This album, from an American four-piece girl vocal group, came across exactly as I had anticipated. Although it is a technically polished presentation with quality, soulfully sweeping vocals and competent arrangements, it unfortunately lacks the kind of spark and imagination to grab your attention and make you want to play it over and over again. Formula too often takes the place of inspiration. The tracks are all at much the same pace and the main lyric line (especially in "Share The Love" and "I Wanna Be Yours") is repeated far too often. This made the album became boring and at times irritating, with many tracks seeming to last far beyond their four to five minute time scale. This was a shame as the songs in themselves, most notably the slight more energetic "God Says Wait", are not without some appeal. If these tracks could be remixed more clinically with a little less need to cram each song with vocal embellishments and with a greater use of instrumental breaks, this could have been an enjoyable album. But, with the quality soulful voices and an expensive production budget it could, and should, have been so much better.
