Trouble - Natalia Kills
The Essential Tracks: Problem, Saturday Night, Devils Don't Fly, Rabbit Hole, Marlboro Lights
Natalia Kill's second album "Trouble" was one that I was anticipating heavily for 2013. However, I was a little disappointed with the piece overall. I absolutely loved Kill's debut "Perfectionist" which was a refreshingly dark electro-pop album with a lot of rock influence. On "Trouble", Natalia ventured further down the rock route, with loud guitar and drums used on most of the songs. I would have preferred her to go more down the electro path than the organic one that she chose, but most of the songs are great. "Marlboro Lights" is a ballad bordering on pageanty during the chorus, but the lyrics are absolutely amazing (most of the lyrics on the album are). "Rabbit Hole" sounds the most like Natalia's debut and is definitely the most electro production wise, but sadly it's one of a kind on "Trouble" and actually sticks out like a sore thumb. "Devils Don't Fly" is probably my favorite song off the album. "You know devils don't fly/so don't expect me not to fall" are some of my favorite lyrics from the album and the production is absolutely ace. The weaker songs on the album ("Boys Don't Cry", "Daddy's Girl", "Watching You") are alright, but they just fall flat when stacked up to the other songs which leads to some boring moments during a listen. One song in particular, "Controversy" has a sick instrumental, but has no melody at all and is just basically Natalia reading sentences over the exciting beat. While lyrically "Trouble" is one of the better pop albums released this year, I just couldn't rank it super high due to the rather uninteresting songs that are present here and there.

Tonight - Millionaires
The Essential Tracks: One in a Million, 21, "**** Me" Eyes, Get Away, Drinks On Me
Yassss my sisters. If you don't know the Millionaires, basically think if Ke$ha was 400x ****tier and you could split her in two then you would get these broads. Even though they came out before Ke$ha and I think they had some kind of beef with her or something idk. BUT, my gorls finally got to release their debut in 2013 and I couldn't NOT include it. Its my guilty pleasure album and I use down. "One in a Million" is a great pop song with a sort of island flavor and "**** Me Eyes" is a club BOP. Can these girls sing, you ask? Nope not really. Can the write, you ask? Well one of the lines of a song called "Dat Boi" is "I'm like what the hell/get me wet like Ariel" so you tell me. However I'm definitely not one of those people with an elitist look on music, if I think a song is good and I like it then hey, I like it. If you like ****-pop make sure you give this album a listen and just have fun with it because really that's what its good for. "Tonight" is an amazingly enjoyable album if you like unadulterated pop and I can't wait to see what they will come out with next.

Trouble.
OMG THE MILLIONAIRES ON SOMEONE ELSE'S RATE.
Tonight is amazing and I played the **** out of it when it was first released. I even bought a physical copy.
One In A Million is easily the best track on the record and could have been released as a legit single and slayed. 21 is another one of my favourites. Put It In The Air SLAYED me recently, such a jam. As you said, you really need to not have an elitist's idea of what good music is to enjoy this album.

Alive, Hold On..., Wrecking Ball I hated INYL at first, because like you said it's pretty boring, but the music video really helped the song.
Acapella is amazing too!
