Music Review: "Cheetah Love" (CD single)
What Parents Should Know
Parents need to know that this Cheetah Girls song is a
positive anthem about friendship. It discusses loyalty, not
seeing eye-to-eye, and the strength that comes from close
friends. The song does repeat "we are Cheetah Girls" in the
context of promoting strong friendships, which can be seen as a
clever marketing ploy by Disney to encourage tween girls to
think of themselves as a Cheetah Girl -- and promote them even
more.
Families can talk about friendship. What makes a good friend?
Do you think you have to look or act like the Cheetah Girls to
have good friends? How are friendships, particularly female
friendships, portrayed in movies and TV shows you've recently
watched? How are your real-life friendships the same or
different?
With the new Cheetah Girls movie One World set to hit Disney Channel airwaves in late August, the accompanying soundtrack is building a buzz of its own. The first single, "Cheetah Love," is an upbeat dance track celebrating girlfriends and the Cheetah Girl clique.
Divalicious vocals and dance club beats mean this single definitely delivers plenty of feline attitude -- and a lot of fun. While the girls belt out vocals about their Cheetah love, it's easy to get caught up in their enthusiasm. With simple lyrics that are down to earth and relevant to girls of any age, this single should be a popular karaoke tune at slumber parties across the country.
