Editorial Reviews

2009 release, the U.S. debut album from the Korean superstar who has taken Asia by storm ever since she released her debut album in 2000 at the age of 13. Influenced by Janet Jackson, Nelly and other hot Hip Hop and R&B artists, Boa conquered her home country before heading off to Japan to become even more popular than ever. As she has matured musically, she has managed to make a successful transformation from young pop star to mature artist. In 2009, after nearly a decade in the business, she now releases her American debut album. 12 tracks including 'Girls On Top', 'Look Who's Talking' and 'I Did It For Love'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great first album by BoA, March 17, 2009

I received BoA's album yesterday, and my first impression was that I thought she did a really great job on this album! The whole album consist of dance track songs and the lyrics are catchy and her English is very clear as well. What I love about this album is that she included a couple songs that she did in Korea... she just put English lyrics in them. My favorite out of these 2 is Girls on Top. She still maintained the main message from her Korean version. So at least the American people who has never listened to BoA before will get a taste of how her music is in Korea.

Anyways, this album is a lot better than what I expected. I was afraid she might have some songs that wont be all that great, but I found all 11 songs to be different in their own way, that has catchy lyrics and nothing annoying about them. Even the added features like adding that electric part to her voice isn't in all her songs, or in a lot of the song. So you can hear her powerful, real voice.

Well I hope others will feel the same way as me. Of course everyone has different taste. So let's all support BoA! And i hope people who has never heard of BoA will try to listen to her and buy her album. ^_^

5.0 out of 5 stars Pop at its best, March 17, 2009

Honestly... I was waiting for BoA's album for a quite a long time, and when I heard the 30 sec clips, I was kind of disappointed with how the album turned out to be. But after listening to the whole album, all I can say is WOW! Even though BoA's music is basically mainstream pop, if you're looking for an album that you can just listen to, have fun, and sing along to, you won't find another pop album that is as catchy, funky, groovy, and danceable as this.

Every song on this album deserves an airplay, and I'm not saying this just because they're by BoA. The songs are that catchy.

4.0 out of 5 stars BoA's English Album, March 17, 2009

This CD is pretty good, though in my opinion nothing beats the old Korean BoA. The Album is chock full of electronic dance beats and really makes you wanna move. The song Girls on Top is the English version of the title track for her 2005 Korean album. The English lyrics to Girls on Top are very inspirational and uplifting. Over all the album is good but I do wish they would of thrown in some ballads to show off BoA's amazing voice.
