{"product_id":"be-a-girl-1","title":"Be a Girl","description":"Personnel: Nille Perned (guitar, programming); Bjön Malmquist (violin).\u003cbr\u003eAudio Mixer: Nille Perned.\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: MNW Studio, Vaxholm; Music-A-Matic Studio, Gothenburg.\u003cbr\u003ePhotographer: Steve Double.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the album that rocketed the Wannadies to stardom internationally. Thanks to start-stop dynamics of the romantic power-pop single \"You and Me Song,\" the band managed to find success on both sides of the Atlantic; in the U.K. the song hit the charts at the height of the Brit-pop movement and in the U.S. (where this album was never released) the song was featured in a prominent scene of the movie Romeo and Juliet. The magic of this album doesn't stop there, though. In fact, \"Be a Girl\" is a tour de force that lasts throughout the album's entire 11 tracks. Beside \"You and Me Song,\" there's \"Might Be Stars,\" another huge U.K. hit that is, without a doubt, one of the best songs ever written about being a rock star. Other highlights include the pure-pop mania of \"Love in June\" and \"New World Record,\" a punchy, loud, arena-ready stomper. The guitars are noticeably louder on this disc, and the pace barely relents before \"Kid,\" a gut-wrenching power-ballad, sends the listener away wanting another 11 tracks. This is classic Brit-pop from beginning to end -- a life-affirming album that reminds us why rock \u0026amp; roll is so great. (The Japanese version of this album contains a bonus track titled \"Oh Oh Let's Go,\" which is a fine addition to the disc, but the cost is somewhat prohibitive). ~ Jason Damas","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51231505023263,"sku":"743213254623","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/b1a22086f07dd0c39a48346831cd5a6a_59d60485-2b75-4f22-b02b-a9af52828a34.jpg?v=1777961751","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/be-a-girl-1","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
