I just found an article about her on Billboard (interview actually) and all I did was listen to My Kind of Love and I can't stop listening to it. I'm totally psyched for her album now.

My Kind of Love is the first thing I've heard from her that I've liked... not keen on Next to Me at all!

Next to Me deserves to be a major US hit!

Best album of the year, IMO. $5 at Amazon MP3 and "Where I Sleep" is a free download.

I can't wait to hear it! I have it but haven't opened it yet, since I'm soaking in What We Saw from the Cheap Seats, Listen Up! and Bear Creek right now, so another album would be overload.

Strange.....I was just at a Best Buy so I could pick up Brandi Carlile's new album and I looked ALL OVER for this and it was nowhere to be found....so I was thinking I had the release date wrong and it was coming out next wk. Anyone know the price at Target?

It was $8.99 at Newbury Comics too. I picked it up because I liked her in Tinie Tempah's "Let Go" and my coworker was raving about some of her songs. I listen to the clips online at work today and knew I had to have it. Can't wait til I can digest the whole thing. I do hear Beyonce in there, as well as Leona and Adele but she is just so cool and her aesthetic works for me.

This album is amazing. I was expecting it to be filler-laden for some reason but it really is outstanding. She's written an entire album of potential pop/R&B standards.

I was expecting this album to get off to a stronger start in the States but it's barely inside the top-20 on iTunes.

^ And it's not getting very much press. I'm surprised and disappointed.

The lowest predictions for next week are 12-15k for the Rock of Ages and Victorious soundtracks. I'm hoping she pulls in at least 10k.

She's getting basically no exposure over here. She has a song floating around the bottom of the Urban AC and Triple A charts. I don't see that selling albums. The only people I see buying this album are people who've learned about her online because of her success in the UK.

I like the album overall, but for me it falls a little short of being "good". Some of the songs are just BLAH to me. Also, the repetitive vocal lines on some songs become annoying after a while. I think it's a pretty decent debut, but it didn't captivate me the way I thought it would.

She's getting basically no exposure over here. Yes. Did anyone expect this to sell in its initial week? She's more of a grassroots artist. Her fan base is likely one that will build over time if she remains committed to the US market. I still think success is possible here after time.
