Canadians will have Numbers 1 and 2 (hopefully) with Drake and Sarah. I'm hoping Sarah can pull in over 200k.

Time for my little review of the album.
1. Awakenings 9/10 - This is really a good opening for the album. Nice mid-tempo/power ballad. Love the production in the beginning. Then it turns into really rocky toward the middle of the song. Basically tells the story behind the album. It's easy to tell her music has been at least pertly influenced by her divorce. 2. Illusions of Bliss 7/10 - The beat kinda reminds me of Enrique Iglesias's Ping Pong song. Contains my favorite lyrics from the album, "Here I go again, back into the flame; like a moth so willing to be burned." Not too crazy about the background vocals on this song. Also where she says "without breaking stride" and "get so high" kinda annoys me. Solid song though. 3. Loving You Is Easy 5/10 - We've all heard it. I loved it at first, now it's just ok for me. Actually seems to me it's one of the weakest track on the album. After hearing everything else, would'nt have picked this as the lead single. The production is a bit too cutesy for me. 4. Changes 5/10 - Ok album track. Kinda forgetable and boring to me. Nothing special to mention. 5. Foriveness 10/10 - I love this song. Some more great lyrics, "this house of cards, that had to fall." A great ballad. It's put together very very well; vocals arranged perfectly, nothing too over the top. Seems very radio friendly to me, at least for an adult audience. 6. Rivers of Love 7/10 - Another good ballad. Lyrics and vocals are good. Kinda haunting and dark. Still trying to get into this one. 7. Love Come 10/10 - OMG! This song is great! I can definitelty see this being a single. Some great production here. We even have Sarah screaming a note in the background at one point. This my favorite song on the album. Rock on Sarah! 8. Out of Tune 10/10 - Another great mid-tempo. Lyrics are very sweet. Another single maybe? 9. Heartbreak 8/10 - Love the lyrics "heartbreak, no you can't catch me..." It's like she's really saying that inspite of everything she's been though, she's gonna be fine. 10. Don't Give Up On Us 8/10 - Heard this on the greatest hits. The chorus always gets stuck in my head for days on end. God song. 11. U Want Me 2 10/10 - This should have done so much better than it did. Love it. 12. Bring on the Wonder 4/10 - Very vocally driven. Not really feeling it tho. The harmonies are bit to much for me. 13. Love Come (Piano Version) 10/10 - Love it! Maybe even more single worthy than the original. Perfect, just perfect. I'm really glad they kept the violins and didn't just go with straight up piano the entire song.
Also, the Loving You Is Easy video

I do not like her music but i wish her the very best.
She deserves huge fame and popularity with that voice.

EDIT: Huh i listened to her new single and i change my mind a bit.
The song is lovely i might have to check up on this album after all huh.

I just heard the entire album and it's just lovely.
Gorgeous voice and her songs are so relaxing and calming she puts me in a very good mood with her music.
Definately going to buy it after hearing it :).

#4 and #8 on iTunes. Anytime an artist has both their deluxe and regular editions of their album in the top-10, it's a good sign!

I don't have any favorite on her album, all the songs are great such beautiful lyrics and the melodies are so positive and inspiring.
I hope she does very very well on charts.

I hope it can stay in the top 50 a long time.
If I'm perfectly honest, when I initially heard the album was coming out my first sales prediction was only 25k, lol.
Does anyone know what the next single will be?
