Title: A New Side To A Promising Young Singer
Review: In her debut album at the 12 year old Becky Taylor showed a precocious talent singing showtunes. In her sophomore effort Taylor goes in another direction entirely singing pop, abandoning her soprano voice in favor of a more sensual mix of head and chest voices. It's not as natural to her but it's an effort to do something a bit different. Taylor's idea of pop isn't the bubblegum, candy coated stuff of her peers either. She covers well known tunes like "You Raise Me Up" but really shines on lesser known pieces like Cat Stevens' "Into White", "It Is You (I Have Loved)", and "The Last Words You Said". Still in her teens Taylor seems to be exploring her voice and trying to discover what it's suited for. It makes it that much more interesting to wonder what her third album will bring.
