Blu - You won't be with this album

"This is a really good album, even if you don't know Italian.



WARNING: This album has copy protection. You can listen to it on a CD player, on a PC with the included software player ONLY, but if you have a Mac, an iPod, an MP3 Player, or a PDA, you're out of luck.



As to the album, it's a mix of pop, dance music, and smooth jazz. And you will find a 'Blu' theme pop up in a number of the tracks. Here's a couple of exceptional tracks:



'Blu' is a real peppy tune that sounds like early Madonna (not a bad thing). They know it, since they include the lyric "I'll take you there". Listen to it at work and don't be surprised if you start doing a little dance step.



'Senza Confine' reminds one of Sade. It's smooth and smokey. If you want to set a romantic mood with your special someone, include this track. A number of other tracks have the same sort of 'feel', but not as romantic. I'd love to put this one on my pocket PC!



'Aqua' is a nice easy intrumental where the voice is just another instrument. I wish it ran longer.



'Diana'. Every CD seems to have one weak track and this is it. It's ruined by overlaying a male voice rap track. Maybe they thought they needed it for rap or hip-hop appeal (they didn't). Skip this track.



This album is a nice mix of dance tunes and ones you just listen to and only realise later your shoulders are gently moving with the song.



If you can stand the copy protection restrictions then go hit the 'Add to Shopping Cart' button NOW. Then let SonyMusic know what you think of the copy protection.



If you buy Blu, you will be anything but blue. Get it.
