Right Now

I’ve never heard of atomic kitten I checked them out on YouTube I was like I like them they are really good girl group I love the big singles like right now it has that disco feel to it see ya which is an underrated song, cradle which is one of my favorite songs from the album also you are I love that song as well.

I love this CD, and I love different knind's of music. But this kind of dancy pop is so addictive, that I cannot take this cd out of my cd player. I swear, it is well worth the purchase, and I will never bore of my fave songs such as Whole Again, Eternal Flame and Cradle.All the songs on this cd are either full of energy or soulfull ballads. Ths one is a winner! So original and superb.A must have for pop or Atomic Kitten fans.

Love them all keep them all coming a have a happy and wonderful but safe new year.

platinum album excellent newmeyer

Most American audiences may have gotten a taste of British pop trio Atomic Kitten when their song "See Ya" ended up on the Bring It On soundtrack and figured, hiss!, it's a hairball! Let me say first off that "See Ya" is an okay song but one listen to the rest of Right Now, their debut, and you'll discover 24 carat catnip.The kitty treats, er... tracks, are a real meow mix here. AK must have grown up on old school disco, especially with the opening of the title track, "Turn Me On", and "Do What You Want". There's even some of that funky wicka-wacka sound present that starts off the "Theme From Shaft" inside. However, the influence of the Spice Girls sound is also clearly present here, with a few more bells, whistles, whooshes, and other funky sounds added so as not to make them a me-too version of Spice.Feature tracks? "I Want Your Love" shows that Steps doesn't have the monopoly in putting countrified touches on songs like "5 6 7 8". That's due to the orchestra string sample of "Big Country" interspersed throughout the song in contrast to the hee-haw guitars on Steps' tune.And now, the centerpiece of the album, namely the gorgeous heartfelt ballad "Whole Again", replete with its gospel-like chorus. A running time of 3:03 adds to its radio-friendliness. Small wonder this song purred for 3 weeks at the top of the UK singles chart. They were singing this for what their 27 lives were worth. This song reminds me of Chicago's "Look Away", which had a similar theme."Get Real" and "Hippy" shows their R&B side, a la All Saints.The closer, "Strangers", about the telltales signs of a breakup, has some Chinese music sampled and string arrangements. To which Confucius say, "Listening to Atomic Kitten is like having tummy scratched. Very refreshing and fun."I hope they get a well-deserved push in the U.S., because when it comes to pop music, Atomic Kitten are the cat's meow. So, meow! And meow! And... meow! meow! meow! meow! meow! meow! meow! meow! meow! meow! meow! meow! meow! meow!

Most reviews for this CD are based on how strong the songs on this album are without seeing the song-writing partnership behind Atomic Kitten. This is fine for those who just like this genre, but most of those who aren't into teen boy/girl bands will probably dismiss this without a thought. For anyone who doesn't know, this partnership is Andy McCluskey and Stuart Kershaw from OMD. Who? Only one of the best synthpop groups of the 80's, remember Enola Gay and Joan of Arc? This group was formed by McCluskey when the popularity of OMD waned in the mid-90's.I've been watching their progress with interest, but only recently took the plunge to buy this album. I'm 33 years old and a big 80's and modern synthpop fan and regardless of the decent songwriters I had fears that this might be typical boy/girl band pap. I was gloriously wrong. McCluskey and Kershaw have geared this firmly towards the teen market but the songs are very strong and quite diverse in sound. McCluskey and Kershaw have written 11 out of the 14 songs on this album and did most of the programming and keyboards. This is pedigree.I have to say that the girls vocals fit the style of songs quite impressively and I'm sorry to have waited for so long. Some are the ballads that you would expect, but the majority are a mix between glorious sing-a-longs or quite quirky songs that you would expect of OMD.Favourite songs: Right Now, Whole Again, Strangers (with sitar...) and I Want Your Love. The latter uses a sample of The Big Country by The City Of Prague Philharmonic orchestra, some may remember this from the 808 State hit The Only Rhyme That Bites back in the late 80's (it's better here!).Shows a lot of promise in proving that the OMD song-writing is still as strong as ever, don't think we'll see Romance Of The Telescope Part II though...

Fab selection of songs but did not like the version of bye now because it did not sound as good as the original and was slow.

Wanted to hear some of what they did. They are OK but do not match The Supremes or Motown female acts.

Very cheap to buy now, and a good album.

Great CD, i've got it in the car.

Brilliant

I haven't got around to listen to it but it is nice to listen each night I sleep, so much.

Amazing!!!

Ein gelungenes und abwechslungsreiches Album mit schönen langsameren Songs und tollen Pop-Dance Tracks.Meine Anspieltipps wären: #5 "Tomorrow & tonigt", #11 "Bye now" + #13 "See ya""Richtige" Balladen: #4 "Eternal flame" (schöne Cover-Version von den Bangles), #10 "Cradle", #12 "Strangers"Es gibt mehrere ruhigere Songs, die ich nicht unbedingt unter dem o. g. Punkt einordnen würde, wie #3 "Whole again" - einer der besten Songs auf dieser CD.Die Mischung der verschiedenen Stile auf der CD machen sie durchgängig hörenswert. Auch, wenn die CD aus Anfang 2000/2001ist!!!Tolle CD

Lediglich 3 Musiktitel waren mir bekannt, aber das liegt ja an meinem Geschmack. Für das Geld ist die Ware absolut o.K.
