As I listened to the first five songs off of Paula DeAnda's self-titled debut album, I was completely engaged in the melodic beats, with her voice being a perfect fit for the material she decided to record here. She did hit some bumps along the way throughout the last eight tracks, particularly the awful track "I'll Be Down For You," but overall it was quite a nice surprise. Here is a description of some tracks from this CD:
1)Doing Too Much - the opening track, and a nice little tune with a catchy chorus and a little rap from Baby Bash. Very upbeat, and although the lyrics are a little juvenile at times, we've all experienced teenage love at some point.
2)Walk Away - My favorite. WHAT A CHORUS! No surprise, it was co-written by the very talented Christina Milian. Would have been a killer track without the added uh's and uh huh, yeah's (the universal sophisticated language of hip-hop). Could be remixed into a killer trance tune.
3)When it Was Me - Great summertime song, and no guest vocalists either. Sung beautifully, short and sweet. The lyrics will not be confused with Dylan, but the music is on par with the best out there today.
4)Overloved - a ballad written by veteran songriter Diane Warren (who wrote bundles of chart-topping hits in the late 80's and early 90's including "Love Will Lead You Back" by Taylor Dayne.) Good song to slow the pace of the uptempo songs here.
5)Let's Go Out Tonight - One that will grow on you. DeAnda's breezy vocals wrap around a piano and synth beat that is similar in melody and style to Joe Jackson's "Steppin Out" which is ironic given the title of the song, maybe it was intended to be, I don't know. But a good track regardless. Great music, very simple lyrics. Read more &rsaquo,
