Schizophonic: From Amazon.co.uk
While hardly a masterpiece on
the order of "Say You'll Be There", the former Ginger
Spice's step into the solo arena does an acceptable job of
refashioning her into a "grownup" diva. Generally
underdeveloped material doesn't help but the thin-voiced
Halliwell acquits herself well enough on some pop-funk numbers
and when tweaking the sort of 60s high camp of which Robbie
Williams is so fond--especially on saucy single "Look At
Me". --Rickey Wright
What the Critics Say...
Rolling Stone (7/8-22, p.146) - 3 Stars (out of 5) -
"...surprising, undeniable charm. She's like a really
enthusiastic impersonator, so anxious to win you over that you
give in..."
Q Magazine (8/99, p.100) - 3 stars (out of 5) - "...it's
quite good fun. This goes for SCHIZOPHONIC as a whole....it
isn't haute cuisine, but then neither is pop music as a
whole....[It's] the kind of snack you can eat without ruining
your finer appitites." |
