Even on albums like LOVEppears & Duty - which jump from bubblegum to rock to ballads to r&b and back again - she had a cohesive theme running through it, lyrically & musically; she had a graphic design concept that was interesting & specific to those albums that had a theme; she had a great single released the same day as those albums with graphic design that tied into the album. Just overall, each album had a "brand" to it, both visually & aurally. Albums since 2006 or so have been easy to kinda get mixed up & muddled together. It's easy to forget which token summer song is on which album, it's easy to forget if a song was on "Love songs" or "LOVE again," that kind of thing. And for new fans that's probably gonna make her discography even more intimidating than it already is.
