By request from my "fan", Audrey. *shout out*
Leslie Carter is the little sister of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, and older sister of *cringe* Aaron Carter. Here we have another of those Britney/*NSYNC-era teen-pop failure stories. This time molded by Dreamworks and as t(w)eenybopper as you can possibly get. I'd say her writers and producers tried too hard. Example: "Shy Guy" begins with the spoken line: "This is a story about a shy guy". Sound famiiar? "This is a story about a girl named 'Lucky' ". Plus coming from an already famous family, she had to be thought of as a sure shot.
Her 2001 debut single "Like, Wow!" received major airplay on Radio Disney and appeared on the Shrek soundtrack. Dreamworks didn't believe that she could compete with the already famous pop stars, however, so they scrapped her album. Leslie also scrapped her bubblegum sound for a more pop/rock one with her band The OtherHalf, whose debut album is expected this year.
"Be Mine" is a cover of a single by Wild Orchid, Fergie's old girl group.

Funny, I was entering a couple of her singles on Discogs last week and wondered what this album was like. And here you have it posted! Kismet?
Oh my, this is better than it has any right to be! It reminds me of one of my fave pop albums, S.O.A.P.'s debut. And here I thought she was just some trashy skank on the Carters' reality show! I like this better than Britney for sure...
I'm glad you like. :)
Any chance of getting a re-upload considering recent events? All the DL links are dead. And I would love to hear this.
