LeAnn Rimes Album: “Whatever We Wanna”

Here comes a new album from LeAnn Rimes. Surprisingly, it is an import from Europe, not released in the USA. Still, listeners and fans on both sides of the Atlantic would certainly 'wanna' this CD as it would give plenty of joy and positive thrills. We know LeAnn Rimes to be a country star, who sometimes goes crossover, like on her "Twisted Angel" album (strangely shunned by critics), which was in the vast majority a pop thing. Then she returned to country with her previous "This Woman", which was to the vast majority a country thing. We know LeAnn Rimes to successfully go between the two styles, playing on both fields.

"Whatever We Wanna" is certainly on the pop field, with practically no country, although some tag it in this category. It again showcases LeAnn Rimes' strong vocal mastery and her songwriters' strong grip at what should be good music. The voice is always strong and good, and we all know that it handles both pop and country with equal power, vibrations and exquisite style. Personally I would single out "Headphones" and "Break Me Down", but all the others are equally great. The last track "Some People" is also on her other album ("This Woman"). You will hear the voice telling stories from a powerful woman in "Strong", who leaves us "Satisfied" not "For the First Time", "And It Feels Like" you get "A Little More Time" through your "Headphones" or stereo of "Whatever We Wanna".

Some of you may say that some of this material sounds like much of what is now playing on contemporary country charts. Some may note that this is quite a fresh look on the pop music as known in Europe. Some may even be wondering if this music can be classed at all. Some of you may find little notes connecting songs from this album to other albums of either LeAnn herself or other artists. Well, music is a big melting pot of today, and LeAnn Rimes surely knows her way of cooking some good sort of cake according to her own recipe.

This import is double the price I am regularly prepared to pay for a CD on Amazon, but it is worth every penny or cent, as you would return to it again and again. LeAnn Rimes did her best here to ensure that there are no doubts or frustration with even a single track. What you get is what you'd 'wanna' listen to today because it is amazing music from an amazing artist.

I think LeAnn outdid herself on this album. To this day this is her best album. I am a huge LeAnn fan and have had the opportunity to meet her twice so I have every album she has ever done. I even bought the one she said not to buy when Curb records released without her consent. I couldn't find anything wrong with that album. But this album tops them all.,

I have a feeling that the music on "Twisted Angel" and "Whatever we Wanna" is the type of music LeAnn would always be doing if she had the choice in the matter. America simply wont accept her as a pop artist so she has to cross an ocean to sing in this style. As a result, you have one amazing track after another. The best part about it is she wrote 10 out of the 15 songs. It really adds to an artist's authenticity when they write the material they're singing about. "Destructive" is a song she wrote about some of the darkest parts of her life. And it's a song like this that really lets us get to know who she is as a person. She's written some amazing lyrics on songs like "A Little More Time" and a sure hit pop song "Headphones." "Whatever We Wanna" is the type of song you love hearing on a Shania Twain album and "And It Feels Like" sounds like something Celine Dion would like to get her hands on. There's something for everybody here. Fans from Madonna to Kelly Clarkson can find material that will suit their interest. LeAnn is such a versatile artist that it's hard to pin her down to one particular style which makes her so interesting because you never know what to expect from her. It's really a shame that America wont have these songs on their radio stations.
