CORPORATE LINE: A healthy dose of sass and a pinch of allure, SPG are five diverse 15- and 16-year-old young women who seamlessly blend together to form a musical group — The Slumber Party Girls – Dance Revolution, the group’s Geffen Records debut.
Dance Revolution crosses all cultural boundaries with nods to hip-hop, R&B, rock, salsa, reggae, and, of course, irresistibly danceable pop – all with a positive message for America’s youth set to a soundtrack of beats bound for boomin’ systems everywhere.
Along with Dance Revolution, SPG also showcase their diverse talents on KOL’s Secret Slumber Party on CBS, a collaboration between DIC, AOL’s KOL kids site and CBS. In addition to hosting the block, SPG is the house band for the highly-anticipated dance competition series, “Dance Revolution!,” which was inspired by the hit video game franchise from Konami.
SPG is the fruition if an exhaustive search across the U.S. – finding impressive talent with uplifting attitudes and burgeoning cuteness who can sing, dance, and act is no easy task – and SPG’s five unique personalities reflect a diverse marriage culled from Los Angeles to Long Island. Co-producer and Chairman, Geffen Records, & President, A&M/Interscope Records Ron Fair, known for discovering such impressive songstresses like Christina Aguilera, and Stefanie Ridel (ex-Wild Orchid), seized the opportunity to work and grow with these five young ladies currently taking the entertainment world by storm. SPG’s distinct mix of musical landscapes and dance-pop sensibility is the result of the following multi-ethnic slumber party.
THE GOOD:
“Countdown” – This is going to remind pop fans, who are a little older, of The Spice Girls if they were ten years younger.
THE AVERAGE:
“Good Times” – The melody isn’t bad—but pop singers’ rapping is always a bad choice. No teenage girl should ever be allowed to rap.
THE BAD:
“The Texting Song” – A song that features five girls spelling isn’t even cool in a cheerleader kind of way.
“Bubblegum” – “You’re the one that will be choking on my bubblegum.” That’s an interesting way to talk about kissing. It’s sweet, cute, and impossibly bad.
“My Life” – Plenty of pop singers tried to rock before and it didn’t work for any of them either.
FRANKLY: There have been dozens and dozens of pop artists that have come along and most of them just disappear. After listening to The Slumber Party Girls album, Dance Revolution, there is no way to convince me they won’t suffer the same fate. There is nothing unique or interesting or good to say. Maybe if your eight-years-old you might enjoy this but its impossible for me to think like a pre-teen.
