The Cheetah Girls One World Soundtrack

What’s the Story?

Reviewed by Jacqueline Rupp

The Cheetah Girls have been part of tween pop culture for five years now -- long enough for a new generation of tweens to replace their original fans. It makes sense, then, that the singing and acting trio would want to mix things up a bit. For their third film and accompanying soundtrack, THE CHEETAH GIRLS ONE WORLD, the girls travel across the globe to India for an international experience. The unmistakable Bollywood sound finds its way onto this album mixed in with hip-hop dance numbers and light pop/R&B ballads.

Is It Any Good?

The Cheetah Girls make a roaring start on this album, moving quickly from one fast-paced song to the next. "Cheetah Love" is a fun, funky song about girlfriends, "Dig a Little Deeper" is sassy and groovy with an energizing message about motivation ("Try a little harder/move a little faster"), and "Dance Me If You Can" could be straight from a big production Bollywood dance scene. But then around the sixth track, things begin to slow down and become redundant with nondescript R&B rhythms and harmonic deliveries making it difficult to stay interested as the songs start to blend together. Disney should, however, get credit for introducing young kids to the Indian pop music sound -- even if a little more Bollywood would have been a welcomed inclusion.
