REVIEW
Fans of Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera who want meatier lyrics with a bigger focus on spirituality-as opposed to the ever-exposed midriff-will be pleased with Stacie Orrico's debut Genuine. Even at 14, Orrico has a mature sound. Some tunes are lightly peppered with an occasional Mariah Carey whistle voice while others have a Janet Jackson edge similar to Rhythm Nation. Producers Tedd T., Mark Heimermann and Michael-Anthony (Mooki) Taylor should be commended for their attention to detail as almost every song offers something interesting not only because of Orrico's vocals, but also because of the tapestry of sound sewing them in. Michael W. Smith even makes a notable production appearance on the moving piano ballad "Dear Friend."

There is only one weak moment on the album: "Holdin' On" is lyrically vague and musically drab when compared to the excellent quality of the rest of the CD. And, although a few of the 13 tracks are especially timely for teenagers-like "Everything," which focuses on praying for a future spouse and saving oneself for marriage-much of the project offers spiritual food for thought for all listeners, regardless of age. For example, "Don't Look at Me" couples groovy rhythms and solid lyrics encouraging people to look to Christ as a role model. With I Corinthians 13 as Orrico's springboard, "Without Love" is a soulful, insightful window into Paul's sermon on love.

Listeners who give Genuine a shot will eagerly anticipate Stacie Orrico outlasting teen-pop's season in the spotlight. -- Rhonda Owens (c) 2000 CCM Communications, Inc. --
