EG: Alannis Morrisette. And also, rarely, someone manages to do something interesting with R&B (En Vogue comes to mind, though they were never all that heavy to the genre). Hopefully, Cilmi's future heads off in one of those directions. Every now and again, somebody breaks through the R&B mold (mould?) and does something with their career. EG: Alannis Morrisette.

Why does that not surprise me. Record companies are forever pushing young singers in that direction because they know that's where the market is (case in point: Nellie Furtado). The next step is to have her appear in raunchy pics, with a muscular rapper wrapped around her, and all the bling in the world. *yawn* R&B used to mean something back in the 60s; now all it means is, "gary turns the dial" R&B?

I listened to some cuts from it. She's gone R&B. <sigh> Not a genre of music I generally care for...and one I don't think will tax her voice (or her soul) so much as this debut album. Ahhh, well. There's always the third try. <grin> Her new album is coming out next month. I listened to some cuts from it. She’s gone R&B.

I agree, she's defo more than a teen star whose star will burn bright, fuelled by tabloid press, and then die. She has an interesting voice, too. I'll keep an ear out...one to track I’ve heard of Gabriella but until you started posting her songs have never listened to her stuff, am listening now with headphones on.

I didn't say there was no music worthy of positive reviews. What I did say was I don't follow many, at least to the point that I could give any sort of review. I can't give an opinion on something I know little about. : ) … a correction is due before they send a lynch mob out for me (in these parts, people don’t take kindly to others rubbishing their local music).
