Following a sophomore slump, the eclectic singer-songwriter pairs with Timbaland for a pair of chartbusting singles and, uh oh, some duff ballads.

With this album, you're in for a ride through some 2000s sounds. For people born before 2002 the singles are known bangers, they were on the radio basically everywhere."Say It Right" is a masterpiece and a one-of-a-kind song, I could probably write essays about how it hits the listener right in the heart and creates a melancholic atmosphere that I've never witnessed on a mainstream pop song before AND after, but this is not the time for that.

About the rest of the album - it's also ... read more
