I can't ****ing wait. Lungs was such a brilliant masterpiece that my worst fear was that she wouldn't be able to live up to the expectations she set so high with this. There's been way too many cases of talented artists who put out epic debut albums and then fail to deliver on subsequent works. You know, the dreaded sophomore slump. Fortunately, this isn't looking to be a possibility for her. I really hope she slays on all fronts. She is so immensely talented. I've been reading reviews of her recent concerts, and it seems that a lot of people agree. I'm really proud of her. And here's to hoping that the new album comes out this year, because I don't think I'm patient enough to wait until 2012!
Initially when Lungs was released, I hated it. I thought she was so weird and depressing. But after my sister recommending the album to me, I decided I'd give her a chance. So I got the album for Christmas and I thought it was alright. However, with repeated listens, I started to warm to it. Now I love it!
It was great, she performed the entire album, sans Kiss With A Fist and Girl With One Eye, along with her two new songs. I saw her on Good Morning America as well.
