Strong start. Doesn't reach any particular great heights. The breakdown is cute I suppose.
Better than expected though.
07 (which by the rules, will also be my score for the whole album)

I love how so many places can have her at number one, including several in the Caribbean, but Dominican Republic is just over it

Woman In Me sounds like a lot of songs she has done before that were MUCH better.

The "dictaphone recordings" towards the end of My Little Love are so raw, it's actually quite difficult to listen to! Not what I was expecting!

Can I Get It is the only one I've really enjoyed so far

Ok I'm getting into the vibe a bit more now. Really quite into Woman Like Me.

To Be Loved is a great song with awful vocals

OK, so I finished work, fell asleep, woke up, caught up with Mr Ag and popped this on. We've both enjoyed it as a background album and that's no bad thing.
On second listen the crying breakdown is a choice...

Can I Can Get It is the most obvious contender.

So I enjoyed it overall, though I think it'll need a few listens to bed in. It's a lot less instant than the previous albums.
And River Lea came on Spotify straight after and just felt a lot more catchy and compact. But obviously that's not what she was going for this time!

"Can I Get It" sounds like a HIT. I definitely hear the "Faith" influence (probably unintentional tbh).
The whistle, guitar, maracas (?) and the "COOOOME WITH ME!" hook are a delight. The first verse kind of gives me "Rolling in the Deep" vibes too.

It kind of makes me think of what an Amy Winehouse song would sound like in 2021

yes, it's almost like the songs released and previewed pre-album are designed to give a taste of the album itself around which people might form opinions and expectations positive and negative...

Currently #1 on iTunes in 90 countries, and on Apple Music in 123 countries
I mean that is fucking astonishing. As I said in the sales thread, this really is interesting from the view of the state of the global market, because no other act could be bigger

allegedly these are the Friday UK figures...
86k physical
+24k digital
=110k (no streaming)
I don't know how many of the vinyls shipped already, but the actual sales of her first week should definitely be cruising toward 250-300k+ if this is any indicator. with streaming too, 450k+ should be within easy reach.
