A great album by a chronically underrated singer. I really do believe that Victoria is the best vocalist of the Spice Girls; she just doesn't seem it because her voice is so bland. The two singles, "Not Such an Innocent Girl" and "A Mind of Its Own," are amazing, as is "Like That." Some of the other songs (especially "Every Part of Me" and "Watcha Talkin' Bout") are obviously filler, but there's enough good material here to make this a worthwhile addition to any pop fan's collection. 4/5.

WOW! I'M IMPRESSED!!

"This was actually quite a good album, not that I doubted Victoria's abilities, but I hadn't gotten to hear enough of her before to make any accurate pre-judgements. It's too bad it wasn't released here in the U.S, but considering the un-popularity of the Spice Girls over here, I don't know if it would necessarily do that well.
This album, as I said, is great, and is more pop-with-an-R&B-edge than Mel B's which was just straight R&B (also recommended.)
Though this album does have a relatively similar sound for all the songs, it is a catchy feel-good sound that will always have you singing along. (I'm down with the vocodor!)
These are the tracks that, to me, stand out the most:
1/ I'm Not Such An Innocent Girl: Which of course is the snappy debut single which is just chock full of adittude and has sort of a flowing, breezy disco sound to it.
2/ Girlfriend: just a fun, likeable, danceable song that you're guarenteed to enjoy, like at a club or something.
3/ I.O.U: a very sweet ballad for her husband. But before you gag at the word ballad, let me tell you, she makes the R&B ballad something creative to enjoy, as opposed to all that "slow-jam" nonsense, that makes you either want to hide under the couch, smash the radio, or fall asleep whenever you hear it, and makes it, well, what can I say; good.
4/ Midnight Fantasy: Very much like her work with the Spice Girls, only this has a bit more of HER flavour. It's hard to explain. Very good.
5/ I Wish: Great twist on R&B, with some real funky adittude!!
GIRL POWER!
6/ Whatcha Talkin' Bout: Another cool song with a lot of adittude, and a bit more of an interestingly subtle groove, whatever you want to make of that statement.
7/ And finally "Every Part Of Me": An endlessly sweet and tear inducing ballad dedicated to her son, Brooklyn and even includes some of his cute vocalizations! If you aren't moved by this one...I don't know?!
Though all of the songs on this album are great and fit in in their own way, and show great adittude, I wanted to pick some of the big standouts to give you an idea of the real treat you're in store for if you buy this album.
So please do. You surely won't be disappointed.
RECOMENDED!!
(or did I say that already?)"
This Album Has A Mind of It's Own!!!

"Victoria Beckham is the last of the Spice Girls to release her solo album offering several multi-genre tracks. After being the voice that no one ever heard in the worlds best selling group, Victoria finally unleashes an album that is superb, showing that she has probably one of the best voices out of all of the members from the Spice Girls. It's a sad lose that Virgin Records dropped her before letting her music reach the US. With this album, Victoria offers great ballads and an abundant load of great danceable, R&B influenced pop songs. Track Highlights1.) Not Such An Innocent Girl - The beat to this song sounds like it came out of the Destiny's Child vault of beats, but yet it still has it own original sound. This song is dance friendly with its beat and sexual lyrics. This was the first single from Victoria's album and the video for is fantastic.2.) A Mind Of Its Own - The lyrics to this power ballad are a bit generic and mediocre. However, this song is extremely catchy and the lyrics will grow on you. Victoria's vocals could have been a bit better but this is still a pretty fun track to listen to. This track was good enough to make the cut for Victoria's second single. 3.) That Kind Of Girl - This track is drenched with a mid-tempo R&B beat. This track is somewhat of a ballad but it's a bit faster. The lyrics could be better but they aren't too shabby. Victoria's voice sounds beautiful in this track, I guess she's just "That Kind Of Girl"4.) Like That - This is an up-tempo track featuring an R&B/Pop beat. This track sounds somewhat reminiscent of the Spice Girl's track "Holler", however, I think this track is more creative. Victoria's vocals have that transformed, robotic like sound when it comes to the chorus but when it's back to the rest of the song her vocals simply sound beautiful. 5.) Girlfriend - This song also features an R&B sound but I think it leans more to the sound of pop. This song is pretty up-tempo and fun to listen to being that it has a great chorus and sexy lyrics. Victoria's vocals are extremely aggressive and confident in this song.6.) Midnight Fantasy - This track is one of those ballads over a dance beat and with this song it simply works. Victoria's vocals make the lyrics of this song sound so sexual and surreal. 7.) I.O.U. - This song is a beautiful ballad and it's kept pretty simple. I think this is by far the best ballad on this album, not because it has a great beat or that she sounds great but because the lyrics are so true and beautiful. All that you do, Victoria owes it to you.8.) No Trix, No Games - This track is like that of track four, they sound somewhat similar and the meaning is somewhat the same. I think the chorus to this song could be just a bit more creative but it still sounds pretty good.9.) I Wish - This song was rumored to be the third single from Victoria's album before Virgin Record's dropped her. This song is definitely worthy of being a single and the chorus sounds so beautiful and catchy. The beat to the song is very Destiny's Child like and the lyrics even sound like them. Victoria's voice sounds fantastic and passionate in this track.10.) Watcha Talkin' Bout - This track has an R&B sound and the song is a bit mid-tempo. The lyrics to this song are pretty creative and the chorus is pretty catchy as well.

11.) Unconditional Love - This is yet another ballad and both the lyrics and beat sounds pretty generic. The only thing good about this track is that Victoria's voice sounds beautiful.12.) Every Part Of Me - This ballad has a baby giggling at the beginning of it giving away the fact of this song obviously being dedicated to her child. The lyrics to this track are pretty good but I think this track could have had more of a ballad sound to it.This album shows that Victoria hasn't forgotten her roots from the Spice Girls but yet she is moving forward with her talent. If you want to see Victoria on a different level other than that of the Spice Girls than I suggest you check this album out."
