Album Notes Compilation producers: Kevin Mangini, Jeff Moskow.Pop is the name of the game on MTV's TOTAL REQUEST LIVE, where young music fans clamor for the sounds of their favorite stars. This collection of songs played on the enormously popular/populist show is, needless to say, heavy on the teen-pop. You'll find no howling vocals or screeching guitars here (sorry, Korn), no explicit lyrics or hardcore hip-hop (maybe next time, Eminem). Instead, THE BEST OF TRL POP offers track after track of lush harmonies, elegantly orchestrated melodies, and sweet voices both male and female, all singing about the glory of love, or the lack thereof. From the carefully constructed group-harmony sounds of O-Town and NSYCN to the romantic Latin pop of Enrique Iglesias and the girl-next-door sunniness of Mandy Moore, this is a bright, colorful confection made for mass consumption. |
