Charlotte, Tarryn and Rachel are three young teenagers from the Manchester area who have joined forces to create Faithstyle, a group aiming to reach young people through catchy pop songs. Their debut CD features two songs, each in three different mixes and was produced by Andy Baker who has created the musical backing for the girls' ideas. Perhaps a shrewd choice for a producer since Andy himself released his first CD as an artist at 13 years old! The first version of each song on the CD is the straight forward pop version so you get the piano driven groove of "The Right Decision" featuring Charlotte Payne's lead vocals backed by the group's rapping opening things. The second song "Shines Thru Me" is a celebration with rapped verses and a catchy sung chorus. The further mixes of the songs in different styles bring out different flavours and there's an enjoyable instrumental mix of "Shines Thru Me" to close. Altogether a good debut effort although some of the production sounds a little dated and the girls' rapping is decidedly limp. But there's plenty of room for improvement.
