Review

With Shine, fans awaiting a new Meredith Brooks CD are in for a letdown, but not because the music isn't great. The trouble here is that Shine is really Bad Bad One, Brooks' 2002 release, reshuffled--song for song everything is the same, only the new title track takes prominence courtesy of what's called the "Dr. Phil Remix" tacked to the end. Essentially, Brooks and her new label are retrying the Bad Bad material, hedging their bets that the affable TV host, who liked "Shine" enough to play it on his show, will help resurrect it. Could turn out they're onto something: Back in "Bitch" form after a hiatus to explore genres including hip-hop, Brooks rocks this all-around likable disc in her deliberately off-kilter way. "Crazy" is yet another tag she doesn't much mind wearing, as she proves in time to her own cranking guitars, and "High" issues a surprising sliver of disco done right. A couple of companion tracks in the middle, "Pleasure" and "Pain," pull listeners back to the '70s for a pleasant march down melody lane. --Tammy La Gorce
