""Crickets Sing For Anamaria" is the 4th Single released of the "Free Me" album, the second piece of pop perfection delivered by the brilliant Emma Bunton.
This Song is very different than the other tracks released from "Free Me". In this track, Emma explores Latin Rhythms (Brazilian Rhythms), using the Latin samba with hand-claps and fast paced lyrics that will make you wanna dance for sure.
Emma puts in this song a refreshing & exquisite sound that you will enjoy too.
If this is not enough for you, Emma includes in this Single (The 2 CD Set) the radio edit of the track, cover versions of Paul Anka's "Eso Beso" and Astrud Gilberto's "So Nice (Summer Samba)", the "Crickets Sing For Anamaria" "Elements' Crickets Dance On Tequila Booty Mix" & and a stunning slowed down "Maybe" Latin Version. Plus, you will get an Amazing sexy pic of Emma in the cover of both singles.
Buy It Now, It's One of the best singles of 2004, you won't regret it.
Thanks for reading this review. =)

"The title single is a fantastic song! A latin jazz number reminiscent of Sergio Mendes. The added bonus of a new version of "Maybe", beautifully slowed down to capture a different mood, makes this a must-have for all fans of Emma's full-length album "Free Me". Highly recommended for your listening pleasure."

"Emma Bunton has released one of the best pop albums of 2004. "Free Me" is a collection of 60's esque bossanova-swing tracks that have a cool martini lounge feel to them. The songs suit her voice perfectly and thank GOD there aren't any r&b-lite atrocities on this solo-spice album. Crickets is a fun track that is pure summer time buzz. You may forget it by Labour Day but you'll have a great time listening to it until then. Odd that she would release this as her third single and not the more radio-normal "Breath" or "Who the Hell are You?". The remixes are good so the CD would be a great purchase.
Now if only Victoria "Posh" Beckham would take a lead from her form Spice mate and stick to what these girls do best...POP!!!"
