Title: A Collage of Mediocrity !!
Review: If you're looking for old freestyle songs that bring back memories of the short-lived Freestyle/Latin Hip-hop era, than this is the perfect c.d. for you. "I'll Be Loving You", "Gangster of Love", "Diana" and "Tell Me Boy/Tell Me Girl" were all popular hits in that scene. From a musical perspective, the songs are all similar, cookie-cutter "Planet Rock" knockoffs with trite lovey-dovey vocals set in minor with similar, very simple chord progressions. "Cheap Thrills" and "From Here To Eternity" are perfect examples of producer Adam Marano's attempted compensation for creativity with weirdness. I don't know why they call this "freestyle", when it is anything but that.
Is the review positive or negative?
