Description:
Billie's not the sweet and innocent pop starlet she once was, becau se Billie's learnt to be sexy. More than just adding Piper to her name, her complete pop overhaul means that the sugary sweet melodies, cutesy vocals and songs about playing music loud because she wants to and asking boys if they have a girlfriend are all gone. Instead, her second album is awash with sophisticated tunes, slickly stylised production and seductive vocals--even on the girlie "Ring My Bell", the beats are sexy, the groove is sultry and every word is breathlessly moaned.

Billie's not the sweet and innocent pop starlet she once was, becau se Billie's learnt to be sexy. More than just adding Piper to her name, her complete pop overhaul means that the sugary sweet melodies, cutesy vocals and songs about playing music loud because she wants to and asking boys if they have a girlfriend are all gone. Instead, her second album is awash with sophisticated tunes, slickly stylised production and seductive vocals--even on the girlie "Ring My Bell", the beats are sexy, the groove is sultry and every word is breathlessly moaned. Her second album was always going to be more grown up. For starters, Billie's not fifteen anymore, but with Britney fever gripping the planet almost as soon as Billie had put out first single, this transformation was essential if she was going survive as a popstar. And as transformations go, the pneumatic pop and R&B tinge of singles "Day And Night" and "Something Deep Inside", and the All Saints-styled "Run That By Me" make this a pretty spectacular one, putting her up there with Britney Spears, while keeping a UK edge that ensures she's still a little bit Billie. --Dan Gennoe
