U MAKE ME BETTER - BO BICE
With “U Make Me Better,” Bo Bice moves a step closer to embracing his rock roots. Unlike his debut midtempo sleeper hit, “The Real Thing,” Bice’s vocals sound less processed and are graciously surrounded by catchy guitar riffs. But it still seems the Season 4 “American Idol” runner-up is off track in terms of showing what he’s really about. Although his Southern rock style won over “Idol” fans, gold debut album “The Real Thing” is a bit too much on the buttery popcorn side, albeit with an organic template. Let’s hope that he is able to endure this chapter with enough success to bring around the real goods on a sophomore set. Billboard
