'Under The Sun' is fantastic! Great light summery pop song. I think I might be in the minority who prefer it to 'Screw You' too.
Can't wait to get my hands on this album now and glad to see 'Make You Go' on the super deluxe version, love that song!

My super deluxe still hasn't been sent out :(

 

But we have had the deluxe playing at work today :D Amazing :wub: Hope my Cheryl t-shirt arrives for Monday :D

Under The Sun is amazing. So happy it's the 2nd single instead of Screw You.
Hope my Cheryl t-shirt arrives for Monday :D

 

Cheryl t-shirt? Where do I get me one?!

Mine was dispatched yesterday and I only placed my order on Tuesday...

 

Maybe because mine is signed delivery. Might get sent out tomorrow I hope!

Official site, under merchandise :D

Full leak! ^_^ Downloading as we speak. :D
Listened to the majority of the main tracks... On first impression, it's without a shadow of a doubt her best album by a mile. You can tell she's worked on it over time as opposed to a 2 week recording session like the first 2.
Out of everything I've heard I'm still not convinced by Cheryl Cole as a solo artist at all. Apart from "Call My Name" and "Fight For This Love" I really don't feel there's anything else she's done that no-one else could do (and miles better at that I may add). But there's always demand for her and being that pretty / having so much of a media presence will only really help her shift the units - but yeah, she can't sing (and that's proven by the loons in here even going "she actually sounds quite good here!!") She's supposed to be good nearly all of the time children.

To be fair though, when have we heard Britney sing live recently? It doesn't stop her releasing music and forging a career for herself, which for the most part has been incredibly successful. There's a whole host of artists nowadays that are successful that don't have the best singing voices, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna even...

 

As for the first bit, I don't think I've heard anything in the past few years that I don't think somebody else could've executed better, it's all about material that suits, and certainly listening to this album it seems like she's found that.

 

As Cheryl said herself recently, she knows she's no Mariah or Whitney - nor has she ever claimed to be. She's a performer, there's nothing wrong with that!

Jeez, the more I listened the more I'm REALLY surprised at how good a Cheryl album is. :lol: I've always been a fan (obvs, I'm a geordie lass!) but always been really underwhelmed by her solo albums. Last One Standing is spectac. I hear it's a bonus track!?!
Im shocked that I actually like this album, not to sound like a hater but her first two albums were complete garbage...IMO. UTS and AML are my favourites so far!

All of the people mentioned re: singing all have a gimmick and a distinctive voice which sets them all apart, they all sing songs that suit them and they have a strong personality whereas Cheryl gets hand-me-downs rejected by other artists and sings them with a delivery that even when layered is still a bit uncomfortable. I do understand that Cheryl is a performer but the only reason she got a career in the first place was because she was famous beforehand, not for her own vocals but for vocals with 4 other girls so they all helped each other out. The rest were famous from the get go because they wrote their own songs and/or had a distinctive style whereas Cheryl is just a bit... bland? There's nothing setting her apart aside from her looks.

Really loving 'Ghetto Baby' and 'Love Killer'. Hopefully both will somehow become singles!
