Jump 5 / Jump 5 : 3 of 5
7.17.2004 7:27 PM \| Link	Jump 5 is one of the Radio Disney bands - I guess Disney has something to do with the promotion of these bands, since I first heard them on the two DisneyMania CDs (doing bubblegum versions of Beauty and the Beast and Welcome from Brother Bear). I thought these were two of the best tracks on the CDs, so I decided to try out one of their albums. It's actually pretty good music, and lots of the tunes are really fun, but I have to get past the fact that I'm listening to barely teenagers singing (the liner notes have a ridiculously embarrassing picture of the band, and two of the kids still have braces!). Still, these kiddos (three girls and two boys) have really nice voices and harmonize very well, and whoever does their production knows how to crank out the dance tracks. The opening cut, Spinnin' Around, is a definite hit, but my favorite is Change A Heart, Change The World, which has a nice singable melody. Start Jumpin' is so funny because it's almost a parody of this style of hip hop - it's a little silly to hear the kids singing this way, but I still kind of like it! All in all, this is a pretty fun CD, but I'm not sure if I'll be checking out any others by the band. Labels: cds
