"Listen Up!" - Reviews Thread

[buzzenator]

I somewhat agree with the review, though not with the score of 3.5 out of 5. There are many diverse elements on the album, but there are 3 heavily disco infused songs (Now That You're Here, Walking On Heaven and What You Don't Know), and pointing that out is not being derogatory. I like the disco tracks, myself.

The 4 Motown infused tracks (Hit The Ground Running, Wasted Tears, Oh My and Wonderland) also are dance driven. To say she made an album that has a set of catchy, dance-oriented, hip, sexy, playful cuts is not off base. He also gave reference to her sultry, Amy Winehouse sound on Free and Liar, and to Mariah Carey for the sex-kitten pinup influence. Not such terrible company for cherubic li'l Haley.

Only thing I'd question is why so low on the score? For as glowing as the review was, the number should have been at least a 4 star. Prolly trying to save face with his/her Idol-hating friends/colleagues.

Haley Reinhart's 'Listen Up!': a track-by-track review by USATODAY:

Listen Up! -- out May 22 -- draws heavily on the neo-soul and girl-group R&B of artists like Adele, Duffy and the late Amy Winehouse. But Haley puts her distinctive twists on the genre, and fans of the Illinois singer likely will be thrilled with the way Listen Up! turned out.

Another very positive review for Haley.

Well, to be fair to Brian, her thighs are more visual experience than audio. lol
