right down hill after, "Ok." It's more of a dancey track.

3.The Tide Is High (Get The Feeling) - [5 *'s} - Great! This a great tune for the Spring. It is pop music.

4.Feels So Good - [3 *'s] - This is co-written by Kylie Minogue which gives away this is a dance track.

5.Walking On Water - [3 *'s] - Average track, slower than the others.

6.Love Doesn't Have To Hurt - [3 *'s] - A mid tempo pop tune, the new single for the U.K.

7.Love Won't Wait - ** - A track which I usually skip, definatly pop music.

8.Whole Again - [5 *'s] - This was the first U.S.A single released in April 2002, it never went anywhere so they left the U.S. to conquer the rest of the world. A slow ballad.

9.Last Goodbye - [5 *'s] - This track reminds me of Christmas, it is a slow ballad which is easily one of the best tracks on the album.

10.Right Now - [4 *'s]- The group's first U.K. single released in 1999, it reached #10. I could picture Kylie doing this track. It is fast dance pop.

11.Eternal Flame - [5 *'s] - The best track on the album. It is mid tempo and was originally sung by the Bangles.

12.The Moment You Leave Me - Another average pop track. A weak point on the album, I wouldn't have recommended to end with this.

The Liverpool trio has finally come across the pond and look certain to make a lasting mark on the US. "Atomic Kitten" combines the best of both their albums in the UK, a variety that includes ballads, dance tunes, and great pop songs.

The album starts off with It's Ok, an upbeat RnBish tune that peaked at #3 in the UK charts.

With the right promotion, the Kittens should take the US by storm!

The Kittens have released two albums - "Right Now" and "Feels So Good". This brilliant CD contains tracks from both CDs, kind of a greatest hits even though the girls are still going (they are recording their third album as we speak). But this CD is mostly tracks from their second CD. Here is my review:

1. Its OK

A cover of the Bangles classic, this song is fantastic. Tash's vocals sound soooooo good. From the first album. 5/5

Favourite songs:

1. The Tide Is High (Get The Feeling)

Some songs they should have considered putting on this CD:

"No One Loves You (Like I Love You)"

If you don't want to buy both of Atomic Kitten's albums, get this CD. It needs more tracks from the debut album, but overall this is a BRILLIANT CD that contains all the girls' best songs.

I bought this album when released in England and it is fantastic. It combines pop and r'n'b and with fantastic vocals this really is a great CD! The best tracks are The Last Goodbye, It's OK, and So Hot. I would reccommend this to everyone in the US as you'll be hearing a lot more of these gals soon :D

I've been an AK fan ever since Kerry was still in the group, I love all their songs and I'd kill to look like them LOL. Anyway I only own Right Now which I got imported a couple years ago. This is a good combination of songs from their two UK albums except I think they should've included See Ya (it was in the Bring It On OST), You Are & Cradle in it too- other than it's awesome! I really hope they make it big here- they're so good and they deserve it!
