She can sell a song and inject it with age-appropriate enthusiasm that sustains her through the moments when Turn It Up glides by on its surface, while making the album -- at its best -- pretty damn infectious, too.

Fun and feisty but hard to distinguish from the rest of this year’s girl pop pack.

Daffy girl pop with just the teensiest bit of attitude, enough retro influences and the odd acceptable ballad.

Unfortunately Turn It Up, bar two brilliant singles, just doesn't stand up to repeat listens.

The generic patchwork of this debut LP suggests it's business as usual at the modern pop production line.

Turn It Up is a wasted opportunity, weighed down by beige soul ballads and cheap-sounding R&B that could have been cranked out for any talent show contestant.

At the risk of sounding trite, I couldn't wait to Turn It Off.
