I really like the album, very pleasant pop country listen. I like all of her three singles, and I would add Somebody Else's Heartbreak, Karma on The Rocks, and One Of These Days as my other favorites. Shame that she is unlikely to do more than just scraping the bottom of the chart with the current label, but at least I hope that they will keep supporting her by trying more radio singles.

Being on Curb is both a help and a hindrance. In some ways, the fact that she was able to get 3 radio singles already and the album released is great and has me hopeful Curb will continue to push her. Some artists signed to major labels spend years just collecting dust or get like 1 shot, so Hannah may have not even gotten the support she's gotten so far if she were sharing label space with other bigger names. That said, Curb is generally... not a great label with that big of a pull historically, especially for females, so her chances of superstardom are definitely low. But at least they're trying with her and seem committed so that's been nice to see. Hopeful that they'll try a 4th single now that the album is out and maybe that one can even make it into the 40s? #smallvictories

As for the record, I definitely like it as well. There's certainly nothing on it that jumps out at me in a big way, but it's a solid and comfortable listen and I like her voice well enough. "Karma on the Rocks" and "Somebody Else" seem like a good radio options imo. Both are very catchy, which is her strength as an artist.
