This has an early-’90s pop sensibility, like Kirsty MacColl’s Walking Down Madison, Juliana Hatfield’s Hey Babe or old Sixpence None the Richer. I really like this a lot. “Charming Sexy” packs a power-pop punch, cliche as it sounds. “Superhero” is a bit overproduced but still great to listen to. In addition, the chorus has the same melody as “All 4 Love” by Color Me Badd.
“Please!” reminds me of a less-pretentious Pipettes. Maybe this is because there’s just Eva, and she has no need to compete with two others for attention. All I know is that I have a sudden urge to don a jean jacket.
“Life Still Goes On” is a ballad and makes me glad I am not still in junior high school. Having to dance to “Angel” by Aerosmith was bad enough. “The Spell” is one of the best tracks on the album, musically. It’s nice sometimes to hear some female-led pop music with no edge. Just because you want to rock doesn’t mean you have to kick ass and take names, too. That said, the lyrics are so corporate that it detracts from the song. “Move forward” does not belong in a pop song, period.
