Best known for 1998's No. 1, "I Wanna Fall in Love," Lila McCann is one of the standouts in Nashville's latest batch of country brat-packers. McCann possesses a sweet, exuberant, full-throated voice that's vaguely reminiscent of a de-twanged pubescent Reba McEntire. On Something in the Air, McCann's second album, she usually sounds more callow than convincing when she tries to tackle "grown-up" themes--and producer Mark Spiro's generic arrangements don't help much. But McCann shines when she stays within her emotional comfort zone on songs such as "Kiss Me," which deals with the fumbling anxiety of that very first teenage lip-lock, and "Crush," which takes a surprisingly clear-eyed look at the temporary insanity of adolescent infatuation. "I Will Be" is an especially lovely song that earnestly and movingly expresses the hopes and fears of growing up. Not to wish trouble on anyone, but when McCann gets a few more years' worth of hard knocks under her belt, she may well be unstoppable; then again, she may be already. --Bob Allen

5.0 out of 5 stars This Kid Is Good!, November 29, 1999

By	daniel (Sacramento, California) - See all my reviews

I am suprised by her range and vocal control. I have teenage daughters, and they said, Dad--listen to Lila McCann--I saw the video--loved it--bought the cd the next day. I am amazed at how good she is! I was blown away--to use a kid term. I love music of all types, and she is very, very--good! That's all.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different, but cool, August 4, 1999

By A Customer

This CD is a pretty darn good follow up to Lila's first one. The only thing I thought was kind of odd is that it seems her first CD has songs with more emotional depth and maturity on it. While her new one, made three years later, is overall more playful and innocent. This is not a bad thing...just an observation. I know that her objective was to make her second album more up tempo, which she did wonderfully I might add! I just found it interesting how hardly anyone ever has said she sang too old for her age range (while they just ripped on LeAnn!). Yet she sang several songs on her first CD as a 14-year-old that could be considered maybe too mature for that age. I'm not making any judgements myself -- I personally love both her CD's equally. It just seems it would have made more sense to have had some of the songs that were on her first album on her second and vice versa. Like Crush and Rhymes With would have been perfect for a young teen to sing, while Already Somebody's Lover and Almost Over You seem more fitting for a young adult such as Lila is now. Anyway -- not really a complaint, just a thought. Lila is still one of my favorite singers and she is awesome in concert! :)
