| | Brooke Valentine : Chain Letter - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | On her debut album, Brooke Valentine falls prey to a forgivable affliction for a 19-year-old: She can’t figure out who she wants to be. |
 | | To her credit, Valentine actually co-writes her songs, and she dishes out plenty of poppy, big-beat party music. |
 | | Here, it’s more important for Valentine to shine vocally, but with her narrow range, she’s relegated to the genre’s talented but faceless crowd. |
