Rachel Stevens - "Come and Get It"


"Come and Get It" is the second album by pop singer Rachel Stevens, who was a former member of S Club 7. It was released in 2005 and it's a really good pop album. It's much better than her first album "Funky Dory".

1. "So Good" - The second single from the album. This is a wonderful electro pop start and it's perfect for parties!

2. "I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)" - This tune was the third single and it is another stormer of a track. It continues with the electro pop vibe and it is one of my favourite tracks on the album!


3. "Crazy Boys" - This one is an up-beat track which fails to dissappoint, with its catchy hooks and quirky lyrics, it definitely should have been a single!


4. "I Will Be There" - I love this tune! It's a ballad type track, but it's really catchy. I love the feel of this track. I love the sense of emotion that you feel when you're listening to it. Definitely one of her best!


5. "Negotiate With Love" - The first single released from the album and it is a good track, with it's catchy lyrics and background music, but I think that there is way better tracks on this album that could've been a huge first single.


6. "It's All About Me" - A laid back track which is more R&B flavoured. While this in an interesting, experimental track, I think that Rachel should stick to the sound of "So Good".
7. "Secret Garden" - This is a nice, breezy tune which fits in nicely. Not a favourite of mine, but certainly worth a listen!


8. "Nothing Good About this Goodbye" - Apparently the planned fourth single. This tune is catchy and has a great feel to it. It is definitely single material!


9. "Some Girls" - This was also featured on Rachel's first album "Funky Dory" and it was a massive hit in the UK in 2004. I like the way that this is included. With it's catchy hooks and memorable lyrics, it fits into this album perfectly!


10. "Je M'appelle" - This is easily the most experimental track on the album. I have tried to get into this track, but I just find it weak and I think that it is the only filler on the album.

. "Funny How" - In the same style of the singles, "Funny How" is a song that delivers a great, catchy chorus, as well as satisfying lyrics. I love the overall vibe of this tune.

. "Every Little Thing (bonus track)" - A laid back track which is a great addition! I love the lyrics and the catchy beats.


13. "Dumb Dumb (bonus track)" - This tune is an up-beat track, which is another catchy track. I love the lyrics and the general beat of this track!


Best track: "I Will Be There"


Overall Rating:
10/10
"Come and Get It" is a great pop album. I love all of the singles that were released from the album, but I think that "I Will Be There" should have definitely been a single. Anyway, this album is fantastic. Almost all of the tracks are awesome pop tunes. If you like Girls Aloud or just general pop music, then you should look into getting this album. Give it a listen!
