This artist keeps coming up in my New York Times crossword puzzle, so I guess its about time I figured out what she is about. Beautiful singer - great dance songs. What's not to like? Great remake of "Praise You". "That Girl" - while I thought Eddie Murray's "Party All The Time" was pretty atrocious back in the day, using the chorus in this made me smile and I kind of love it! I thought this was a pleasure to listen to. Terrific!

This dance-pop album is of the "in one ear and out the other" kind. It's mostly harmless, but also quite forgettable. The fact that the best song by far, "Praising You", is a reworked version of a far better original hit by Fatboy Slim says it all.

Very respectable entry in the romantic diva kind of pop genre. While well-written most of the lyrics hew fairly close to the standard tropes of that genre, some self-empowerment curveballs are a welcome contrast. A littlendifficult not to get distracted by the thought that all these effusive declarations of romance are about Taika Waititi?

Ora has an incredible voice, just can't help but feel the production and songwriting has let her down here. The backing tracks sound like they were scrambled together using Ableton presets, and so many of the tracks have repetitive verses and pretty bare-bones lyrics. I enjoyed a few songs off of this one, but felt it could have had a much larger impact.

A pretty simple pop album. Nothing too ground breaking here. There has to be a few of these every decade for the tweens to love and cherish. But I’m no tween. I’m a man. I’m 40. 4.2/10

It’s not the worst pop album Iv heard, but a strange choice all the same.

You'd think at least ONE of the 60000 people who wrote this album could've come up with something better than semi-literate, Bonnie and Clyde-themed garbage. Guess not. 1/5.
