OKAY! LEM's official review.
The album's only downfall is that it's too short...especially coming off the heels of Dangerous Woman's 18 tracks.
The album is definitely Lauren's revenge, and she's the one who stood out most on almost every track. All the right songs have already been revealed as singles, so her team did right on that end. Could definitely see "I Lied" being the final single sometime in the Fall/Winter.
Maybe one more banger track would have been nice, since there's really just "That's My Girl"....I think that's where some of the initial disappointment came in since there's no actual dance track unlike Going Nowhere and Worth It from Reflection.
5H is definitely taking the Beyonce route though with these stripped down tracks, then they kill it with stage performances and live production elements to give it some UMPH. The album is alot more mellow than I was expecting, but that's not a bad thing...
