Lindsay Lohan Album: “Speak”

Description :

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. <p>Personnel include: Lindsay Lohan (vocals); John Shanks (guitar, keyboards, bass instrument); Jason Lader (keyboards, programming); Kristian Lundin (keyboards); Jeff Rothschild (drums, programming); Cory Rooney (background vocals). <p>Recording information: Poolhouse West, Encino, CA; The Village Recorder, Los Angeles, California. <p>Following in the footsteps of teen-actress-turned-singing-star Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan delivers SPEAK, an accomplished album of radio-ready pop. Balancing dance-floor grooves of the Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera variety with rock moves borrowed from the Avril Lavigne/Michelle Branch axis, Lohan sings with authority over razor-sharp club beats (the title track, "To Know Your Name") and amps-on-11 guitar riffs ("First") in equal measure. Along the way, she also tackles piano-driven power ballads ("Symptoms of You"), John Mayer-style jazzy, acoustic pop ("Something I Never Had"), and Gwen Stefani-esque electronica-informed rock ("Anything But Me"). Though Lohan had little to do with writing most of these songs, the lyrics are well suited to her unique situation of living in the public eye from a young age, and they often address the difficulties of maintaining close personal relationships. A surprisingly diverse and accomplished debut, SPEAK proves that Lohan has the mettle and talent necessary to compete with other young pop superstars.

Lindsay Lohan's "Speak" is not a deep, meaningful album, whatever that might be. And Lindsay should concentrate more on acting than singing. Nevertheless, "Speak" is an enjoyable pop album. It's got bouncy, catchy tunes and Lohan's voice is actually kind of interesting. "Speak" is a good album to throw on while doing stuff around the house or as background music to reading. You'll catch yourself tapping your foot. Overall, a pleasant surprise. The record has genuine merit to it and is not just something put out by a celebrity for the purpose of doing a "project" in another art form than the one they're already established in, which is the criticism from other reviewers. Solid job by Lindsay. Now if she just works at cleaning up her life.

Well it seems that lindsay and her producer made one good song- rumours, then just came up with about ten more for fun. She looks good and thats important. Don't buy this cd...i doubt her fans will even like it. If your that desprate for the song rumours then just buy the single..i wish someone told me that!
