| Most enjoyable light listening songs and music. I bought the cd after seeing her on Doctor Who and was pleasantly surprised. Well worth a listen. |

 7/8 Singles, Good B-sides and Exclusive B-Sides

OK, first things first. I disagree when one of the other reviewers said that "I Dream" isn't very good. I love it, but that doesn't mean he/she is wrong. Everyone has a right to opinion. Also, for some weird reason, all of Billie's singles (Because We Want To, Girlfriend, She Wants You, Last Christmas, Honey To The Bee, Day & Night, Something Deep Inside and Walk of Life) were included on this album except Last Chrsitmas. Why? Oh well, this album is brilliant. It has 3 different front covers (this one is the 2nd one. The other 2 have white backrounds, the 1st one has the text displayed differently and the 3rd one has no text at all. I've got the 3rd cover), 15 tracks (7 singles, 4 B-Sides, 3 Exclusive B-Sides and 1 unreleased single) and some editions come with a poster of this cheeky cover.
1. Because We Want To - 5 Stars (out of 5) (single, album: Honey To The B)
2. Girlfriend (Radio Mix) - 5 Stars (single, album: Honey To The B (USA))
3. She Wants You - 5 Stars (single, album: Honey To The B)
4. Party on the Phone - 5 Stars (B-Side, album: Honey To The B)
5. The Tide Is High - 5 Stars (unreleased single, album: Walk of Life)
6. Honey To The Bee - 5 Stars (single, album: Honey To The B)
7. I Dream - 5 Stars (B-Side, album: Honey To The B)
8. Day & Night - 5 Stars (single, album: Walk of Life)
9. Bring It On - 4 Stars (B-Side, album: Walk of Life)
10. Promises - 5 Stars (B-Side, album: Walk of Life)
11. Something Deep Inside - 5 Stars (single, album: Walk of Life)
12. First Love - 5 Stars (Exclusive B-Side, single: Something Deep Inside CD1)
13. G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T. - 4 Stars (Exclusive B-Side, single: Because We Want To CD1)
14. Caress The Gold - 5 Stars (Exclusive B-Side, single: Walk of Life CD1)
15. Walk of Life - 5 Stars (single, album: Walk of Life)
It should be noted about the Exclusive B-Sides, that not all editions in other countries will have them included. E.G. : The Australian single of "Something Deep Inside" does not have "First Love" included. |

Gets Better Each Time

Yes, I'm a "Doctor Who" fan and, yes, I didn't know a thing about Billie Piper until I saw her take off in the TARDIS with Christopher Eccleston as Rose Tyler. Still, her acting skills and (let's be honest here) her looks interested me enough to seek out all things Billie. What I found was a surprisingly good pop singing career that appears to have burned out all too quickly. I don't consider myself a huge pop music fan, but I do enjoy some of it. I like the old stuff I grew up with in the 80's, as well as a few artists that my daughter listens to. She has me listening to bubblegummers like Ashley Tisdale, Miley Cyrus, and Everlife. She's also a "Who" fan like me and absolutely adores Rose Tyler. With this in mind, I nabbed "The Best of Billie" hoping to somehow tie these two interests together. It worked.
Piper's music, like most pop, is easily digestable. It isn't quite as forgettable as some of her contemporaries though. The album opens up with the very Spice Girl sounding tunes "Because We Want To" and "Girlfriend." Although I like "Girlfriend," "Because We Want To" does grate my nerves a bit. It's definitely a tune for the younger set, and my daughter loves to sing along with it. The real gems on this album for me are "Tide Is High" (which my daughter has dubbed her favorite), "Day & Night," "First Love" and "Walk of Life." My personal favorite is the soul-lite popper, "Honey To The Bee." I can honestly say that this album sounds better each time I listen to it. That's a rare thing for me to say about a pop album.
I do hope that Billie decides to make another album somewhere down the line. She appears to have survived her teen pop star years unscathed, and definitely increased her popularity (at least among us geeks) when she stepped out of the blue police call box. I recommend this album to pop and dance fans as well as anybody who's interested in Billie's career outside of acting. |
