Chasez's subtle and sexed-up vocals are coupled with lyrics that are guaranteed
to react with listeners. The song wears well with repeat plays; by the the
third time around, the chorus is fully lodged in the brain. |

A combination of sleazy funk, edgy pop and JC's sexual fantasies make
up both tracks, which follow on nicely from his recent Basement Jaxx
collaboration. |

CD Times
Lead song on this CD, Some Girls (Dance With Women) blunts ODB's rap
with a radio edit but flip-side Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love) is much better,
despite JC's dribble of a vocal. |

There's nothing wrong with this at all - a spiky, modern, R&B thing from
his forthcoming spiky, modern "Schizophrenic" album. |

This is a funky, fresh r'n'b monster that'll have Timberlake sending for
the Neptunes before you can say, "Justified!". Exquisite stuff.

He may not have as much smooth appeal as his old band mate but he does have
an energetic edge and some catchy hooks that will ensure this debut single
becomes an MTV hit. |

Indie London
Some Girls (Dance With Women) sounds a great deal sleazier than Timberlake's
efforts, and a little more grown up to boot, thanks to its headstrong mix
of funky r'n'b flavas, and smooth vocals. |

This is slinkily danceable, with JC's voice the equivalent of an ice
cube being playfully stroked over a naked chest on a sticky summer's day.

Muso's Guide and Magazine
With smooth unmistakably urban beats smothered in a dense blanket of
pop melody and harmony, JC is the end product, the pinnacle of this 'pretty
white boys hanging with the Neptunes' type pop. |

"Some Girls (Dance With Women)" [is] another uncategorizable rhythmic
adventure. His multitracked voice wraps around a seductive conga-drum beat,
and then Dirt McGirt (a k a Ol' Dirty Bastard) shows up out of nowhere, bellowing
about a "sexual whirlwind." Mr. Chasez's solo album is due out in January;
here's hoping it's more of the same. |

Newsday
The first single,
"Some Girls (Dance With Women)," is another forward-thinking floor-filler
like the stellar "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" from earlier this year.
With Chasez cooing over a complicated, vaguely Eastern-sounding rhythm pattern
and slick synths, "Some Girls" should be a surefire winner. |

Some Girls has more of an urban bounce than Justin's material, incorporating
a quasi-ragga beat...Consisting of drums and marching band instruments, [Blowin'
Me Up] makes for a refreshingly unusual sounding track. |

JC and his writers seem to enjoy playing with the ambiguity of him being
"bi, bi, bi" with lines like "so many beautiful young people" and "just look
at everyone as equal" craftily left gender non-specific. Genius. |

It's a smooth roller with some very rough edges and it's picking up, props
all. |

'Some Girls' may be a little too forward thinking in the R&B stakes for
daytime radio fodder but 'Blowin' Me Up' is total class. |

JC...delivers this simmering tune with sexy lyrics scattered over laid-back
beats. It's an up-tempo hip-hop single that you'll be singing along to and
a sure-fire club hit. |

One word to describe the track is 'edgy' - it's like nothing out there at
the moment, and after one listen, it'll be in your head for the rest of the
day. |
