Amazon.co.uk Review
City High's two-guys-and-a-girl combination will strike inevitable comparisons to their predecessors in the hip-hop neo-soulster sweepstakes, namely Digable Planets and The Fugees. But their perimeters have been adjusted to fit the post-millennial tension that urban radio is currently experiencing. Bypassing all sorts of obvious "conscious" hipsterisms, the trio's music strikes a fine balance between self-realisation and street-level realness. The fact that they chose to address such basic concerns as low income single motherhood (on "What Would You Do") and the perils of creeping with jailbait ("15 Will Get You 20") immediately sets them apart from both the Missy Elliotts and the Lucy Pearls of the world. Stylistically, the record is surprisingly heavy on the smoothed-out R&B tip, and singer Claudette Ortiz is unquestionably more Destiny's Child than L-Boogie. But the production, handled by Executive Producer Wyclef Jean, DJ Clark Kent and others, subverts the classic quiet storm formula and serves as an interesting counterpoint to the group's capable vocals. City High is a keeper. --Rebecca Levine

Customer Reviews

Buy This, Buy This!
While the concept of a trio with one female vocalist isn't new (Lucy Pearl springs to mind) the subject matters in this album are dripping in fresh youthful honesty, and the tunes behind the lyrics are straight outta the streets in summertime. Are they singing from experience? It sounds like it.

This is a must have for all R&B fans, and truly a 5/5

They're gunna be around for some time!!
After hearing the now already classic hit 'what would u do' i just had to buy this album and i definately wasn't dissapointed. For anyone out there that is thinging of purchasing this then do!

The CD is definetly a hidden gem of this Summer. 16 cool tracks of true r&b with soul for all. A must have for those that love their music with words, beats and meaning. Go buy it Now and see if you recognize a face and voice from 'Sister Act 2' in the group!!!
