Customer Reviews of This Album/CD

Billie Piper...
Submitted on: 2008-02-23

When I first heard the single "Day & Night" from this album, I wasn't looking forward to the rest of it because of the late 90's american pop somewhat hip hop feeling that it had given me. I caught another song a week later on the radio called "Something Deep Inside" and I just thought they were trying to turn her into some pop princess making dance club music. I have always loved Billie Piper since I first heard her single "Because We Want To" so I am a fan of her music and film work. Her first album is much better than this...it is fun and the songs are full of youth and days lasting forever. This album does have a few reminders that Billie Piper could have been more as a singer but when you feel the need to have a black man speaking over the intro to a song "From L.A. to U.K. Billie...", you know the song isn't the main focus. I'm kind of glad that she called it off after this release because if your heart isn't in it, you should not be making music so I respect her for that. You should own a copy of "Honey To The B" to fall in love with Billie Piper but this album doesn't do it for me.

Jack Collier's Billie Review
Submitted on: 2007-05-26

Billie here takes her music to a whole new level, while still maintaining her slightly jazzy and comfortable backgrounds, even when delving into the world of pop that reflects somewhat of a Britney/Christina feel. Many of the songs on this CD incorporate a rock back-beat with smooth lyrics and bold vocal harmonies, while some are more catchy ballads that stay on your mind and beckon you to have another listen. Definitely a CD for any Billie fan, or for anyone looking for music that is almost jazzy-oriented, definitely 2000's pop, augmented vocal harmonies, or a few songs with poignant rock back-beats. Billie delivers, in her sultry, persuasive voice, a great album that keeps you wanting more Piper.

Piper's Musical Farewell
Submitted on: 2006-12-20

The follow-up to her debut Honey to the B, Walk of Life (2000) is British actress Billie Piper's second and final CD. More slickly produced and featuring a bigger wall of sound than its predecessor, Walk of Life nevertheless hews closely to the formula set down on the first disk: highly processed synth-pop odes to love, sex, and independence. Sadly, this release marked the end of Piper's musical career: she would later crash and burn, then reinvent herself as an actress.

The big singles are all right up front: "Day and Night," "Something Deep Inside," and "Walk of Life." Of these three, the title track is clearly the standout, a wonderfully delivered love song whose sentiments are surprisingly sincere and free of cynicism. This might possibly be Piper's best vocal performance. Other highlights include a delightful cover of "The Tide is High," featuring a brief rap mid-song that pokes playful fun at Piper's celebrity, and "Run that by Me," the closest Piper gets to a straightforward rock number. But the real gem of this collection is the final track, "Misfocusing," whose lyrics are leagues more complex and mature than anything else Piper recorded, and her beautiful vocals are strongly reminiscent of a young Jewel. In hindsight, this song is like a sad coda to Piper's short-lived pop stardom.

Other strong numbers on the CD are "Safe with Me," "Ring My Bell," and "Promises." There's less filler than on Honey to the B: "Bring It On," "Because of You," and "What Game is This?" pad out the disk, but again, nothing cringe-inducing.

It's a shame that Piper turned so thoroughly away from music (though it's not surprising, given the difficulties she encountered). Nobody will ever mistake her for a great musician or a great vocalist, but she plainly had a knack for catchy pop, and her sheer bravado as a singer more than compensated for the weaknesses in her material. Her fans will probably always be left wondering what might have resulted had she ever teamed up with a more creative writing team and tackled more substantive material.

Billie was great in the new Doctor Who and hopefully she goes back to singing and makes some club albums

Billie's Best, Hopefully not her last
Submitted on: 2004-06-12

It is very unfortunate that she quit singing in 2001 when she was whisked away by Chris Evans. its been 3 years and she's blossuming as an actress after rave reviews in The Canterbery Tales: Miller's Tale.
Anyway, on with her album:
Billie has changed since her first album. This album (Walk of Life) is much more mature than her first album Honey to the B. Honey to the B was more sugary, Walk of Life's a whole new world. All her tracks were great to listen to. Highlights of the album are: Day & Night, Something Deep Inside, Safe With Me, Tide is High, What Game is this, and Misfocusing.
Overall:

1. Day & Night - Very very catchy, the single CD's have awesome remixes. If she gave effort in promoting this one in the US, she could easily have crushed Britney's Oops I Did It Again (they were released approx. the same time) _#1 IN THE UK_

2. Something Deep Inside - I heard the original first (radio mix is in the album), once I heard the one on the album (with earphones, I went CRAZY. It really "tickles" your ears and makes you move. _#2 IN THE UK_

3. Walk of Life - This single flopped in the UK, I knew it was gonna flop, because I felt it wasn't single material. Something tells me that billie felt forced to release this song because it was also her album title. This was her last single. This song has an overall different feel to the rest of her songs.

4. Safe With Me - An AWESOME ballad about someone who's afraid to love. Beautiful lyrics, similar to Walk of Life, but is MUCH MUCH better. If it was released (maybe mixed) it should max at #1.

5. Bring it On - Slightly annoying, But the music is upbeat and very catchy. not too bad.

6. Ring My Bell - Catchy, great tune, funny song.
7. Tide is High - remake of the previous Tide Is High (blondie's i think, not sure). Very Very Upbeat, with a tune similar to Madonna's "Don't Tell Me".

8. Run That By Me - Girl power song. It has a rock music feel to it. It certainly adds diversity. Lyrics are beautifully done. very edgy.

9. Promises - I'd say this one's a tad bit like Safe With Me, except a different topic. just a tad bit like SWM. Another ballad with beautiful lyrics.

10. Because of You - This song is great, only if it was remixed it would be perfect. Catchy, upbeat, but lacks a little something.

11. What game is this - Powerful song about cheating. I can see Avril Lavigne singing this song at the moment. Sounds like rock. (not punk rock)

12. Misfocusing - this is, to me, a celebrity's anthem. About the downsides of being a celebrity, you're friends betray you, and when the tabloids talk crap about you. Billie has experienced it all. Kinda puts you in billie's shoes and makes you think. Music is mellow.
