Why is "Strawberry Fields" just an intro! It knocks so hard! Besides the singles: Gave Me Something Ain't Got Far to Go Why Me Take Me Home
are my initial favorites upon first listen.

I bought the UK deluxe edition and it's like listening to a greatest hits album lol. A debut album with a career's worth of hits.
I absolutely love her style, piano-driven dance pop at its finest. I hope this charts well over here, she deserves it.

After listening to the album I think the singles are the strongest tracks for sure.

"You Can Find Me" is a BOP! Some filler throughout, but a solid debut effort.

Saw her last night and was blown away. I liked her before, but now I stan. Insane talent and presence for a new artist, plus her opener was amazing.
So close to the Queen of UK Pop :'(.

The next single from I Cry When I Laugh is "Take Me Home" and the music video was premiered on Facebook today. Also, there are strong rumours that this track will be announced as the official song for BBC Children in Need 2015 next week.

I could see that deal working out immensely in favor to this song. I will say that I hope "Saddest Vanilla" never sees the light of day because it is the true definition of mundane and mediocre. I like the edited version of the North American release except I would've swapped "Rather Be" for "Real Love" and the same with "My Love (Acoustic)" for one of my favorite releases last year, "Right Here". I can deal with the exclusion of "Strawberry Fields" since they neglected to make that a full track since it deserved such treatment. "Gave Me Something" or an official release of "Why Me" deserve to be next on the block. Both stellar tracks, especially "Why Me" which deviates from all of the singles that have seen a release so far.

Heard "Hold My Hand" on one of the Pop stations here. Is that her 2nd US single after "Real Love" for this album?

Something about her voice draws me in. I'm giving her album a listen right now.

Approximately two years later and I'm just now realizing the girl from the "Rather Be" video is not the actual girl singing it.
