Pretty Ricky - Cookie Cutter
Producer: Music Royale Productions
Album: Bluestars II
Label: Blue Star/Big Cat/Tommy Boy
Truth be told, the deck’s pretty stacked against Pretty Ricky. From the ‘50s to the boy band explosion of the ‘90s to the modern hip-hop/r&b game, examples of groups that became famous as teens and then went on to adult success are few and far between (especially when original members like Pleasure P leave). But that won’t stop this quartet - Baby Blue, Slick’Em, Spectacular Smith & Lingerie - of smooth crooners from trying. Although the title of their new single Cookie Cutter refers to a girl who breaks the mold, it could also apply to the track’s sound, as Music Royale Productions crafts an appropriately sweet, quasi-retro beat for the pretty boys to sing over, and they happily oblige with sugary harmonies sprinkled with vocal flourishes. Like one of those Ms. Fields’ cookies you get at the mall, the result is delicious, but not exactly enough to satisfy those truly hungry for substantive R&B. Pretty Ricky continues their quest for longevity on their upcoming album Bluestars II, which currently has no release date.

The DJBooth is a "no fronting" zone as far as I am concerned. Lets be real here, shall we?
Would I rock out to this record on my iPod or in the car? Not a chance. However, there is a very good chance that this uber-catchy chorus will find the ears of many younger female listeners, which will in-turn prompt them to buy the single.

It's not that bad. It was pretty catchy actually. Some parts I didn't like though.

The pop sound caught me totally off guard. Don't know if that audience will accept it though since Pretty Ricky has spent years on the Urban side.

This is the type of record that won't do so well with our readers, but has potential with mainstream America.

Pretty Ricky had to see the irony of naming such a formulaic track Cookie Cutter, right?

Not that great. Not too horrible to listen to once, but do not really care to listen to anymore.
