Meh, so far just another Rihanna/Beyonce/Swift/Add generic pop artist here clone; nothing new, nothing special, voice is generic, music is bleh. She says on the Wiki page that there are a lot of different styles on the album, but so far I've heard nothing but bargain basement pop. I don't see it. “Only You” is the first song I hear here that isn't terrible, but it's still pretty meh. The semi-reggae beat is really the only thing that distinguishes it from the rest of the general pap here. No, I didn't misspell.
The song “Never Forget You” could not be more wrong: I won't remember a thing about this album once I shut it off, nor will I want to. Meh, “Make That Money Girl” is also not terrible, but these are single tracks standing out among pretty much a pile of unremarkable dross. Okay, “One Mississippi” is okay too, but I have yet to hear any of these “darker songs” to which she refers. Got a little better towards the end, but still nothing I'd be raving about.
