Product Description
From Amazon.com
Apologies to Clay and Ruben, but if anybody should have had American Idol 2 on lock it was Kimberley. Kimberley Locke, that is, whose debut cracks the combination to her creamsicle-smooth vocal chops and coughs up a few surprises. Most important--and most often missing from the recorded dabblings of her AI cohorts--is a sense of restraint. K-Lo, as fans call her, doesn't muck up her songs with check-me-out vocal trickery. She opts instead for straight-up, bells-and-whistles-free singing, and with a voice as honest and earthy as hers it pays. She nails R&B-slanted selections like "It's Alright" and "Without You," the all-the-makings-of-a-classic love song performed with Clay (Aiken, who, she reports in these liner notes, she now counts as a close friend). If there's a misstep, it's the production on rocker "Wrong," which is, entirely, an attempt to copy the funky gimmickry of Kelly Clarkson's post AI chart-topper "Miss Independence." That bummer aside, best about One Love is the promise it displays in the songwriting department: Locke claims co-writer credit on the back-to-basics R&B lament "You've Changed," this CD's strongest, most convincingly cool track. --Tammy La Gorce

Was expecting better,
By Helen (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Love (Audio CD)
Kim was my second favorite on the AI2 show right behind Clay Aiken. After listening to the whole album I can honestly say that I only like 2 songs, "8th world wonder" and "Without you". The only thing that made this cd worth the money is the "Without you" duet between Kim and Clay, this song is absolutely beautiful and their voices compliment each other. I hope Kim's next album is better. I will have to listen to it first before I purchase another.

Some really good songs, some not,
By Windar1949 (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: One Love (Audio CD)
"8th World Wonder" is good but a little gimmicky.Most of this album kind of corny. If it's meant to rally women to be strong, to be nicer, or to be better, it's missing the mark. Songs like that generally find their market in the 10-12 year old audience. I give lots of points for originality in "Over the Rainbow", "I Can't Make You Love Me", and "Come on Over". To me the best song on this CD is "Coulda Been". It's smooth, it's not forced, not gimmicked up, and it's just a cool song.

Carbon Copy Much?,

This review is from: One Love (Audio CD)
I am AMAZED no one has pointed out the fact that "Wrong" by Kimberley Locke sounds EXACTLY like "Miss Independent" by Kelly Clarkson, both vocally and on the production/arrangement level. While I admit the arrangements in "MI" weren't exactly the most original ever (what pop song truly is, though?), the fact is Kimberley should find her own style instead of trying to sound like a bad clone of Kelly Clarkson.
