No Secrets

by No Secrets

Overview

The collective voices of No Secrets drift over the burbling beats and synth twitters of their eponymous teen pop debut. Opener "That's What Girls Do" is sassy and fun, while the girls' cover of Kim Wilde's "Kids in America" (previously released as part of the Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius soundtrack) is bubbly and bright and brash all at once -- just like the best summer days. But No Secrets have a hard time sustaining that energy over a full album, mostly because they waver between endorsing innocent fun and uplifting messages, and more lascivious adult themes that teen pop too often tries to reference. "Hot"'s heavy breathing, "Holla!"s, and "You feel me?" shout-outs -- not to mention its product-placement references to J-Lo and *N Sync -- put the quintet in the same world inhabited by platinum blonde boy-man Aaron Carter; in fact, it's a thematic cousin to Oh Aaron's "Stride [Jump on the Fizzy]," which the No Secrets girls guested on. ~ Johnny Loftus
