Admit It: This sounds quite funky and her voice really shines on it. This song is really amazing especially the chorus and the end what could easily be a dance-break in the video! This has single potential!
9/10
Victim: Production is HOT, Ryan has done an amazing job on this! Love the chorus but though it's not that catching as the album opener.
8.5/10
Outta Here: Great production and lovely song. The highlight of the song is the bridge! Though i would've never chose this as the lead single since there is so much better on the album.
8/10
Love Dealer: HOT HOT HOT! I love when Justin just raps a part instead of singing like a pussycat. So the Intro is well done by JT. This song is just HOTNESS and it suits Esmée's voice really well especially the chorus where she sings in falsetto! The bridge is also amazing, I love how JT sings the ad libs in the background it sounds really good [Not sounding a pussycat for once.]
9.5/10!
Gravity: The intro just gives me sooooo much goosebumps! The ad libs and the amazzzzzzing production are just like chocolate & cranberry, perfect combination! Everything bout this song is just flawless; Intro amazing! Vocals amazing! production amazing! BTW this song has also an amazing guitar instrumental at the end, I love how much elements this song has. This is such an obvious single choice, has to become the 3rd single!
10/10!
What If: Another amazing produced song and her vocals sound heavenly on it! I can see this becoming big in the charts too, I defenitely would pick this as a single.
9.5/10
Memories Turn To Dust: This is Esmée's personal favourite track. I love it but its not as good as the most on the album. This will probably become a single because of being Esmée's favorite, I hope not cause it would be a sin if she release this instead of the other tracks that are way too good to not get released because of this.
7.5/10
Gettin over You: IMMENSE production, AMAZING verses, AMAZING Chorus, AMAZING Bridge. The intro reminds me so much of DC3 early stuff and what R&B used to be around 2000-2001! This track is my personal Favourite! Has to become the 2nd single!
10/10!!!
Just Can't Have It: Obvious Stargate production, they will never step up their game. But nevertheless I love it! :lol:
8/10
The First Thing: Very old-school! This is what suits her the most. I love it, although it's just something that belongs on a album but not more than that cause it hasn't the potential to become a hit.
7.5/10
Casanova: Another song I REALLY like! This leaked some days before the album and I played it sooo much on my Zune. The production is great and Esmée does an "Uh Uh Oh" ad lib in the song and that's sounds so beautiful! Btw I really like JT's part in the chorus, it really gives it that extra sparkle and that's really a rare thing for me to say cause y'all know his voice isn't usually my cup of tea!
10/10!
Bigger Than The World: Production wise this is the most cathing song, the production is so HOT! I'm slowly becoming a timbo fan again. back to this track. I REALLY can't understand that some people prefer Jt's version over this.. esmée's version is a MILLION times better than Jt's pussycat version. Her voice just MAKES the song! It has really an amazing chorus! Has to become a single!
9.5/10!
Sad Symphony: I love this song and it doesn't deserve to be a bonus track, The First Night should've been a bonus track and this a normal album track!
8/10
_____________
This album is really AMAZING! It was worth all the waiting. This is my FAVE album from this year so far and it will be hard to exceed this album! What I noticed is that especially the productions on this album are off the hook! She may not be a powerhouse vocalist but she defenitely has the best vocal tone in the industry along with Brandy and Kelly Rowland. Her ad libs in the backgrounds are just heavenly and that's where brandy & Kelly are known for as well! BTW I think this album is more urban than pop actually, it has some old school songs on it but the most tracks just sound like the nowadays R&B. She doesn't belong over here at all especially since JT is in the R&B thread!
