I really hope they don't try to ditch the urban sound entirely. I don't think Boss' performance was a good indication of how they would do with a proper Urban-Pop smash (due to the radio blacklist etc).
I wouldn't mind a healthy balance between Urban and Pop tho...
It's sad that they will change the album tbh. if antyhing they could have slimmed down the album, released it like planned and work towards a pop album for a mid/summer 2015 release.
