I don't see much more similarities to her past work than I see on her other albums tbh...
IMO the time she was at her safest was between 2003 and 2008. Safe summer singles, safe winter singles, safe concert ending songs, the same concert structure every year, avoiding controverse like crazy...
During the NEXT LEVEL era she actually started trying to break her own mold, and she actually did break it starting with Love songs. Right now, even if she releases a ballad I have no way to know it will sound like No Way to Say, her concerts can be pretty much anything, having a classic on her setlist doesn't mean it will be the same old tired arrangment, she openly touches controversial subjects and she finally acts like an adult.
A 36 years old woman producing music based on teen angst would be pretty pathetic... And it kind of annoys me that she actually got in her 30's doing that.
