Hoku - Hoku

love it

I love this CD! I got it a few years ago but still listen to it all the time. Hoku's music is so upbeat and cheerful it always puts me in a good mood to listen to this CD. THe songs are really catchy in fact my BFF and I will sometimes just randomly break out in song with the Burrito Song :) November 8, 2008

Hoku - where are you?

This album came out in 2000, and I bought my copy in 2008, and I feel very lucky that I could still find one. My only question is - Hoku, where are you? How come you quit the music industry? It's never too late to make a come back. My only suggestion is that this album could use more fast paced songs. The most important thing is that her songs are not about sex, like so many other teen queens. June 3, 2008

GREAT, great singer/ songs!!!

This is one great cd performed by one great singer! They are fun to sing, dance, and just relax with. Hoku is one of those singers that can be very soft, like in "You First Believed," or very upbeat like "Another Dumb Blonde." Every song in here is clean (no curses), and once you know the words, its impossible not to sing along. I recommend this cd for people of all ages. GO HOKU!!!!

P.S. Just to inform everyone who is wondering...YES, HOKU IS COMING OUT WITH A NEW CD THIS YEAR! She is working very hard on it and the songs are definitely going to be worth the wait! Trust me.

Hope I helped!!

WONDERFUL, TALENTED GEOURGEOUS GIRL!!!

Her album demonstrates that young female singers DO have potential.

1. "Another Dumb Blonde" 5 Stars. This song is what started Hoku's career, it has an excellent beat to it and wonderful lyrics. Something that'll get inside your head!

2. "What You Need" A MILLION STARS! This is the best song on the album, everything about it is just wonderful! Words can't express how much I love it.

3. "How Do I Feel (The Burrito Song)" 4 Stars. Another great message song, her music video of this song rocks!

4. "Just Enough" 4 Stars. Love this song too, get's inside your head and makes you want to sing it over and over. It had a great touching message to it.

5. "Oxygen" 5 Stars. My 2nd favorite on the album, the chorus is so catchy and creative, makes you want to listen to it over and over. My sister loves this song aswell.

6. "Nothing in This World" 3 Stars. I honestly don't care too much for this song. It's okay the first time, but it's definetely not one that I would replay over and over as I do with the others.

7. "In The First Place" 4 Stars. It's really not bad. It has a cool tune to it, the message is impact aswell.

8. "Every Time I Speak" 5 Stars. LOVE THIS SONG TOO! My 3rd favorite, the chorus is the most cachiest chorus of them all, and the beat of it rocks!

9. "I'm Scared" 1 Star. By far the worst song on the album. Never bothered listenting to it again after I heard it the first time. I just wasn't impressed by it.

10. "We Will Follow the Sun" 4 Stars. Love this one too. I think this song is one of the best well-written ones on the album. Hoku's great voice is demonstrated in this song right here.

11. "You First Believed" 4 Stars. Excellent song and message. Hoku is so talented for writing this song by herself. She has a lot of potential, and she could do wonders with her singing career!

Overall, I'd say the CD is 8.5-9/10. It's a great CD to listen to when your in the mood for music! I say buy it! =) November 30, 2006

A guilty pleasure of the rarest form.

Poor Hoku, it's sad to see she hasn't released an album since 2000. The daughter of Hawaiian performer Don Ho, Hoku's debut album was defintely a guilty pleasure of radio-friendly pop songs. Although my musical taste have changed quite a bit since then, this album does have great tracks and those include: Oxygen, Just Enough, Nothing in this World, In the First Place, and Another Dumb Blonde. Not a perfect, deep album but pure saturated fun is what to expect from this "dumb blonde." June 29, 2006
