Princess P
Princess P, American Idol season five finalist Paris Bennett's debut, trots out 16 urban-flavored tracks that are sensationally sung and at times uplifting. But the disc's goofiest number is the one that'll grow on listeners quickest: "Let Me Rap," a seriously silly hip-hop joint that finds Bennett swapping rhymes with fellow season five alum Kevin Covais, a.k.a. Chicken Little, is innocent, affectionate, and not-bad sounding. At a minute and 37 seconds, it cements a friendship ("Kevin always got your back/Like your coat do," spits Covais) that sets the tone for the rest of this not quite grown-up but not easily dismissed album. While "Get Bizzy" gets playful, "Caught Up" and "Can't Control Myself" keep it light with hand claps and a freewheeling vibe. Two late tracks, "I Will" and "Best Friends," back up the good-girl graciousness TV audiences loved, effectively belying the notion that princesses have to be prima donnas. Here, Bennett takes her throne with a wink and a giggle. --Tammy La Gorce
