an incredibly eclectic debut album. i think this is a record that time has been very kind to. it sounds so incredibly 2011 yet also timeless. nicola condensed who she was at that point in time very well; massive belts with soft vocals, crunchy with glossy production, there’s a fierceness with an underlying mellowness to it all. you can hear her trying to break out of the girls aloud mould. my fellow scouse queen, you deserved better
this is a pretty lush album and its detractors are doing the most. get a grip
collection of bangers that is let down by the collabs at the end and songs like “dance to the music” that could’ve been on disco
