 Quirky & Fun but not as Catchy.

| Skye Sweetnam is on my long list of Guilty Pleasures. I usually have a good time tuning into her music. This one is good but not as catchy as "Noise From The Basement". "Sound Soldier" is a bit more animated in areas and experimental than "Noise From The Basement". Some of the topics are a bit strange like claiming that "Music Is My Boyfriend", Or living life as a "Cartoon". Which both happen to be two of the best tracks on the album. I also love the song "Boy Hunter" which sounds like it samples the bassline from one of Nine-Inch-Nails songs and features Skye's hip-hop counterpart Ak'sent from Inglewood California who's also female. "Boy Hunter" is a girl-power anthem about snatching up boys and having their way with them (What-a-song for someone of this Genre). "Kiss A Girl" also made my headspin a few times, It's a fun song and although it's different from Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" the shock value of a song with such a topic has already been explored and dealt with, we're over it. It's clear to me why Skye's music is so hard to market, because the sound is bubblegum and appeals to a kiddie crowd yet the situations she chooses to discuss are not something that pre-teens or anyone of this music Genre's audience could relate to (in most cases). I adore this chick but This album was sort of a dud. |

| I was a fan of Skye Sweetnam when her first cd came out and I couldn't find it anywhere near me. I was happy to see that Amazon had it available. It is a wonderful cd and I love all of her songs. |

I very much enjoyed Noise From the Basement, but as a debut CD there was definite room for improvement. When I found out Skye Sweetnam had followed up with a new release I had to find out what it was all about. It's about loud, brash, raw, and untamed, and I like it. I was pleased to discover that the sound is still the Skye I remember, even though the style has changed somewhat. With production by The Matrix, she's picked up a lot of the sound of Avril Lavigne without falling into the trap of being an Avril clone. It feels more like she grew into a high-octane, high-decibel, rough-edged kind of style that she was only hinting at in her first release, and now she's more at home with herself and her music.
The CD opens and closes with its defining tracks, "Music Is My Boyfriend" and "Babydoll Gone Wrong", which both backup her intense vocals with even more intense arrangement; I recommend watching the videos to get a feel for those since preview tracks are not available here. While "Make-Out Song", "My Favorite Tune", "Cartoon", and "Ultra" follow in this vein pretty well, there's enough variety on the CD that it doesn't get boring. "Human" is both more melodic and more electronic, with a sort of split-personality chorus that alternates between soft and hard. "Scary Love" is the only ballad on the disc. "Boyhunter" is also unique, somewhat rap in its style. "Ghosts" and "Into Action" both have a different feeling that's reminiscent of No Doubt; those two and "Kiss A Girl" are the most pop-oriented songs on the disc.
Will this new CD please everyone who loved the first one? That depends on what you liked it for. My favorite song off the original was "I Don't Really Like You"; most of this CD feels like a more mature followup on that. For those who preferred the more acid-bubblegum quality of young Skye, that may seem like it's missing here, but I can hear a playful streak coming out in more than a few songs (especially "Cartoon"). There may be more acid than bubblegum now, but Skye has grown up a bit, and I like the sound of the grown-up Skye even better. |
