Mixerr Album Reviews #756

This is Michael Mixerr. This evening I will review C-Note - Different Kind Of Love.

Many people who are music fans will think of this album released by another douchey Latino R&B group which is trying to jump onto the boy band wagon in an attempt to sell out in the pop market. The album Different Kind Of Love is obviously the case here. Latino R&B group C-Note has been marketed and packed by their record company, Epic, as another boy band. A Latino boy band at that. However, C-Note is a unique boy band that had a bilingual approach. Think similar to Nu Flavor. C-Note had the exact same bilingual approach as Nu Flavor did. Which has surely added a mix to the market. The Latin factor can't be underestimated. Different Kind Of Love is filled with intimate affectionate romantic love songs of course since this is an album that came from the Pop genre. These romantic love songs are filled with the moods of affection and fondness of love.

The album Different Kind Of Love has a wide variety of cover songs such as I Like by Guy which features a well-crafted sample of KC & the Sunshine Band's That's The Way (I Like It), One Night With You by Diane Warren among others, and Wait Till I Get Home. Unlike many boy bands from the era of boy band mania, C-Note did many cover songs for their debut album while appealing to many naive teenage girls.

No Dejo De Pensar is the Spanish version of "Wait Till I Get Home" which can be heard in English at the very beginning of the album.

I Like is a Guy cover song that covers a song called I Like. A well-crafted sample of KC & the Sunshine Band's That's The Way (I Like It) is included on the tribute to the well comforting cover song by Guy called I Like from 1989. C-Note incorporated the elements of Funk, Rock, and Pop on the track I Like.

While the album Different Kind Of Love may have stood out from being a lot different for being bilingual and having sung cover songs by other artists, C-Note was another douchey Latino R&B group which had tried to jump onto the boy band wagon in a lame attempt to become sellouts. They were trying to ride on the coattails of success from NSYNC or O-Town. One reason why C-Note didn’t take off is because there was another by the name of C-Note from the Botany Boyz from H-Town (Houston, Texas for those who don’t know) who gained regional success from the visceral confrontational single “Diamonds In Yo Face”. No wonder things didn’t shuttle off as planned. Everyone kept confusing the Latino boy band C-Note as the Houston rapper C-Note.

I rate this album, Different Kind Of Love, 3/5***.
