Beautiful Lies
Growing Pains - Feels very asian in the verses and rocky in the chorus. I would love to see a video treatment. 6.5/10
Shadow - Such a heavenly vocal. 5/10
Keeping Your Head Up - My body is surging with endorphins. Love. 9/10
Deep End - Kind of reminds me of 'Another Love' by Tom O'Dell. Such a sweet song, "How do we mend?". 8/10
Wild Horses - I have been playing this on repeat for days now. I was up until 3am last night, mesmerised by the video. Some may say the song is cliché but this is beautiful pop that needs to be appreciated. The bridge hits home for me.  /  9/10
Lost It All - A very solemn piano driven ballad. It almost sounds like 'Colorblind' to me in parts, she should definitely do a cover of that. 6.5
Silhouette - I really like the instrumental on this track; ethereal but poppy in the chorus. 6/10
Lifted - This is so good, mid-tempo suits her so much. I really like the male background vocals too. Her team need to get it remixed, I can see a dance remix doing great in the clubs and on the charts. 8/10
Take My Heart - I'm at that point whilst listening to an album where I need a track to wake me up and this is sending me to sleep. The instrumental and bridge sounds great but I can see the album being criticised for sounding a bit samey. Birdy should take note from Adele's '21'; she was able to create a whole album of tracks that sounded different with the same themes running throughout. 4/10
No need to pay attention to my point scoring, I don't have any real system. I will finish the rest of the tracks tomorrow.
Very proud of Birdy releasing her third album!

Hear You Calling - Definitely one of my favourites so far.
7.5/10
Words - The production and vocals in the first verse was heaven. I legit thought this was going to be a masterpiece but the change in sound during the chorus left me feeling a little cold.
6.5/10
Save Yourself - Angelic but not feeling it.
4/10
Unbroken - I had this playing while I was just pottering about and it got my attention straight away. I hope her team releases it as a single or it get's featured on a Christmas advert.
10/10
Beautiful Lies - Selena her impact. Another perfect Christmas advert song. Love.
9.5/10
Beating Heart - Feeling it; the progression is perfect.
8/10
Final few songs tomorrow.
At least it seems like it picked up in some new countries with the album release
One of the best songs on the album
