Average Pop Music.......2007-04-25

"Day & Night" is one of the best pop songs ever, in my opinion. Billie Piper sings very beautifully and self-confidently every song. There's of course the hits "Something Deep Inside", "Bring It On", and the title track. Still, I waited more. Most of the songs are just average basic pop with no real massage and nothing new to give for the music world. "The Tide Is High" is ruined by rappers and defintely not as good as Blondie's version...not even nearly. Still, I like Billie Piper's voice, and she is so sweet.

Highly Underrated Sophomore Set.......2002-01-24

Billie Piper first surfaced as just Billie back in 1999 with her debut set HONEY TO THE B, which was coincidentally released after Britney Spears' debut and just prior to Christina Aguilera's freshman disc. However, as everyone knows(or more precisely DOESN"T know), she got lost in the shuffle--HONEY TO THE B saw absolutely no action other than in her native UK, where is was fairly successful. Now we have WALK OF LIFE, her second release, which was released internationally save for the US. Which is too bad, because it's a better record than her debut and goes to show why European pop music is often infinitely better than that of its' US counterparts. Granted, the album's first two tracks,'Day and Night' and 'Something Deep Inside', cater a little too willingly to the Britney/BSB formula, but once you get past that it's pretty smooth sailing.The title track is first-rate pop, and the exquisite 'Safe With Me' is a definite keeper. And if nothing else here quite reaches those heights, at least she manages to fill out the rest of the album with some pretty solid tunes(and her cover of Blondie's 'The Tide Is High', though bereft of its' reggae touches, isn't nearly as bad as those covers Britney keeps force-feeding us). Fans of great pop should do some further investigating.

Billie veers towards BSB and Britney, but not bad.......2001-12-04

Hello, and welcome to review forum. Today's review question:
Does Walk Of Life make Billie Piper the UK's Britney Spears? That question answered after this review.

The first two singles are the first two songs on the album. "Day & Night" has a suspiciously BSB sound, what with the power pop chords pounded out like "Backstreet's Back" and "Larger Than Life". That makes me cringe, but the chorus and the reminder that it is a British popster doing it alleviates my gut. As for "Something Deep Inside", her voice is Britneyesque, as is the chorus and styling, comparable to Britney's songs.

Listening to the title track reminds me once more how British pop is superior to American pop, as I mentioned in my Kylie reviews.
This is the sort of music that could've saved the Spice Girls in the post-Geri era. I don't know if this dreamy, keyboard-oriented song is planned as a single, but if it is, good move!

"Ring My Bell" not the Gloria Gaynor disco hit, is a mid-paced number that has Billie dipping into the Spice Girls' filler cupboard from Spice and adding a Christmas tree worth of keyboards, while "Run That By Me" has her tearing a page from the book of All Saints.

Her cover of Blondie's "The Tide Is High" is done tastefully, with some male rap dialogue interspersed within and a Phil Spectorish wall of sound discernable. My favorite on this album, with "Walk Of Life" close at #2.

The over-reliance of the layered wall to wall backing chorus does not give Billie's vocal talents a chance to shine through as they did on her previous effort.
