...............................

The album starts off quite strong, with some very catchy beats and rhythms, but as it progresses on further, the material seems a bit thinner. We start off with "Breathless", the single used as the first single released from the album. It's catchy, and fun. This is probably the strongest track for the Corrs on this album as far as chart success is concerned, and it has reflected in the UK charts debuting at #1 this week (10/7/00). It sounds very much like a Shania Twain song, and the violin presence is practically non existent. The album glides along the first few songs, both "Give me a reason" and "Somebody for someone"  are probably two of the more "Traditional Irish" tracks found here, with violin interludes. They are easy to the ear, have stylish vocals and harmonies which help the album progress into the more stand out tracks of this installment. We come to track 4 which is simply titled "Say". And this simplistic title is indicative of the very simple but yet infectious tune which will have you humming along.  The track starts with four catchy notes from the bass, entering into a very slick hook created by a synthesised keyboard to set the mood of the introduction. As usual, the content of Andrea's lyrics are about love, as are the majority of songs, at least the content they sing about hasn't changed much ! 

"All the love in the world" follows, which is the one that makes the album step up a higher level. Put simply, this is a great song. Classic Corrs, lyrically likened to their very first hit 4 years ago, "Runaway", where she sings of a love that is so grand, she would give all the love in the world to that right person. Andrea's vocals here are at their "pouty" best. She coos "..Dont wanna wake up alone anymore, still believin' you'll walk through my door. All I need is to know its for sure, that ill give all the love in the world..." .Its all very sweet, and although that "Irishness" isn't predominately present, it still purveys that Corr image and style with the tin whistle and a strong guitar section. A classic contemporary soft rock ballad.

"Radio" which first featured on the "Unplugged" album last year in 1999, is a bit of a disappointment here, returning as a remix. The original was already great, and it was immensely catchy. The hook is still present on this version, but  the whole song just seems drained. The excessive drum beat overclouds the main melodies a bit, and it just doesn't sound as good as the song that it was last year.
