3.0 out of 5 stars A nice teen pop-soul record, May 30, 2002

I like this album a lot. As another customer said, it's very representative of the 80s sound. It wasn't quite the failure that many historians make it out to be. "Young Love" made the top 10 on the R&B chart, and "Say You Do" made the top thirty. Not too bad for a 16-year-old girl. It's got a lot of significance in that she worked with some of the best producers of the time. Rene and Angela ("My First Love," "I'll Be Good") produced the first half of the record, including the above-mentioned tracks. Their trademark sound is very very strong on those tracks. She also worked with producers from the Solar Records camp, the people responsible for the success of groups like Shalamar and the Whispers. So there's quite a bit here to savor, and it's a good picture of her start as an artist.

80's!! Okay, who doesn't love the 80's? Well, I know there are a lot of people who don't love it, but at least there is a nice CD for those of us who do. This is a very fun album, with a very young Miss Jan.; her age (around 16!) does show, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, it just means the songs are more "bubble gum" as someone else has said. There are some great songs on the CD, but you have to have the CD to give them a chance. Most people will enjoy this CD, as long as you like one of the many "things" listed above. There are a few other reviews that go more in-depth on each track -- I just wanted to give an overall opinion -- if you still can't decide, I suggest referencing the reviews, or just buy it, since Janet's the best :-)
