Ashley Parker Angel wants to forget O-Town

shley Parker Angel, "Soundtrack to Your Life" (Blackground/Universal) Ashley Parker Angel wants to be seen as a serious artist with his solo debut album, "Soundtrack to Your Life." This may be a hard feat considering he rose to fame with the cheesy boy band O-Town from the reality show "Making the Band," then tried to resurrect his career with another reality show, "There & Back: Ashley Parker Angel." Angel's "Soundtrack to Your Life" is a 12-track, rock-infused disc. On his first single, "Let U Go," Angel sings about lost love on an uptempo, pop-rock tune. While it's catchy, there is nothing unique about it that separates Angel from other male pop singers. The same goes for the title track "Soundtrack to Your Life," the theme song for his recent MTV reality show, and that might be where it fits best - as a likable television theme. Angel co-wrote all of the songs. Even though he teamed-up with heavyweight producers Max Martin and The Matrix, most of the songs have similar sound - synthesized rock beats - and simple writing. On "Along the Way" Angel sings the banal lines, "Along the way, that's where I am supposed to be, along the way, in the spaces in between." [GFH]
