A good listen Feb 16, 2008
You either love her or you hate her! I personally enjoy her music. I think this second album is much better compared to her first album. Her vocals are decent and the sound is really crisp. She has some great love ballads and the album is 100% great to drive to. Not anyone can stand Amerie, so be warned, her voice can get kinda annoying at times.

 Please, forget the marketing strategies! Dec 06, 2007
I can't count how many times, in my rather long R&B listener experience, i've seen female singers penalized by the lack of intensity and originality of the music wrote for them. Obviously, these are the results of some curious marketing strategies, which states that an "anonymous" musical style isn't too risky to compromise the disk selling...above all, when it's associated to a good look and a promising voice.
Unfortunately, Amerie's solo albums can be usually included into this huge roster of "defused" disks. Aside the catchy (but a bit noisy) single, it's difficult to find into this disk a single tune blessed by a glimpse of originality. An album like this it's like some industrial ice-creams. They've a seductive package, but five minutes after that you've eated them no taste remains into your mouth...and you're still hungry.
I wish to specify that i'm not an hater. Absolutely. I'm expressing this opinion because i think that Amerie can have a very good potential, how performer, if only she could be supported by an adequate musical production. She seems to be even a down-to-Earth artist, so i hope that sooner or later she will be able to express her capacities to the fullest...leaving behind her shoulders the current and limitative status of good "background singer". Marketing can be an interesting human science...but i'm afraid that to be a musical fan doesn't mean automatically to be a deaf person.
 Can't Go Wrong With Her Aug 27, 2007
This is the second time that I bought this CD. The first one got scratched, and I love the CD so much that I bought it again. It's very rare to come across someone in the entertainment business who has not only talent but also a college degree, and for that I am a fan. Her first album consisted of songs with a slow tempo (about 80%), and this album is a great combination of fast and slow tempo songs. This is an excellent buy for anyone!!
Smart and Sexy!! Jul 17, 2007
One cannot deny that Amerie is a talented singer. She has one of the most beautiful voices that I have ever heard. Touch was the first album i purchased by Amerie. And it was one of the best albums I have ever bought in my life. There are so many club hits on this album. Each track has the potential to be a hit in some genre. Her voice soars to beautiful heights on this album. The only song i do not like is her duet with R&B songster Carl Thomas, entitled Can We Go. But this song does not take away from the album's sheer amazingness. This album shows a more mature Amerie from her debut effort. One of my favorite songs ever is on this album. The song Just Like Me is my favorite track on the album and I think is one of Amerie's best recordings. Overall, this album is a club banging hit that should be more recognized more than it currently is. This propelled Amerie into the A-List in the musical world. Everyone should listen to this album sometime in their life. A true classic in it's own respect.
AMERIE IS BACK Jun 06, 2007
The sophomore jinx is something that never crossed Amerie mind with this album. I love Touch just as much as I love All I Have. 1 Thing was just a start and a great 1st single for a great album. This album is hot and well rounded because it's up beat but laid back as well. I put this album on repeat constantly because it just that good. This album is top five and I think you will love it also. Do yourself a favor and go get this album, you won't regret it.
MY TOP FIVE
1. Just Like Me
2. Talkin' About
3. Falling
4. All I Need
5. Not the Only One
