Thicke, Dion Rambo, Paul Anka. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Most boy bands have roots that go back no further than the boardroom in which they were assembled. Not so with Prymary Colorz; most of its members have known each other for years. But the group's debut album suggests that this isn't enough to overcome the challenges that stand between even gifted performers and complete artistic achievement in this style. The singing is soulful and solid throughout If You Only Knew, that much is clear. Though each member of the group is a forceful soloist, much of the most impressive stuff occurs in the background; check out the soaring and sophisticated backup on "That's Why God Made the Moon," on which the vocal parts constantly morph, with minimal repetition, or "Heavenly Love, another power ballad beefed up by genuinely amazing harmonies. The problem is with the genre, not the stars: Conventions are rigid, with instrumental, arrangement, rhythmic, and other options limited by the industry's notions of what stands the best chance of selling. Artists can excel, but only within these restrictions. Thus, for example, a number of these cuts race through big crescendos that end with all the instruments suddenly hitting the brakes and one or more of the singers intoning the final line a cappella. The first time someone did that, it was probably exciting and a little risky -- but this is far from the first time; listeners have learned to hear these finales coming from a mile away. This, of course, is the point, as long as listeners are more likely to shell out for music that never springs any surprises. By this measure, If You Only Knew is a resounding -- and dispiriting -- triumph. It packs plenty of talent but, like Gertrude Stein's Oakland, there isn't much there there. ~ Robert L.

If You Only Knew
$39.49 The 2002 enhanced Japan-only version features four additional tracks and two videos. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Fame can be a fleeting mistress, and nowhere more so than in the land of dance-pop divas. Many are lucky enough to have a hit album, much less two or three. What usually takes a one-hit wonder from the singles charts to career diva lies less in catchy hooks than in a combination of talent and the choice of collaborators. Obviously, the master of this technique is Madonna, whose talent and eye for talent in others has made her not only a worldwide pop sensation, but a worldwide icon. Arguably, running a close second is Kylie Minogue. Starting off as not much more than a female voice for the massively successful Stock, Aitken & Waterman hit factory, she moved on to work with some of the most ...

Audio Mixer: Max Vargas. Recording information: Bang'n Studio, Queens, NY; C Mo Greens, Queens, NY. In 1993, Large Pro famously advised listeners to "buy the album when I drop it." Unfortunately, the album in question, THE LP, was shelved by MCA and hungry rap fans were forced to wait another nine years for the legendary producer's official solo debut. Blending his trademark loop-heavy production work with charismatic, positive-themed lyrics, 1ST CLASS was well worth the wait. Extra P blazes rhymes over 16 hot tracks, running ...
