I can understand some dissapointment by people though. I mean the thing is that we get started in a 2nd album era after 7 long solo career years (ignoring DD era in this). Nicole is an incredible artist and entertainer, but she is standing on such thin ice, that she can't risk with her new label to make mistakes but also doesn't meet all expectations of fans since they actually expect her to show everything she is capable off.
The interview with that Australian source gives me good hope though that the album is diverse and has a bit of everything.
I am personally not dissapointed though, but I can see both sides in this.
