Listen to Your Heart
Listen to Your Heart the album balances dance numbers and ballads, covers and original songs, and happy and sad about as well as any light-as-a-feather pop act can. While they may be light, D.H.T. put such an elegant and slick sheen on their music it's forgivable for anyone who doesn't fit the definition of "jaded," plus their oddball choice of covers turns this seemingly shallow act into something more interesting. Their chamber music take on Paul Davis' soft rock favorite "I Go Crazy" is warm and tasteful while their camp-free version of Janis Ian's "At Seventeen" works much better than it should. How they found "I Can't Be Your Friend" -- a modest hit by country act Rushlow -- is a head-scratcher, but that they turn Sniff 'n' the Tears' "Driver's Seat" into a ponderous ballad instead of the floor-filling anthem they're obviously capable of is puzzling and the most misguided moment on the album. Exciting and fun original songs like the vacation getaway "Sun" make up for it, along with the neat, clean, perfect production and singer Edmee's exceptional voice.
