Eye Candy

As described happy with purchase

I love misteeq

Bought for strawberrez but my dad loves it

As expected

Following on from the success of their debut, Lickin' On Both Sides, Sabrina, Alesha and Su-Elise a.k.a Mis-teeq have returned with Eye Candy, an absolute scorcher. Mis-teeq made their fortune as the Queens of Garage, and now they've progressed to bring UK R'n'B to a new level - and they're just as good as the Americans! My Song isn't the best opening to the album. It's not too good, but Scandalous comes straight after this heap of mediocrity, so it sounds even better than usual! The number two single is a slick slice of r'n'b, the video's great, Alesha's emceeing is great - the song is great! The next two songs - Can't Get It Back and Dance Your Cares Away are much the same. Fast-flowing r'n'b dance, and the girls show they've kept their old attitude on Can't Get It Back especially. Plus, there's a section on Dance Your Cares Away where you'll find the coolest music ever - it's like some sort of techno pop, and it rules! You'll see what I mean. All In One Day and Strawberrez are a bit dull to be quite honest. They are overly sugary - the girls did these kinda songs great on Lickin' (see These Days), but hear, they're pants. Nitro is the follow up to this where the girls are aiming to silence their critics. It will (hopefully) be a future single. The beats are spiky, you can dance to it, and it's the perfect blend of Alesha's emceeing and Sabs and Su's singing. Home Tonight (featuring Joe) follows. A slow song, but it's OK. Just OK. Do Me Like That - not the most memorable song on the album, I don't like it too much. A bit boring. That's Just Not Me (featuring Baby Cham) is the next song, and quite possibly the best on the album. It's a song best saved for sunny days, it has a reggae tinge to it, and the girls' vocals are as smooth as silk. Fantastic. How Does It Feel is possibly the most garage-influenced song on the track, and is reminiscent of former single B With Me. It's about a guy who's a bit of a player, and the girls are setting him straight. It's a great song. Best Friends and It's Beginning To Feel Like Love suffer are OK. Best Friends is one I listen to from time to time, but nowhere near as infectious as That's Just Not Me or Nitro by any means. It's Beginning To Feel Like Love is too sugary again, and suffers from the same things as Strawberrez - dullness. Two of the best tracks wind up the album. Eye Candy is absolutely amazing. The beginning background music is awesome, and Alesha goes into proper Lil' Kim rap mode! She sounds fantastic, and the chorus is totally awesome. You'll be singin' it in no time! The last song. Now, each girl does a verse in this song - Just For You - which is accompanied by a fab chorus and hypnotising music. Alesha is great, Sabrina's emceeing is surprisingly good, but it is Su-Elise who will blow you away. She has an extraordinarily deep emceeing voice, and if you've ever doubted her, she's gonna shock a few people! More Su-Elise, please! Overall, the great songs on this album are fantastic, but the not-so-great ones won't make your eardrums bleed. They're just not as good as the other songs. Eye Candy is a brilliant sophomore album, and the girls'll carry on for years to come - lets face it, the UK urban scene needs people like them! Roll on the next single, and well done girls! Oh, and buy it!

Mis-teeq. A group synonymous with the Garage scene, highlighted by their winning numerous awards for best garage act in the last 18 months. But they're not. The garage beat has been restrained for the second album, but not at the expense of hi-energy tunes, 'Nitro', and 'Eye Candy' attest to that. It's just that, as with a lot of urban acts at the mo, they have ditched two-step for a more commercial, R&B sound. Lisa Maffia's new single is in the same vein, standing on an equal footing with the best the US has to offer, beats and harmonies alike.The album is filled with amazing tunes, club bangers with HEAVY beats as well as ballads that put more established groups to shame with their originality and cohesiveness. The eastern flow of 'Just For You,' the sultry sound of 'Can't Get It Back', amazing Miami base sound from NOWHERE on 'Day Off,' to the simply gorgeous mellow tones of '...To Feel Like Love' show they were SO much more than a garage cash-in that single 'Why' might have suggested in 2001. THEN, their uniqueness is definitely provided by the ferocious chats of Alisha, keeping the underground feel alive on the dancehall-lite 'Do Me Like That,' catapaulting this album and Mis-teeq alike to diva status. They have carved out their own sound in a very competitive market, doing it good and proving they're much more than just eye candy.Tunes - Nitro Can't Get It Back That's Just Not Me Beginning To Feel Like Love Just For You

Prepare to be amazed as you go on mis-teeqs rollercoaster album. A different track with a different vibe for a different mood. Its for everyone. Mis-teeq really are 3 powerful, sexy, sassy ladeeyz with attitude!

This album will remind a listener of lickin' on both sides, but with a modernised feel. The first three tracks, My Song, Scandalous and Can't get It Back are fantastic, and set the mood for the rest of the album. This tails off slighly in Dance Your Cares Away and All In One Day, both fairly forgettable, if pleasant ballads. Thankfully Strawberrez, Nitro, Home Tonight and Do Me Like That are all srong tunes that draw the listener back into the groove. That's Just Not Me has a great beat that makes this song one of the best on the album. The remaining foue songs are standard Mis-teeq songs, and round off the album nicely. Overall? You wont regret the purchase, and it is a good step forward from Lickin' On Both Sides , that all fans should buy.
