4.0 out of 5 stars Blowin' Up in Style, July 14, 2005

I was suprised, but this CD was all I was hoping for and more. I must admit, it took me a few listens to get hip to a few songs, but it was worth it. Every track is unique, as is every member of the group.

Gabrielle- A beautiful, pop inspired voice
Ron- The rapper, who brings the hip-hop appeal
Eddie B.- Nice funky style and voice
Valure- Soulful and sensual in style and in song
Josh- Great sax player and has a nice R&B flava
Marya- She makes the cello the coolest instrument and her latino vibe only spices up to group.

Together, these six voice form the group known as Fatty Koo. House of Fatty Koo is only a taste of the styles they have. The Cd has latin, soul, r and b, pop, rock, raggae, techno, and old school. All they are missing is a little bit of country. LOL.

The CD has a great song selection. The song, "Chills", is a beautiful ballad that is sure to move you in one form or another. "Bounce", a great first single where all the members shine and "boogey". Other great tracks include "Tight" a club jam which feature Valure speaking of a night on the town with a LOT of her girls. "Drive Myself Crazy" is a Gabrielle led ballad with an late 90's pop appeal. "Like that Girl" has the fellas on hand with an almost, Jackson 5 styled up-tempo piece. Another interesting song is "Move On", which is an argument between Gab and Valure played out in song.

My absolute favorite song, however, is "Juke Joint" which also features all the members. It speaks of a guy trying to approach this girl. The most interesting part is the suprise of Marya and a new spicy beat in the middle of a laid back song. It's nice.

The album is wondeful and has something for everyone. My only complaint would be that the HOFK interlude should've been at the beggining. Some people don't like it, but it only makes the group more unique and diverse.

My Advice...purchase House of Fatty Koo.

I really didn't know what to expect with a name like Fatty Koo but I watched the show one night when nothing else was on tv and I was pleasantly suprised. They were working on the song "Chills" and I completely fell in love with it. I also saw the video for bounce and said to myself, if it is on sale, I'll buy it. I found it at Best Buy for $7.99 so I went ahead and bought it. It was a lot better than I expected. There were a lot of upbeat songs which is refreshing. Here is my take on the cd.

1. Shake 3.5/5
2. Bounce 4/5
3. Fatty Koo 3/5
4. Chills 5
5. Like that Girl 4/5
6. Lust 4/5
7. Princess in Disguise 4/5
8. H.O.F.K. 3/5
9. Cruise Control 5/5
10. G'on Girl 3.5/5
11. Tight 4/5
12. Juke Joint 4/5
13. Move on 5/5
14. Drive Myself Crazy 5/5
15. Bounce 3.5/5

All in all, nice cd.

The only reason I bought this cd was because it was on sale for 7.99. I didn't expect it to be any good. I've never been more wrong about anything in my life. I like every song on here. If you don't have it, go get it. Their sound is original and can't be compared to anyone else.
