Wasn't it already confirmed at 2nd single today on the radio? :unsure:

 

Oh I don't know, I only watched the YouTube video so I didn't hear it on the radio! I hope it is though!

The clips I heard a few days ago didn't fill me with much hope for this album. From those I thought it would be like the first 2, mostly average...

clips don't give that much of an insight though, because I love it!

 

Faves so far:- Call My Name, Killer Love, Sexy Den A Mutha, Under The Sun and All Is Fair :wub:

as I expected from those clips... HER BEST ALBUM YET!!! many faves, almost no skip songs :o so I look forward to the super deluxe tracks :cheer:

There is only 8 tracks on the Super Deluxe edition, not 9 like stated on the website, Just had mine delivered :D

Mine got despatched yesterday, and I paid extra for delivery, so fingers crossed it's sat waiting for me at home when I get in!

Is anyone able to send me the three new songs on the Soldiers' Edition?

Fantastic album and it works really well as an album, unlike 'Messy Little Raindrops' which had such a mish-mash of styles. Favourites are 'Call My Name' and 'Love Killer'.

'Ghetto Baby' is amazing.

This album is really good. She's progressed so much as a solo artist, especially after feeling like she took a huge step back with 'Messy Little Raindrops'. I'm not sure I love the highlights as much as my favourites from the '3 Words' album, but I'm definitely preferring it as a whole. Quite surprised actually. The clips really don't do it justice. 'Under The Sun' is, indeed growing on me. But I'd still prefer 'Screw You' as a single over it. But it's a grower for sure. 'Telescope' is seriously beautiful!

 

First listen rate:

 

08.0 'Under The Sun'

10.0 'Call My Name'

06.5 'Craziest Things' (feat. Will.I.Am.)

07.5 'Girl In The Mirror'

09.0 'A Million Lights'

10.0 'Screw You' (feat. Wretch 32)

08.0 'Love Killer'

06.5 'Ghetto Baby'

07.0 'Sexy Den A Mutha'

07.5 'Mechanics Of the Heart'

06.0 'All Is Fair'

06.5 'Last One Standing'

05.5 'Boys Lie'

06.0 'One Thousand'

10.0 'Telescope'

 

I can see many of these growing on me.

I am very impressed actually with this effort from Cheryl actually. Overall the album feels like it flows very well and although some of the songs still seems like 'will this do?' type songs and I feel she has used the waterdowned dubstep a little too much in some tracks, most of them are actually very impressive and very well produced. This is clearly better than the alright '3 Words' and the poor 'Messy Little Raindrops'. She has shown some good progression here.

 

8.0 Under The Sun

8.5 Call My Name

7.0 Craziest Things (ft Will.I.Am)

7.5 Girl In The Mirror

9.5 A Million Lights

9.0 Screw You

7.0 Love Killer

6.5 Ghetto Baby

8.5 Sexy Den A Mutha

9.0 Mechanics Of The Heart

8.0 All Is Fair

6.5 Last One Standing

5.0 Boys Lie

7.5 One Thousand

7.0 Telescope

 

Overall, its a 7/10 album but has potential to become a 8/10 effort. Good work Chezza.

Cheryl's voice is beyond weak on this album. However, the songs are good enough that it doesn't distract.

Really enjoying the album after 2 play through. Already my fave of hers.

"Teddy Bear"

 

 

"I Like It"

 

 

 

"Dum Dum"

Strong enough album, Im shocked more people don't love Mechanics Of The Heart, it better be the third single its my favorite Cheryl song ever. No suprise that the weakest song on the album had involvement from Will.I.Am.

8 'Under The Sun'

9 'Call My Name'

3 'Craziest Things' (feat. Will.I.Am.)

6 'Girl In The Mirror'

8 'A Million Lights'

6 'Screw You' (feat. Wretch 32)

7 'Sexy Den A Mutha'

10 'Mechanics Of the Heart'

6 'All Is Fair'

6 'Last One Standing'

4 'Boys Lie'

9 'One Thousand'

7 'Telescope'

Im shocked more people don't love Mechanics Of The Heart, it better be the third single its my favorite Cheryl song ever.

 

I do. It along with the title track are by far and away the best things on the album. Her voice actually suits mid-tempo numbers like them and the melodies are so strong. I can see both of them being my favourite solo Cheryl songs ever along with '3 Words'..

this is a pretty solid album she has really found her sound :D Screw You must be a single :heart: plus i really like the Will.I.Am track :yahoo:

My ratings of the "Soldier" edition tracks:

 

08.0 'Teddy Bear' [This is lovely. Her voice is beautiful on this!]

07.0 'I Like It' [This song feels like there should be a hook in there, but it doesn't quite have one. It's rather strange. Production wise though, reminds me of something from Britney's 'In The Zone' era!]

07.0 'Dum, Dum' [it's decent enough I guess. Very European in the sound. Reminds me of Hadise's stuff. Good, but I can see why it was "only" on the special edition of the album.]

My ratings -

 

8 Under The Sun

10 Call My Name

6 Craziest Things

8 Girl In The Mirror

8.5 A Million Lights

11 Screw You - OBSESSED with this :heart:

10 Love Killer

9.5 Ghetto Baby

9 Sexy Den a Mutha

8.5 Mechanics Of The Heart

8 All Is Fair

8 Boys Lie

7.5 One Thousand

10 Telescope

7 Last One Standing

7 I Like It

9 Make You Go

8 Dum Dum

8 Teddy Bear

 

Nothing less than a 6, by FAR her best album to date!

I'm finding 'Love Killer', 'Ghetto Baby' (it's obvious it's a Lana Del Rey song - That's not why I like it either, as I'm sure a lot of you will know I have no time for her :lol:) and 'Mechanics Of The Heart' to be the biggest growers for me.

 

Also: MOTH is reminding me of 'Fly' in the production in some places.
