AllMusic

On her sophomore effort, 2013's Trouble, Kills is still the party girl with daddy issues and a sex-damaged swagger.

Edit: Still a perfect album! I better witness Natalia Kills/Teddy Sinclair come back, because I am always so shattered at the lost potential here.

Pop album of the decade and I won't entertain other opinions. Kills/Sinclair's Problem walked so Billie Eilish's Bad Guy could run. With this release it was clear she was steadily growing as an artist, moving away from SOME of her more naive (and, for lack of a better word, "tumblr-y") quirks.

An overall improvement over her debut, Natalia sounds more confident on this record. Her vocals sound more powerful, and her style has shifted to a more alternative pop-rock direction that still sounds good today. It's a pity that this was her last project released under the Natalia Kills alias, as this album sounds like she finally perfected the sound that suited her reckless party-girl persona.

Best tracks: Television, Boy's Don't Cry, Saturday Night, Outta Time, Contoroversy, Trouble
