Well, as Debut albums go this must rate pretty highly regardless of your music taste. The reasons/s; she wrote or co-wrote all the songs herself (and the lyrics are great), the songs vary vastly in sound and effortlessly move between genres without detriment to the overall album sound, and, she really gets to show the full potential of her voice, and wow, what a voice! The lyrics are obv very personal to her - they're about her experiences and feelings. Some are positive and upbeat (e.g 'Mary Jane Shoes' - how wearing a great pair of shoes can make a gal feel great) through to some deeper subjects (e.g 'Pedestal' - how the Media Industry can be hurtful, or 'Voodoo Doll' - the dangers of drugs). Some songs are more fun and whimsical lyrically - 'Fergalicious' and 'Clumsy' are 2 examples, whereas some are more sober and reflective - 'Glamorous', 'Big Girls Don't Cry', and 'Finally'. Collaborators on this album include her band-mate Will.i.am, Ludacris, and Rita Marley (on the reggae sounding 'Mary Jane Shoes'). The rest of her Black Eyed Peas band-mates join her on the two bonus tracks to give two very different sounding songs. 'Get Your Hands Up' is very B.E.P's sound, whereas 'Wake Up' has a very Rock/Metal sound to it. I love this album for all the above reasons, even though it took a couple of listens for some of the songs to grow on me. I absolutely love 'Finally' (written about her boyfriend Josh) it's the best ballad i've heard in a long while. If you love a variety of music/the singles released so far/or the Black Eyed Peas then you HAVE to get this album.Read full review
The famous songs eg Big Girls Don't Cry are the best, also Finally is a slow ballad showing off Fergie's voice. There is a good mixture of different types of music.
Very, very good. Took me a couple of times of listening before i could make that my answer but yes. A fun easy going CD some of it you may think is B.E.P's but a lot is just Fergie doing what she does best, making music the great way!! Good stuff!!
