Right Now 2004 / Someone Like Me, June 30, 2005
This review is from: Someone Like Me / Right Now 2004 2 (Audio CD)
The real selling feature of this single is the double A-Side "Someone Like Me". Originally included on the 2003 album "Ladies Night" and predominantly featuring the vocals of Liz McClarnon, 'Someone Like Me' is a tear-jerker. For the single, the vocals were distributed amongst the girls, with great results. The girls have repeated this technique a number of times in their career ('The Last Goodbye' and 'Cradle' also come to mind) with much success.
Even though "Someone Like Me" is a simple ballad backed with nothing more than a piano and lasting only two minutes - it's quite beautiful. "Someone Like Me" is hands down my favourite Atomic Kitten song.
"Right Now" the other A-side is a re-recording of the Kitten's first UK single (it was a #10 smash in 2000) that sounds much more mature than the original while remaining true to it's dance sound. The video for "Right Now" is also included on this maxi single. I was a little disappointed to find out that the video is a compilation of footage taken throughout the girls career and has no story or lip-synching.
The B-side is a track called "Wild" which was co-written by Kitten Jenny Frost. It's a mid tempo dance track that sounds as though it should have been included on the "Ladies Night" album. Overall this is a great single, and they couldn't have chosen a better way to promote their Greatest Hits CD as well as saying thank-you and goodbye to their fans.
