Cheyenne Kimball Album: “The Day Has Come”

Now this is what I call rocking music. I first heard Cheyenne's "One Original Thing" on the movie, Aquamarine, and got hooked on it. I purely bought the CD just for that one song, then found out, there were so many other great ones. "Hanging On" and "Original Thing", title track "Day Has Come", "Everything to Lose", "Mr. Beautiful", "Four Walls" and "Full Circle" are ones worth listening to over and over again. I never get tired of them. 'Hello Goodbye', 'Good go bad' and 'Didn't I' are growing on me-more and more, "Breaking your heart" is edgy along with 'I want to'. This is definitely the type of music to have at a party to dance all night long to, she makes me wanna dance and never stop. This Texan is definitely has a lot of potential!

Cheyenne is a ver good singer this album is a very good album i would recomend this to anyone who likes pop/ pop rock this album just shows her potential....her second album being recorded in nashville as of now) should be even better andf this album is pretty amazing so if its better then this i really am anticipating it!!

The best songs:

i want to

hanging on

one original thin

the day has come

four walls

hello goodbye

good go bad

everything to loose

breaking your heart

full circle

Cheyenne Kimball can sure be rocking it on her first album! It took me 25 days to listen to it, but it is a consistent effort. This succeeds far beyond the MTV show she did of the making of this album. All the numbers are full of energy, solid melodies and rhythms, and heavy on the guitars! Her guitar playing is dynamic on all numbers and she's a good songwriter. Sure, she had people like Kara Dioguardi, Greg Wells, Eddie Head, Raine Maida, Chantal Kreviazuk, Billy Mann, Scott Cutler and Anne Preven to produce the songs, but this album is all Cheyenne. Of course she's new, but her approach gives Kelly Clarkson a run for her money on the rock end. You don't even think about the outside help of 7 producers for this effort, because you are all into Cheyenne's own sound and musical vision. One of the more exciting and refreshing debuts that I've listened to this year.

Tagged as a singer-songwriter, Cheyenne Kimball sure does disappoint. The "geniuses" at MTV make her out to be this deep Tori Amos/Sarah McLachlan type girl, but all we get is a pre-packaged pop star. The lyrics are so juvenile, and they weren't even written solely by her. "So what if they're juvenile, she's a teenager and her music is marketed towards teenagers." Well, listen to Fiona Apple's 'Tidal', or Bonnie Mckee's 'Trouble'. Both of those albums were released by talented VOCALISTS in their teens who didn't have a team of songwriters behind them. Don't fall for the Avril Lavigne formula ("she's a songwriter"). And if you saw Cheyenne's performance on TRL or her duet with Sheryl Crow, you know she can't hold a tune. Don't contribute to the dumbing down of society by buying this CD. Do yourself a favor and stay FAR away.

okay i loved the cd when i first heard it and the songs and tunes are very catchy and hip and i also love the song "Didnt I". i would have rated this cd a 5 stars. but if you compare her actual singing VOICE to artists like avril lavigne, aly and aj, or JOJO you can see whitch singers are really good. Cause avril, aly and aj, and jojos voices are seroudly POWERFUL. THeyre great singers and some singers out there now a days are just Good. singers are SUPPOSed To BE AMazing. Shes good. and she knows how to put a good song together but her voice is too high pitched and weak to do amazing type songs.
