Ranging from dance-rap to sleek R&B/pop and acid jazz (which isn't really jazz -- it's dance music with jazz overtones), Get Serious sounds a lot like the type of club-oriented album that could have come out of England in the early '90s. But Cut 'N' Move wasn't British; the group was based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Like much of the pop that was recorded in neighboring Sweden, Get Serious contains nothing but English lyrics. The CD's most impressive track is the haunting "No Connection"; most of its other selections fall under the heading of likable, but not mindblowing. Opting for variety, Cut 'N' Move provides funky dance-rap tunes like "Say It Loud," "Cyclone Zone," and "Girl, You Got Me Working," along with decent R&B offerings such as "Message of Love" and "How to Allow It." Although not a huge seller in the U.S., Get Serious received some attention in European club circles. ~ Alex Henderson, Rovi Read Less
