"I found this album to be honest and genuine. Many of the tracks display real budding talent and intellect that is not often seen in 9 and 11 year olds. Other tracks are silly, with screaming and giggling, and there are moments when Asya doesn't sing on-key or mumbles the sometimes-repetative lyrics. MTV material they are not. But one thing I can't call them is bad. For a pair of youngsters who accidentally fell into the music scene with zero formal training, this is a fantastic piece of work. No, the songs on this album won't be winning any awards, but compare them to your average teen/pre-teen pop singer, and Smoosh is a refreshing breeze. If you're looking for manufactured-sounding music, digitally enhanced vocals, and generic love songs, look elsewhere, because what you're going to get with "She Like Electric" is two girls having a lot of fun.
Since releasing this album, the girls have grown up a bit, and their musical skills have improved vastly. Catch them live, or find some footage of them live on Google video or YouTube. "Sucks"? "No talent"? I think not.
Great job, girls; eagerly awaiting your next album!"

"The pure innocence of this project is most appealing. In a day & age when provocative images and negative messages prevail in music, Smoosh are very refreshing. But never mind that, these girls ROCK! Highlights for me are "Pygmy Motorcycle," which demonstrates solid, sophisticated song writing, "Make it Through," a brilliant catchy single, and "The Quack," a playful creative cut that just makes you smile. The entire album shines, but I just decided to highlight a few personal favorites. Smoosh are extremely talented, fun, and passionate. The older you are, the further back they take you to a day when life was more simple and fun. The song writing is even better on the 2nd album, but this is an incredible debut. Good show, girls!"
