''A Girl Like Me'' is the debut solo album by English recording artist Emma Bunton, released in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2001 by Virgin Records. The album debuted and peaked at number four on the UK Albums Chart, with 21,500 copies sold in its first week. Although initial success was promising, ''A Girl Like Me'' fell down the chart quickly. However, singles "What I Am", "What Took You So Long?", "Take My Breath Away" and "We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight" helped the album stay on the UK Albums Chart for several weeks. On 7 September 2001, ''A Girl Like Me'' was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry for shipments in excess of 100,000 copies.〔 ==Critical reception== 〕 | rev2 = CHARTattack | rev2Score = (2.5/5) | rev3 = ''Hot Press'' | rev3Score = unfavourable | rev4 = ''NME'' | rev4Score = (6/10) }} ''A Girl Like Me'' received mixed reviews from music critics. Stewart Mason of AllMusic felt that Emma's singing voice lacked depth but that it worked well with the well-crafted and addicting pop songs, concluding that "''A Girl Like Me'' isn't an album for the ages, but it's better than 'not bad.'"〔 Timothy Park of ''NME'' said that there were great tracks and Emma performs them adequately but felt the album lacked ambition or honesty, concluding that "''A Girl Like Me'', like Emma, is very sweet but, like Emma also, it has no balls."〔 Erik Missio of ''CHARTattack'' said he saw promise in the album but felt disappointed by its attempts to resemble the Spice Girls' sound.〔 Stephen Robinson of ''Hot Press'' criticized the tracks for being overly sweet and borrowing from other genres but being unoriginal with them, calling it "another album to chuck aboard the pop blandwagon."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Girl Like Me (Emma Bunton album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
