Coming from a very talented artist, this album containing 16 tracks is worth every peso you spend on it. Sarah Geronimo delivers a good package with her full voice. Unlike other singers who perform exaggerated calisthenics and overly strain their vocal chords, Sarah is a pleasure to listen to. With this CD, she brings in more flavor from her earlier albums. She is no longer the tweetums girl. She is getting funkier and more sophisticated, evident from her latest tracks.
The only minor thing I found less appealing was the lyrics booklet front cover attire. It seemed like all the outfits were thrown together, just for the sake of wearing it. Perhaps too much layering was done for that look. Overall, the CD was nicely designed. It is simple and projects the album title itself, "Just Me."
With Christian de Walden behind the making of this album, he brings together Sarah G. with Howie Dorough of worldwide phenomenon, the Backstreet Boys. This gives us a very fine taste from both amazing talents. "I’ll Be There" is a lively, sweet duet. It is an excellent choice as carrier track. The lyrics may be cheesy, but that is what brings out the cuteness factor in the song. It has a catchy beat. This is my fave because it reminds me of a Britney Spears’ song from one of her earlier albums. I am a Britney fan. With this analogy, it leaves no doubt then that Sarah is indeed the Philippines’ Pop Star Princess.
"Dahil Minahal Mo Ako" is the next single. It has an engaging melody and good rhyming. You can hear soothing messages from "Where Only Angels Fly" and "One Little Kiss." This comes from the well-done instrumentation on the said tracks and cool vocal delivery of Sarah. "You’re The Love Of My Life" and "Sweet Memories" give a glimpse to the maturity in her, both vocally and her growth.
This album offers quite a good number of songs. "Silence," "Just Me," "Played," and "Movie Love" are the funky tunes. There is a wide range of contributing renowned composers. Unlike others who only keep on doing cover songs, this one is innovative. "Just Me" from Sarah Geronimo offers fresh, new tracks to your delight.
"Sweet Sixteen" album garners the platinum mark (30,000 copies sold) in one month after being released.Sarah Geronimo met Christian de Walden in Los Angeles during her "Night of the Champions" concert there. Christian co-produced the "Becoming " album along with Carlo Nasi. De Walden, who is one of the top producers in Europe and North and South America, came to the Philippines for the recording sessions.
