Music – Album Review – Jamelia: ‘Superstar – The Hits’ -…
Digital Spy – Sep 24, 2007
Fast-forward three years and Jamelia’s only musical activity is a hastily-assembled singles collection plagued by the unmistakable whiff of Woolies’ bargain bin: Superstar – The Hits features no new songs no new photos and no liner essay praising its auteur’s inestimable contribution to planet pop. But Superstar does present a neat snapshot of British pop music throughout the noughties. Early singles ‘Call Me’ and ‘Money’ with their fractured rhythm tracks cooing choruses and mock-operatic flourishes are hopelessly indebted to the US R’n'B of the time while ‘See It In A Boy’s Eyes’ a slice of soul-pop so tender it’s tempting to smother it in mint sauce and gorge on it in front of Antiques Roadshow on a Sunday afternoon ushered in a teeth-grinding new musical sub-genre: the Chris Martin urban crossover collaboration. And Jamelia wasn’t afraid to take the odd risk: ‘Thank You’ relates a chilling tale of domestic abuse “You hit you spit you split every bit of me” – over a backing track that melds elements of folk electro and R’n'B. Superstar also offers evidence that Jamelia became a more vital artist as her career progressed. The singles from Walk With Me her under-performing third platter are bolder beefier and more insistent than those from 2003’s double-platinum Thank You… But Superstar does present a neat snapshot of British pop music throughout the noughties.

The singles from Walk With Me her under-performing third platter are bolder beefier and more insistent than those from 2003’s double-platinum Thank You. ‘Something About You’ apes the Breakaway-era Kelly Clarkson trick of marrying surging rock guitars to an incendiary pop chorus while ‘No More’ builds a compelling gospel-soul workout around an instantly familiar sample from the Stranglers’ ‘Golden Brown’. And then there’s ‘Beware f The Dog’ on which Jamelia doesn’t so much jump on the electro bandwagon as leap into the engine room chuck Richard X out of the driver’s seat and steer the stolen locomotive towards dancefloor nirvana at 200mph.

You can probably throw in a bit of optics and IT as well. I see two big changes. First more and more of what once happened in the mechanical field has moved into the electronic domain. Consider the devices that play music. nce we depended on motors to turn vinyl platters and on a transducer that was in contact with the platter to play music. Then we went to a CD where we still needed a motor to spin a platter and another to move a transducer but the contact between transducer and media disappeared. Now with MP3 players there is no motor component at all.
