The singles were great, the album tracks were even better. People are talking about her being "more mature," but even the cuter songs like Everyday weren't sugar gumdrop explosions like that disgusting song, Melting. It's easily her best album post secret.

Sorry, but I highly disagree with that, for me it's not even as close as consistent as UNIVERSE, for example... In my case I keep thinking what I did when JAPONESQUE was released: good, but she has better. I can't explain exactly why, I mean, I like all the songs on that album, but most of the album tracks lack something imo, that 'something' that makes me completely adore them and want to listen to them all the time. I still think it's a very good album, but definitely not her best.
But, oh well, that's the beauty of different opinions, at least we know that for any album she releases there'll always be people who will love it to death
As for the "mature" sound, I think Bon Voyage is turning to be one of her
least mature albums to date, but I'm not complaining, I'm liking it
