1) I was 3/5 - Pretty tune, especially the bridge, and I like that Idina sing deeper than usual here. The text, however, ..
2) Better to have loved 4/5 - Idina sing here more than any other song on the album, the soul from the body, as the saying goes. Deduction for the odd background vocals degrees at the start.
3) Brave 5/5 - begins as a quiet ballad, the then, almost showtune-moderate increases. Is Idina the opportunity to both its quiet "ballads voice" as to stretch their Belting also at the end, and because the text is also somewhat varies between sad and optimistic, the total work very well together.
4) Gorgeous 5/5 - on the one hand high kitschy, sure. But just because the song is so uncompromising and open cheesy, I love him, I must say. It has less of "I firmly believe that the world will one day be better" than of "Fuck it, I'm degree in the mood for groundless optimism, what can otherwise make" - but that is certainly a matter of interpretation.
5) Where do I begin 2/5 - Love Song. Sorry, I find it a bit boring. Maybe you have to listen to him only significantly more often than the others, but so far came there with me very little to.
6) Do not let me down 5/5 - a certain break in the mood between verse and chorus, almost something different answers as standard, which makes the song interesting and of most songs on the album.
7) I feel everything - 5/5 - my personal favorite on the album. After my favorite interpretation about her parents' divorce, for which the little child at the beginning ("Like a prima ballerina I tip-toe around you") would also fit very well.
8) Forever - 4/5 - a relationship that went wrong in spite of high expectations - very pretty, but those songs are just but a few.
9) My Own Worst Enemy - 2/5 - the verses I like quite well, the chorus will not, however, do justice and something takes the tension out. I think the song would be better können.Das subject "himself in the way" is not in itself a bad choice.
10) Perfume and Promises - 5/5 - rather melancholic song about wasted opportunities in terms of a relationship. I like very well, precisely because he The mood on this album fall out something and Idina this mood brings over really well.
Conclusion: Although me so, see above, individually many songs very much, I have to say a little more variety would not have hurt the album. With a lot of good will can be something like "I feel everything" an indie feel, or maybe "I stood" write some country, but it sounds much like, and unfortunately it also limits Idinas ways to use her voice. Similarly for the lyrics - nowadays it is certainly difficult to write lyrics that are clichéd in any form, but some was very general. For now, okay, but I'm not sure whether it is possible to fill me in the way many other albums.
Ultimately, if you Idina knows and loves, you will, and if it takes a bit like me, probably also like this album - if not, I would probably advise you, it but only with their musical songs to try. But this may simply be because I prefer the genre.
