Yes, the hair is awesome. I agree with you there. I noticed that in the review you went from her first album and straight to this one. You write about her fascination with stars and the such as if it just came up here. I honestly believe that stars and space is one of her running themes (hence songs like Welcome To Syberspace, Star, Aquarius Rising, etc) as heard on her last two albums which you’re probably not familiar with since you didn’t mention them. I understand everything isn’t for everyone. However, anyone reading your review, which to me and a lot of her fans on facebook, twitter etc don’t just see a un-biased review, but an article filled with back-handed compliments and a lot of 2nd 3rd and plain inaccurate assumptions. And to mention the writing on the album being the weakest… yeah thats obvious. I forgot that all the girls out there are writing about The Primacy Effect. Or trying to uplift the listeners with songs such as People of the Sun. Those are some common lyrics you hear all over the radio today. Thanks for the response.

I listened to the album a few times, even took a break and came back to it. As far as the album credits, there weren’t any regarding writing on the digital release, so I assumed it was her own work. But, if you want to know who did her hair (which is awesome) on the cover it’s Sir Tony. Also, I liked this album a lot.

Well, I dont know what you mean by “everything bagel”, but if she is than give me two please. I have a hard time with you saying she is mostly known for her work on Saints Row, when there is so much more she is known for. Hence her being an Emmy Nominated Actress. And if you are going to critique her song-writing, it would probably do you well to critique songs she actually wrote. The beats battling for attention? Did you listen to the cd??? Maybe if this was a Rhianna joint with one of these five second up-start producers, I would agree, but c’mon man! i think you should take the cd, stop driving or talking on the phone or whatever you’re doin while its on, and actually sit down and listen to it. Read the credits, so you can criique the appropriate songs and writing, and then re-visit this review.
