Confident - 7 Good album opener, kind of generic but the live performances knock it up to a 9
Cool For The Summer - 10 - The piano, the rock feel, her vocals. I still ****ing love it
Old Ways - 10 - I remember when the snippet first came out I thought this was going to be trash. I RIHpent! My favorite track on the whole record, needs to be a single at some point
For You - 6 - I go back and fourth on this one. Sometime I LOVE it then I find it annoying as hell and clashy. I don't want this being a single at all I think its a prime example of why people find her vocals grating at times. Almost reminds me of Nothing But Horrid from DEMI only with redeemable qualities.
Stone Cold - 8 - I love it.
Kingdom Come - 3 - Reductive, Iggy Iggs wack verse takes it down from a 5
Waitin For Ya - 8 - Dope, I don't get the hate for Sirah I actually dig her verse
Wildfire - 9 - Pure
reminds me of Miguel's last album
Lionheart 9 - Beautiful
Yes- 9 - I LOVE this cause I'm a sucker for cheeky take me I love you type tracks, I have a whole Spotify playlist of em. I think it'd be perfect as a single Valentines day, spring, or next fall.
Father- 4 - I appreciate the honesty in the lyrics but the structure of the song is straight up generic garbage. Can't rock with it.
Stars- 3 - No. No. No. Sounds like a Ke$ha leftover.
Mr. Hughes - 7 - Its nice but I get why it only made the deluxe. She's done this sound better before (Behind Enemy Lines, Every Time You Lie).
I really wish she had put more thought into the tracklist because I think many of the complaints lobbied at the album are because the songs were generically thrown together instead of her actually sitting down and telling a story, which when you listen to the tracks in the right order their actually is one to be told.

Confident will most likely start stalling by December so they need to get as much juice as they can out of it before then. SNL was a different case because she had two slots. Trying to fit Stone Cold and Confident into the same performance would be a really awkward transition IMO (if they would do any type of melody I would want her to do a couple of lines from Old Ways then explode into Confident).
but right now the best thing to do is to push Confident...
Glad you guys have seen the light 
Stone Cold doesn't work for late winter/early spring. It should stay as a cute promo single.
