This was the last single that Billie released from her 2nd album titled the same, Walk Of Life. Get this cuz it's a great song and too bad her popularity's going down at a fast rate.

Virgin Records realized what a hit they had on their hands with their teen pop sensation, Billie Piper. Each of her seven singles (released between 1998 and 2000) had at least two separate versions, each featuring different bonus materials. "Walk of Life" (CD1) is one example. The Whirlwind Mix is perhaps the best remix of Piper's final single, and the video--featuring a group of bohemian teenagers on a bus trip through rural Scotland--is nicely shot, a surprising contrast to the sexy dance routines of Piper's other videos. "Caress the Gold" is an interesting hybrid, a love ballad set to a dance beat, with an effective, breathy voice-over at the end. Also included on the compilation "Best of Billie" CD, this track comes across as somewhat unimpressive on the first go-round, but quickly grows on the listener after multiple spins.

The single itself is perhaps Piper's best, and the closest she came to writing one of her own tunes (it's co-written with Wendy Page, one of her main collaborators)--most of Piper's contributions to her songs were fairly minimal. It's a shame this was the least commercially successful of Piper's singles, as it was easily one of her more mature and thoughtful outings. It's too bad that the pressures of being a commercial product prevented Piper from evolving into a more well-rounded singer/ songwriter.

1.0 out of 5 stars Utter Garbage. the worst I've ever heard!, March 31, 2001

"paradise_found" (Musicland, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Walk of Life (Audio CD)

I picked this CD up because my friends all said how great she was. Well, it just goes to show you Karl Marx was completely right, "the masses are @$$es." This is the most awful, dull CD I've heard - even worse than ATC's "Planet Pop" and the Spice Girls' "Forever" put together, in fact, it rather resembles that. Perhaps it just takes a special taste to enjoy this, or maybe my friends are more cultured and superior in intellect, but if you ask me, music should be FUN, not boring. If you can stand one song on this CD, maybe you should see a doctor. This is the worst CD on the planet.
