I imagine this sort of music being played at a Cuban restaurant - De Camio a La Vereda was my favourite song of the album but that means fuck all really. Didn't understand a word of the Spanish lyrics and the vibes were relatively chill, good background music but don't think I'd listen to it out of choice ever again (unless I was asked to put some music on in a Cuban restaurant). Although, they may have been singing about something NSFW so in that case perhaps not.. Because I'm extra and I can't help but judge a book on its cover I'm gonna throw in an extra rating for the album cover: 5/10

It would feel weird to review this album without mentioning Le Freak and I Want Your Love, which are obviously solid, and the first being a classic boogie song. It takes a lot for a song without lyrics to give me the feels and sadly Savoir Faire did not do such a thing. Overall, it was OKish, not my kind of music if I'm honest, didn't give me the feels and was a bit samey. On the album cover, I enjoy the logic of putting each song title on the front, nice and organised and as an organised woman I can appreciate that. However, it's not pleasing aesthetically to me, especially the font, it makes me upset. In fact, there's 3 different fonts on this album and that stresses me out. The photo is kind of cool I guess, I don't see why the woman's on the floor rather than sat on the sofa but I'll get over it. Also, the red, blue and white colours are not a vibe. Ok, I'm done now. 3/10 on the album cover.

I Should Coco
Supergrass
Lord, I wasn't ready for this at 08:45 on a Friday morning. The first song almost gave me a heart attack I had it up so loud. With this type of music, it sounds like the same fella has universally sung all of them as the voice always sounds the same. The song 'Alright' seems very out of place in this album, when it came on I had to check it was still playing the right one. If only the other songs had that vibe. The song titles probably entertained me more than the songs themselves, She's So Loose is an excellent example of that. The final song, Time To Go, I just found a bit strange and a cringey end to the album. Now, the album cover I'm not a huge fan of, its not a great painting if I'm honest, looks like something for a Year 10 art project. And because of the font, I read the title as 'I should GoGo' rather than CoCo which isn't ideal. 5/10 for the album cover.

'When you raise your pencil skirt, like a veil before my eyes' fucking love that lyric. Common People is obviously an absolute jam, big fan of that song so was awesome to listen to on a Monday morning, Disco 2000 comes second to that. Really didn't like the song I Spy. F.E.E.L.I.N.G.C.A.L.L.E.D.L.O.V.E is a sensual song, tense af. Now, the album cover, I'm not sure how I feel about it, I love a wedding so that's plus points I guess but the white border on the background is not a vibe and is quite dated (i mean it is for 1995 so I'll let it slide). 6/10

This album was very underwhelming for me and it was very much on in the background. Couldn't pin point anything exciting to say about it nor could I criticise it, very meh. Reflecting this feeling is the album cover itself, it's just not speaking to me and I can't put my finger on why. It's all just MEH. 5/10 for the cover.
