| Contributing Editor Will Comerford reports: Take 5, the latest act from Orlando, Fla., pop machine Trans Continental Records, will release their domestic debut on Tuesday, while a box set from Motown legends the Supremes also will hit stores. Take 5 were formed under the guidance of Lou Pearlman, who launched Backstreet Boys and *NSync. Pearlman parted ways with both senior boy bands after much litigation. The first 25,000 copies of the Supremes box set will include a fifth CD, with 11 live songs. Take 5, who have already released an album in and toured Europe and Asia, enlisted top-notch talent for their domestic debut, Against All Odds. Production wizard Timbaland and rapper Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott lent a hand to several tracks, and Dianne Warren and Gerald Levert have songwriting credits. The quintet — none of whom is older than 19 — takes on more of an R&B flavor than their teen pop brethren, as evidenced by the album's first single, "Shake It Off" . Most of the LP's 14 songs, including "To Make You Love Me" and "Girl Next Door," deal with romantic themes. |
