Thoughts

Lovely, sweet Emma Bunton doing what she does best here - being lovely and sweet. These are some nice pop songs (the cover of Sunshine on a Rainy Day is a bit of an oddity but we’ll go with it) and What Took You So Long stands out pretty well. I missed the Tin Tin Out remix of the final track too. The problem is it’s all just too saccharine, too sweet, very little emotion comes through. It’s, dare I say it, only one or two steps removed from cruise ship singing. But I still love Ems so it was never a disappointment.
