I like the album so far, with all those EDM music rule the world music industry, this album brings a refreshment for my body and soul.
West Coast is still my favorite. Then Shades of Cool, Cruel World (Love the electric guitars session), Brooklyn Girl is cute and a bit whimsical in a good way, Money Power Glory (I thought its gonna be a second episode of National Anthem), Florida Kilos. Still trying to get used with the others.
What I don't get with this album is why she choose to be minimalist with the music? Different from her previous album with a touch of RnB and others. Basically what I heard most is just electric guitars and drum. And mostly they played those instruments really soulful. Is she trying to convince some people that she really can sing? Since there are assumption that a singer who can't sing polished by great music in the song they sing.
