Notes/Reviews

The U.S. version of the Now That's What I Call Music series is often pegged as strictly kid stuff. There's no denying that many or most of the singles collected on volume 5 are beloved teen and preteen faves; even with a title cleanup, though, Mystikal's James Brown tribute "Shake It Fast" provides plenty of grownup kicks. As do Destiny's Child, Mya, and Kandi, whose delicious pop-R&B tracks trump the over-30 rock of Everclear's "Wonderful" and Bon Jovi's "It's My Life" for sheer radio wisdom. At the same time, the CD's reliance on cuts stamped from a small handful of templates suggests that a new mainstream revolution is just about due. Till then, the likes of "Don't Think I'm Not" and "Jumpin' Jumpin'" will do just fine. --Rickey Wright
