What a generic, awkward album title.

She's nominated for Outstanding New Artist at the 2014 NAACP Image Awards.

Would be fantastic if track 2 is a PM Dawn cover and amusing if track 5 was a Britney one. The rest of these track titles do not excite me at all, however. If this album is finally put out on its current release date she will have only received slightly better treatment than the previous year's runner-up. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

Audio premiere of "Damn"She could actually pull off a pretty great album if "Cried" and "Damn" are any indication of the other material on the album. And even though they're dead-set on keeping it on the track listing, thank goodness they've at least resorted "I Am Beautiful" to an extra acoustic song.

That is a nice song. Her delivery is always heartfelt.

So is the album going to be devoid of percussion?

All of her material is weak. Disappointed. Her voice is too good for this.

When she performed on that gymnastics/ice skating special during the Olympics, I was spellbound. Cried moved me and the other song was also really nice. I was impressed, but I don't have high hopes for this album's success, unfortunately. Despite being the winner, she just doesn't appeal to the masses and she isn't a star. Damn! Damn! Dammmmn! I really like that song. It's simple, yet effective. It should be released to R&B radio. All those jumpoffs out there can relate. If they pick the right singles, she might be an R&B presence like Fantasia, at least.

I've rarely respected Slant's reviews, especially when it comes to R&B artists. I'm definitely looking forward to this album.

Yeah, so this is still being released apparently, lol. Feb. 18! She performed "Cried" on "The View" today and will still have her own Idol special next week.

I really hope the label puts up iTunes snippets or the album will be streaming somewhere this week so I can decide whether or not I want to pity purchase this.

I will honestly be shocked to see this scan anything above 20k upon debut. There's absolutely no hype or buzz around it at all.

They really did her dirty. She is really exactly what R&B is missing right now with Jazmine, Jennifer, Jill, etc. all MIA but she's been given absolutely no push or strategy.
I'll check out her album to see if they could at least get together some good material.
Also I'm just now hearing what everyone was saying about the end of the single. She cried and she cried and she cried and then she stopped. It so abrupt.

iTunes royally fucked her over when they forgot to switch her album release date to Feb. 10 from the October date because she lost all of those post-finale presales (she made it all the way to the middle of the Top 10 on the all-genre albums chart) that downloaded as empty, 0:04 files in October after the release was already pushed again. Her sales will be abysmal.

She needs to write a record with Mariah. That would be far too much in one room, but go headnow.

I never believed for one second this girl had a chance to be a star but, if I like the album, I'm gonna purchase.

This sounds dreadfully boring and dated- like they threw her a bunch of tracks rejected for Jazmine Sullivan's 2008 album. It's like an album you'd expect from the third place finisher.

I like it. It probably won't see any commercial success, though. This sounds dreadfully boring and dated- like they threw her a bunch of tracks rejected for Jazmine Sullivan's 2008 album.

I saw Candice perform "Cried" on The View earlier this week and thought she was impressive, although I don't think she'll be successful. The only thing holding me back from buying the album right now is this strange (unneeded) autotune effect they add to her songs. She sounds much better live.

There are some nice songs but it is really a dud of an album.
I just don't think they tried with her at all. They should have tried to make a Jazmine Sullivan album. This sounds like a bunch of people who don't listen to R&B albums did their best to make one.

Well I guess I'm one of the few people who really enjoy the album. not the best debut album I've ever heard but it isn't horrible by any means. I'm assuming this is the music Candice wanted to make regardless of whether not it has hit potential. She sounds incredible on every song and there are some really beautiful and well-written tracks on it. Same Kinda Man, Damn, Passenger, Forever That Man, and Thank You are my faves!

There's a few so-so tracks, but I'm in with general consensus; pretty bad.
"In the Middle" sounds pretty cool, though. "Forever That Man" ain't bad either... But overall, it's a let down.
