Warrior sounds amazing. Very excited about this album. It sounds a step up from anything else she has done to date but can’t see it doing as well as her other albums. May platinum at a push?

This is out on Friday! I'm really looking forward to hearing the full thing and have been playing her other albums in anticipation so I hope it lives up to the standards she's set.

She has posted a preview of the opening track with Samuel L Jackson on her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BbbfhcdBGRT/

Title track is SO SO SO good... and 'Warrior" is really good around the 2:43 mark.

I'm reviewing whole album now so should have it out by 6pm, if anyone cares... lol

1. Evolution: reminds me so much of the introduction to Alicia Keys' "Here". Don't rate introductions as per Meaning Of Life album thread!
2. The Architect: Her diction is a bit off in this for me but I think this will translate better live and I'm glad this has come straight away in the tracklisting. Nothing more I dislike about these concept albums where the title track is second from last or something! laugh.gif 7/10
3. Guilty: Love the inspiration behind this track, such a grower from first listen! 7/10
4. Crybaby: brilliant, such an unsurpising sound to go for in terms of come back single and love how much airplay this has had, especially with Heart! 9/10
5. I'll Be Gentle: probably not my favourite of hers and feels very album track-y.
6. Politics of Hope: another interlude-introduction drama.gif
7. Kings and Queens: probably the one on the album so far that I really don't like and feels filler sad.gif 3/10
8. Surrender: A bit more engaging than the previous track but still nothing standout 5/10
9. Warrior - I'd forgotten Sia had written for this album but instantly this felt very Sia. Paloma sounds fantastic on this wub.gif 8/10
10. 'Til I'm Done: Finally something really upbeat in the same line as Crybaby. Fabulous and feels very retro! biggrin.gif 8/10
11. Lost and Lonely: and were back to filler drama.gif very middle of the road 4/10
12. Still Around: I was very excited for this after hearing Tobias Jesso Jr was on board but very one tone and doesn't build enough for me sad.gif 4/10
13. Pawns - another interlude drama.gif
14. WW3 - upbeat, pleasant and very similar to 'Til I'm Done! 6/10
15. Love Me As I Am: I liked this one when I heard it on her BBC2 red button special last week. Sounds good on album! 7/10
Deluxe tracks (even though the album was long enough before hand):
16. Power to the Peaceful: Snooze again 3/10
17. Tonght's Not The Only Night: reminds me a bit of Olly Murs - Dance With Me Tonight. 4/10
18. My Body - is this a demo or filler? WHAT EVEN IS THAT PRODUCTION 3/10
19. Price of Fame - I liked this and feels like a good closer. 6/10

Overall: this is probably my least favourite of hers. Her debut and A Perfect Contradiction were FANTASTIC. This feels very filler-y and was a very long drawn out listen sad.gif Crybaby, Guilty, Love Me As I Am, Warrior and Til I'm Done are easily the standouts.

Warrior actually slays! It's so, so good. In fact the whole album is solid!

The first half of the album really has grown since my first listen. I'm enjoying Surrender a bit more now and Guilty is BRILLIANT.

Typo from earlier post - meant surprising, not unsurprising when commenting on Crybaby laugh.gif

I am expecting another video in the architect story to be released at somepoint though - I can see this being similar to Florence and HBHBHB with The Odeysey videos.

'Warrior' is seriously stunning. Her best since 'Picking Up the Pieces' for me! It's Sia by numbers, but so powerful and inspiring! It could do really well if it was a single! OLCHLT sort of well, I imagine!

I've only listened to the standard edition so far but my highlight is currently "Kings and Queens". "Guilty" has grown on me massively too, not that I didn't like it before wub.gif So so pleased that it's looking set to be her first ever jameela.jpg #1 album after two #2s, she really deserves it (although if it stops Dua winning British Female at the Brits, I'mma be pissed ph34r.gif )
