I
spent my new years watching HGTV and in Rock the Block, Jonathan and
Jordan were one of the contestants in that show. I liked their house the
most but I knew they won't win when they made that basement into a
recording studio. Very pretty but it's just too niche for this kind of
show where the value is in how many people they can sell it to. Still I
rooted for them, my second choice was the Hawaiian couple (they also
lost).
Now, I'm quite familiar with these 2 because NKOTB had
collaborated with Lady Gaga a few years ago... Big Girl Now and Full
Service from their album The Block (great songs!), but that's all I know
about them, haven't checked the other tracks in that album also. I was a
huge fan of her when I was a kid because she's fun, different from the
other pop stars at that moment and her songs are catchy.
Anyway,
few days after that, I was listening to the radio omw to work and they
played the song Give it to You by Jordan Knight. So good I thought
it must have been divine intervention or something because I remembered
watching him on tv few days before (I keep saying few days here :P). So,
after I reached office, I set up my laptop and everything and went
straight to Apple Music to play the whole album.
Give It To You - 100% bop
A Different Party - so fun!!!
Change My Ways - so good!!!
I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man - erm
It
sounds good if you ignore the lyrics because I think by turning it into
a sappy ballad, it strips off the fun of that song (imo it's a
funny and not serious song). But still I won't call it bad or terrible. Thankfully the
next few tracks are good. Absolute fav is Don't Run. Mariah already uses
this sample for The Roof (fkin good), it's hard to beat that one but
this one is still very good. Separate Ways also amazing. The last 2 tracks are okay. The remix is
okay. The European bonus track Can I Come Over Tonight is also nice.
This album has made me a Jordan Knight fan. What do you guys call yourselves??? I'm that now :*
