Popstars
The debut album from Eden's Crush is a pleasant surprise for two reasons: one, the girls are well trained, with strong, tuneful voices; and two, the music is good--great, actually. Eden's Crush is the end result of a television show, Popstars, where young women from all over the country auditioned to be one of the five to "live their dreams." The executive producers of this album rely on the groups' talent, giving the Crush smart, upbeat material in which to sink their collective teeth. Fans of the show have heard more than a few of these tracks, especially the debut single "Get Over Yourself," a girl-power anthem kissing off a selfish ex-boyfriend. All the songs (every one a potential single) have the same underlying themes of strength and self-respect. These young women aren't waiting for a knight in shining armor, and their message of independence should play well with teen and preteen girls. Adult listeners won't be disappointed, either. A straightforward cover of the Sheila E. classic, "The Glamorous Life," is almost as much fun as the original. Yes, Eden's Crush is manufactured--a perfect mix of multicultural beauties with the flattest stomachs this side of Britney Spears--but so what? The music and the talent far exceed expectations. --Courtney Kemp
