⚫ What can I say about this album is I think its not genuine as compared to her albums but her newfound persona this era is very quite well fitting! Another remarkable distinction of this album for me is that I really prefer all of her ballads in this one as compared to her uptempos! Well the lead single is a bit of midtempo! And besides her collaboration with Britney, the rest are quite forgettable! Ballad Cyrus is where she shines best imo to conclude!

⚫ Perfect fusion of drum and bass, dubstep, and EDM! If you wanna blast something off with music! This is the perfect album to listen with full volume! While the songs don't offer something new, innovative, the tracks served their purpose as they are very suitable for late night club music as well! The songs personally left me found myself tired though after it finishes because the music leaves as where you have pick it up! So meaning, you have to be in the mood to party over!

⚫ Oh, what a perfect debut single! The mix of country with some pop rock feel is definitely perfect combination for Cassadee! The song was immediately a like at first listen. The song has that cliche chorus, but I admit the song is perfect for what it is! I can feel through her voice the pain and emotion that is pouring out of the words of the lyrics! Overall, one of the best debut singles of the year for me!

REBECCA FERGUSON - "I Hope"
"...I hope life treats you good, I hope life treats you good..I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope.."
WEEKS ON CHART: 5 weeks PEAK POSITION: #01 (1 week)
⚫ Rebecca's BEST single so far yet! Upon hearing it initially, I admit I was not very impressed! But then, I took another listen, and the song magically has that catchiness and repetition that gives you much enough replay value! Sonically, it is reminiscent of Emeli's "Next to Me" and Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" especially with the drumming intro! This song is for my haters by the way and the ones who have hurt me! Well not really but with its message, Imma use this song not for revenge but just a mere reminder.

⚫ I dunno, generally Chris is hated. But this single of him, I really instantly clicked and fell in love with! Aside from his vocals, its probably the production! Very well executed and has that "wall of sound" feel with the instruments. Having the simile / metaphor of the lyrics comparable to a fine china is just like but then I don't mind at all! Since this song is just a bop! Loved Chris delivered this even though it didn't made much impact
2009: P!nk - "Funhouse" 2011: Nicole Scherzinger - "Try With Me" 2012: Keyshia Cole - "Enough of No Love" (feat. Lil' Wayne)
Yeah Rebecca is definitely similar to Emeli and Adele, that's what I liked about her when I heard NRBL last year. And Fine China is one of Chris's best! It's on my latest set too.
