So Real is the debut album of pop singer Mandy Moore through 550 Music. It was released in 1999 when Moore was fifteen years old. The album was certified platinum in the United States. The album sold more than 3 million copies worldwide according to the "A Walk to Remember" DVD. In the United States, it has sold 1.5 million copies.[1] The album spawned a Top 40 hit with Candy and went platinum within three months in the RIAA,[2] such success was trivial compared to the overwhelming popularity of teen pop's biggest stars.[3]
[edit] ReceptionReviews among music critics were generally mixed. Said William Ruhlmann of All Music Guide, "fifteen-year-old Mandy Moore's debut album sounded like it was inspired almost entirely by listening to recent hit albums by 'N Sync, the Backstreet Boys, and Britney Spears," citing stylistic similarities between album tracks "So Real" and "Let Me Be the One" to the Backstreet Boys' "Backstreet's Back," and saying that Moore's "occasional growls" were similar to Spears' "...Baby One More Time." Ruhlmann stated that Moore could "carry a tune," but "with no particular distinction," saying that aside from her singing, the music was "mediocre."[4] [edit] Track listing
