Being Somebody builds on the success of Liberty X's debut and is more of the same pop-soaked R&B: raunchy but in a child-friendly format. Liberty X have matured into a major-league pop act and their sound has not yet become jaded, unlike so many bands on the same circuit. There is little here that stands out as amazing but by the same token there is nothing that stands out as bad. The album opens with a short musical skit bigging them up and continues with the first two singles, "Jumpin'" and "Being Nobody". These are clearly standouts, but the rest of the songs still hold their own.
With the UK charts currently being dominated by US pop-R&B, the influences on here couldn't be more apparent and nowhere more so than on "Whatcha Doin' Tonight", a funky electro-rock/hip-hop number in a frighteningly similar vein to Christina Aguilera's "Dirrrty".
Being Somebody is a decent collection of songs with good production but Liberty X are still a long way off their US counterparts. --Steve Beefmark
