Victoria Beckham

This album is truly a revelation! Even if you think you don't like the Spice Girls you really couldn't fail to appreciate this album. It is very easy listening, with most tracks produced with a real pop/r'n'b vibe. I wouldn't say this about many albums but I really do not get bored listening to this album... it's on constant repeat!

The album opens with the UK top 10 hit "Not Such An Innocent Girl". This track is one of the few tracks on the album that Victoria did not write. It is a real taster for the album. A mid-tempo track (a consistent theme for this album) that begins with Victoria politely telling us that "first impressions can be wrong", and so they can be! The next track is the 2nd single "A Mind Of It's Own" which begins with a laid-back spoken rap and builds up to a catchy chorus. "That Kind Of Girl" is an up-tempo ballad which talks of Victoria's desire for simple, uncomplicated love. "Like That" is Victoria in defensive mode. Here she is helping out a friend who is being treated badly by her man. "Girlfriend" is one of my favourite tracks on the album, co-written with Dane Bowers. Clever lyrics about the telephone confrontation between Victoria and a girl who has found Victoria's telephone number in her boyfriend's Calvin Kleins. "Midnight Fantasy"... probably speaks for it's self! One of the more uplifting tracks on the album. "IOU" is a touching ballad about Victoria's beautiful husband, England and Manchester United soccer star, David Beckham. "No Trix, No Games" is one of the more bland tracks on the album with Victoria telling the listener of her power over men... or maybe one man in particular! The 3rd single "I Wish" is about Victoria attempting to show restraint when it came to one of her first encounters with David. "Watcha Talkin' Bout" is my favourite track on the album. The track is about Geri Halliwell and her supposed new found fakeness. "Unconditional Love" is Victoria's statement about love. Give her fast cars, pearls, money... all she really wants is to see the love in her child's eyes. Speaking of Brooklyn, the last track "Every Part Of Me" even contains his laughing and giggling. A beautiful ballad about her love for Brooklyn and how she literally sees herself in him and what he does.
