That's what i was thinking too! This album would have been better off as a mixtape, do not want in either case.

Waited for the HQ. Listening now... Up to R.I.P. and it's kind of messy so far. No real identity.
I LOVE her vocals and personality and image, but I'm not sold on the album as a whole yet. I like RIP and How We Do and Hot Right Now as individual songs, but as an album, I'm not convinced. Let me see once I get to the second half of the album, which I haven't heard yet...

First Listen Review
Facermelt Too bad it isn't a full song, it is amazing, love everything about it 9/10
Roc The Life Even though available before, still a great track, but live version is still better 8/10
How We Do Laidback party track, always nice to listen to, great single 7/10
R.I.P I just have a weakness for this kind of tracks, I love the vibe, the chorus is catchy8.5/10
Radioactive What a track, hopefully a future single, this could deliver some amazing remixes aswell 9/10
Shine Ya Light Love this track since I heard it live, studio version doesn't dissapoints, great anthemic track 8.5/10
Love and War Nice track, but J Cole is okay, he doesn’t really adds a thing, he is just there 6.5/10
Uneasy I LOVE the beginning, great track, the rappish parts are great, pretty awesome, hopefully we see the video one day 7.5/10
Fall In Love The track is basically a mess, it probably will become a quilty pleasure in the end, but it goes every way possible. Rita's parts are cool, but will's parts are autotuned to death. I still have a weakness for that chorus, idk it's too catchy 6/10
Been Lying Pretty cool track, great lyrics, those rappish verses are cool 7/10
Hello, Hi, Goodbye Awesome track, love the instrumental 8/10
Hot Right Now Love it since I heard it, still an awesome track, happy it got included 9/10
Crazy Girl Should have been on the main album instead of Fall In Love imo, pretty cool track, the instrumental is cool 7.5/10'
Young, Single & Sexy Cool track, love the guitar and stuff, would be awesome for an acoustic set. 7/10
Meet Ya yeah I have mixed feelings about this one, it could have potential if only got more of a production instead of being acoustic, hopefully it will grow 6.5/10
Overall Great debut, loads of people bash her, but imo. she delivered, it's a debut for God sakes, it may be not the most cohensive record ever, but who cares, it includes great tracks, and with the right singles she will come far imo. A debut is to built on and she can def. built on "Ora" to become more succesfull. 7.5-8/10

this!
and Rita herself said that every song on the album sounds different because she doesn't want to be defined by genres

People are just never satisfied, if she would have made a cohensive record, people would bash her for being too samey, now she makes a record with all kinds of tracks and people say she has no identity etc.

Yet, a lot of other popular singers do the same. And now Rita get bashed for doing it.
SMH.

uhm, debuts can be amazing as well you know ^ lol, just because its a debut doesnt mean it cant be the best thing ever done, usually debuts are the best ones, but I didnt even say a word about the album
my first impression is she really lacks identity. not because there are many styles, but because she really lacks identity, you can have as many genres you want in the album but if you can carry it identity can be heard. I think her whole idea 'im gonna do everything so everyone like me' is cute, but naive. people's gonna love her for personality and style (image wise), I like her a lot cause of it too, but I hope she's gonna built her own sound, cause her voice is really forgetable.
and yes, not one track is 5/5, most of them are 3/3 for me, others... well... 0/5
im gonna be here for her tho, she seems interesting (so far, personality wise) and will see what she can do

Ofcourse debuts can be the best work of an artist for people.
Some people, so I am not talking about you, just don't even give her a chance. That just makes me frustrated time to time. I get that not everybody has to like the album, I get others have an other opinion, just don't like to see that some people write her off that fast

Rest in peace.
But let me tell you this, YOU AREN'T MISSING ANYTHING. This album is pure boredom.
There are only a few songs that I like. But I honestly didn't expect anything special anyway.
