Love Songs is so... unique. When I first heard it, I felt it suffered from many of the songs never fully "TAKING OFF" - none of them have the WOW/FIERCE factor of her greatest songs (my name's WOMEN, STEP you, is this LOVE?, etc - you know, all those POWERFUL songs). However, the album is full of really great music. It takes some time to get used to the choruses of each song, as many of them do not sound like choruses at all, but once you become familiar with the flow, it truly is a very beautiful album.

In fact I just listened to it today again on my drive home. It made me nervous for the new album, because it really does have something to live up to, imo.
