Re-review. Fuck it, I'm nailing my colours to the mast on this one. YOU'RE ALL WRONG.

I was at the Princess of Power tour in Manchester last night and it was so very palpable that she had come of age as an artist in this album and this performance.

Everything from this record was sodding delightful.

I don't care if the average user rating is 66. I don't care if my average follow score is 58. This album was her realising herself as a person. It's a 100.

This is more refined than expected from Kim Petras, but refinement alone no longer feels radical in a genre this saturated. It's enjoyable, polished hyperpop. However, it's not original or sonically divergent enough to justify a top score. A laudable effort, but not an AOTY contender.

I don't speak any Spanish but I felt this album completely. Luis Miguel commits unashamedly to passion and to emotion. He doesn't stop to ask whether he is too much. No, he declares it boldy. This is excellent melodic sophistipop. I am fully behind it.

There's not enough fire. There's not enough conviction. The melody is okay, but it's just too nice. This sounds hesitant; declare it and go fully.
