First Call for Global Success

First Call for Global Success is a 2006 album by Kuboian television personality Ericka Streets, released on 13th August 2006 under Polydor Records. The album did surprisingly well, topping the album charts in both Kuboia and Jetania for several weeks, and was the best-selling album in 2006 in the former.

Background
Streets originally released an album based off covers heard on several Pop and Don't Stop episodes back in 2004, however, Streets stated in several interviews that she wanted to release a mainstream pop album.

Streets worked on the album for over three years, starting around September 2003. Nearly every song on the album was written by Streets, and most of the songs were produced by independent, little-known producers. The album suffered a low budget due to Streets keeping it a secret from the public (not even Rodrick Miles knew about the album until early 2006), and due to Streets’ career as a television personality, the project moved on slowly. Over 35 songs were written for the album, but less than half got onto the final version.

Critical reception
First Call for Global Success was met with mixed to negative reviews. The album’s unfocused structure, and the songs’ lyrics and production were criticised by fans and critics alike, although several critics praised the variety in the album.

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album has an average score of 34.
