"File under dishwater," commented one colleague when I made the mistake of playing this in the Cross Rhythms office. A spectacularly dull album by an American teen pop group which should have been good. Why should? Because the trio's debut, released in the UK with minimum publicity push, was a catchy piece of teen pop providing three turntable hits to Cross Rhythms radio. Here's the follow up. Despite all the signs of big money production, and plenty of well known names in the composer credits (Anointed, Scott Krippayne, etc) the material here is bland to the point of parody. If you know a young man whose testosterone levels may be helped by an airbrushed cover sleeve of three teenage lovelies, you may want to purchase. But as music, this is as banal as it gets.

"Spectacularly dull" and "teen pop group". Actually, i tend to think they are one of the more original groups, as compared to those like zoegirl who were "put" together. Don't forget Aurora is comprised of sisters who write and play their own instruments (even if they weren't included on the albums). Did you ever see them in concert? I was really touched by their ministry and heart for their audience.
Maybe you should think about the REASON they do this, and the quality of their harmonies. I would bet that is the very thing that seperates them from the rest of the put together girl groups!
