Her marketing team has done a great job. Anyone else remember how hated she was about a year ago? Sounds like shes written some great songs too based on the reviews.

I just started listening to this and track #2 is a bop already. "Something's Gotta Give", "Into It" and "All These Years" are me favorites.

Heard the album. Based off of first listen, it’s very ..... medium, for lack of a better word. None of the songs are terrible by any means, but there’s really no standout track aside from Havana, which is definitely the song with the most personality. The album overall doesn’t really feel like a body of work, in fact, it’s kind of all over the place sonically which I don’t necessarily mind if the songs are really strong, but this was just overall very... meh. It’s just not very memorable, but her core fanbase will probably enjoy this.

I was concerned with the album length when I first saw the track listing, but it really works! I'd much rather have 10 straight amazing songs than an album with 15 songs that has a third of it as filler.

Based on clips, nothing besides what has already been released really grabbed me but maybe I will give the songs a full listen before deciding to buy.

Don't get why "OMG" was not included - it fits perfectly with the vibe of this album.

Something's Gotta Give aside, I like everything. I think the length works to its strength given how mellow it is.
In The Dark for the next single.

I dig she loves control please let this be a single, into it. all these years gives me a little brandy. Omg should of been on the album. I could do without consequences and inside out its so cheesy kids bop. Very solid debut! 8/10
Im disappointed the ed song, the boy didnt make it i was looking forward to it!

Havana Something’s Gotta Give
Havana at least had personality and SGG is a cute enough ballad. Outside of that, she should’ve kept this Dora Explores the Middle of the Road album to herself.

Overall: 2/5
I enjoy Havana, SLC, SGG, ITD. and Into It. Everything else is really bad.

I really like the album.
Inside Out, She Loves Control, and Into It seem like the most obvious single choices.
Consequences with an outside chance if they decide to take a huge risk.

I don’t really like anything on the album...the songs don’t have enough “OOMPH” for me.

I get that they don't know what to do with her considering her first singles flopped and the she finally broke through with a Latin sounding song. They could have gone full bore making her into a latin pop girl, but thats obviously not who she is. She will need a new album thike time next year to know if she has any real clout, i think

Very Middle of the Road Album, nothing is honestly awful on it, but nothing really stands out either, besides Havana.
Also, what was the point of putting the radio edit of NBTS on it?

Phenomenal first effort. I don't dislike any tracks, so that's great. Into It and In The Dark are definitely my top 2.

"She Loves Control" is a bop.

This album is so... subdued. It's an easy listen, but not a particularly compelling one. She just doesn't leave much of an impression as an artist, as a performer or as a personality. Hopefully she'll be bolder and take some chances the next time around. Solid first effort though!

I like it so far, but it feels short to me. I wish they'd included "OMG", "I Have Questions", and the "Havana" Remix with Daddy Yankee.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a good sign for her debut that she has multiple songs charting in the Top 100 on iTunes?
