About this book
Teen pop is imbedding its catchy, yet provocative, lyrics into the minds of countless teenagers, so it's refreshing to see V*Enna offering a spiritual alternative with a high-energy sound. The duo-made up of Lucy Britten and Sharnessa Shelton-follows the pattern of old and new groups alike, from ABBA to ShineMK. The opening title cut and subsequent "Make That Noize" could easily be heard in a '70s disco club but just as feasibly appear in a hit video on MTV. The ladies don't just focus on the dance jams, though. They slow things down for some power pop ballads, like the uplifting "Sometimes" and the disc's finale "Don't Get Left Behind," a track bearing uncanny resemblance to the Spice Girls' "Goodbye." All together, the record risks sounding too similar from start to finish. Still, the disc has obvious potential appeal to young music fans, offering lyrics that are simple, catchy and repetitive. -- Andy Argyrakis (c) 2000 CCM Communications, Inc.
