I really got excited when this CD was released and loved the single "SEXUAL".I was so excited. I was expecting it to be better than her first.'ABOVE THE CLOUDS" was an ok song." LOVE ONE ANOTHER" was pretty good and had a nice message.after the second song things get a little messy.The third song " SPIRITUAL VIRGINITY" is a silly pop song that lacks in every way imaginable."OBJECT OF YOUR DESIRE" follows with another song that sounds too soft for the same woman who sings the next song "SEXUAL". An exciting turn that doesnt last long. Song after song is slow, boring and unenjoyable. Track 9 finally picks up the pace a little with it's somewhat catchy "Don't wanna stop"." IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND" a track that is the only second highlight of the album. Not suprising, the track that follows is a boring silly pop song. "IM FREE" has a good message that I enjoyed hearing,but Amber could have done it better. Only worth buying for 2 tracks.

I don't understand why someone will expect an pure essential dance album to have pretty deep lyrics. That's not a parameter of judgement for an album like "AMBER" that truthfully achieves what it offers, a party stomper muzik with lyrcis related mostly to loved and everything surrounding the matter. The highlights in this album are evidence of not average production cos S.....LI DA DI it's one of the most original and enchanting dancing track to come from years. ABOVE THE CLOUDS it's not as haunting, but it's uplifiting, IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND is a pretty mainstream POP DANCE track that is a superb collaboration by those days TOP CLUB DIVAS Ultra Nate, Jocelyn Enriquez and of course Miss Amber....VIRGINTY is a odd number but still works. After all this is an album that has good track, some fillers, but it's good enough to keep you tune and difficult to skip tracks, it's a great done CLUB album.

I don't understand how anyone could give this CD more than 1 star. It is absolutely the worst CD I have ever bought. Remember When "Li Da Li" came out? That's when I bought it and that's when I banished this CD from my collection. I found it again and I re-listened to it this morning. It is STILL bad, so bad that I just had to turned off the CD player.

What I did not like:
1. Melody is weak, it's not catch at all. Except for "Li Da Li" and "If you can read my mind" (a cover song, by the way) I could not remember a singly melody by the time next track played.
2. Same music, different variation. Same instruments were used in all tracks, it reminds you of Kareoke machines...
3. REALLY BAD LYRICS. So many forgettable lyrics such as "Love can make it happen...", "How do I tell you that birds do not fly...that the world is not round", "Everybody hurts, everybody dies, everybody..." I honestly think that a middle schooler can write better...
4. Not a talented singer. She has a nice voice I'll grant you that, but she's not doing much with it. There's no emotion, there's no feeling, it's very "flat". You would never be convinced that she is sad, happy, excited, tormented, but she's very convincing conveying the feeling of "blah".

I really suggest that you listen to the sample musics before committing yourself to this purchase.

I once was a big fan of hi-nrg music. The music was catchy and fun to crank up to. I still love dance music today but I am a bigger fan of The Crystal Method, BT, Moby, Basement Jaxx, George Acosta, and Sandra Collins. That sort of dance music interests me more than the infectious hi-nrg melodies of Eiffel 65, Aqua, and Amber. I still enjoy Amber's music but I have rather outgrown her music. My favorite Amber cd is her second self-titled album. As good as her first album was, I thought "Amber" was better. I love the catchy hooks of "Love One Another", "Without You", and "If You Could Read My Mind". My biggest problem with the cd is the silly lyrics. I'm sorry but dance music and spirituality goes together as much as oil and water. "Spiritual Virginity" was a bit too much for me lyrically. I thought the lyrics were the silliest lyrics I had ever heard (next to Captain and Tennille's "Muskrat Love"). Same with "Sexual (Li Da Di)" but at least this song was catchy and had a good beat, unlike the latter. I do think Amber had the best intentions with some of the songs but in the end, spirituality in dance music turned out to be unintentionally funny, if not corny. The ballads were ok but I preferred the uptempo songs in the long run. "Amber" isn't perfect but it's a good pop-dance album.

Amber is a girl from Germany who is pretty unsuccessful over here. But advertisements
tell us all the time that she is doing well in the US dance charts .
Her known song "Sexual" is included and so is the duet "If I coul read your
mind" (from Studio 45) with Ultra Nate and Jocely Enriquez . This is Amber's second album. It's on ZYX Music in Germany,
which is already telling: it's straight and simple dance, not very sizzling,
but not bad work either. For me, it's too boring. In the end, it has a good
production quality, and some lyrics are even quite meaningful ("Love one
another"). It's an ok album, but that's basically it. Nothing spectacular
