March 5, 201510 yr My physical copy came today, it's so shiny *.* the album art works so well like that. 08 Heartbeat Song Really grown on me, especially in the context of the album 07 Invincible Kinda going off it, some really good bits to it, but it doesn't feel very Kelly-ish 11 Someone Best on the album, love it, 03 Take You High the devil chanty warbly bit totally ruins a potentially great song. 10 Piece by Piece A really strong track and probably one of the songs that feels most like a Kelly one 10 Run Run Run (ft. John Legend) Gorgeous, please be the Just Give Me A Reason of 2015 7.5 I Had A Dream Decent, I think i'll come to love this soon. Sounds very J-Lo 'Never Satisfied' too 7.5 Let Your Tears Fall Liked it on first listen and grown more since then. 05 Tightrope Boring, she normally does well with ballads, but this is just so nothingy. 08.5 War Paint Another strong one, few and far between here. 08.5 Dance With Me Like a less in your face P!nk track, but I kinda like it 04 Nostalgic Don't see how this is so popular 07 Good Goes The Bye Pretty decent, nothing amazing though 6.5 Bad Reputation Again, kinda tame-P!nk but not as good as Dance With Me 04 In the Blue Dull. 07 Second Wind Not a brilliant track, but better than the last few. Not as bad as when I first listened, but still not that amazing.

March 5, 201510 yr Didn't include my 11 - I'd say the title track is my favourite <3 It's the one that sounds most like classic Kelly, but still progresses her sound a bit. This album is lacking a real concrete non-single fave for me though like Cry on AIEW, Addicted on Breakaway, Irvine on My December and Honestly on Stronger. You can kinda tell she's had little input, the tracks are going to be impersonal if they're just written by producers because they wanted her to put an album out. But as has been said, she's busy as a mother and wanted to have the best of both - this way she could easily record but not be tied up writing etc. all the time. So hopefully the next album is more personal, perhaps the country album she's been yearning to do <3
March 5, 201510 yr Apparent Good Goes The Bye is the second UK single :/ oh jesus wept :manson: i'll forgive Heartbeat Song as that was a hit but wtf?!
March 5, 201510 yr Good Goes The Bye is my favvv, no shade gang! Bad Reputation reminds me of a throwback of Walk Away!
March 5, 201510 yr Apparent Good Goes The Bye is the second UK single :/ Really?? Run Run Run is such an obvious single
March 5, 201510 yr Apparent Good Goes The Bye is the second UK single :/ Where was this confirmed? I thought Invincible was going to be released as the second here?
March 5, 201510 yr 'Run Run Run' won't be released until both Kelly's and John's label agree to it. GGTB would be a bizarre single choice. Especially over the likes of 'Invincible', 'Piece By Piece', 'War Paint' and 'Take You High'.
March 6, 201510 yr OK, today I've been playing 'Good Goes the Bye' a couple of times to get used to it, just in case it is the next single. It's actually not as bad a choice as I originally thought it would be. Still a bit radnom considering the other hit potential singles on the album, but it's not exactly a disastrous choice imo. If I had control of the era. I'd release the following: 01. 'Heartbeat Song' 02. 'War Paint' / 'Invincible' >> Any of them would make decent second singles. Can't help but feel WP would be the better choice though... << 03. 'Piece By Piece' 04. 'Run Run Run' >> X Factor season << 05. 'Take You High' This album has quite a few songs that would make decent singles actually! 'Someone', 'Dance With Me' (this would be a pretty big hit tbh!), 'Nostalgic', 'Good Goes the Bye' and 'In The Blue' stick out as decent singles too. The latter two would make good 4th/5th singles. I'd like to think 'I Had A Dream' would make a good single, but I honestly think it would bomb! :( EDIT: Oh and the lyrics in PBP are GORGEOUS. Really beautiful song! Really not surprised that it's a Kelly written song <3
March 6, 201510 yr Take You High is literally the only song I wanna listen to now :drama: damn, it's so addictive and a grower.
March 6, 201510 yr She HAS to release Take You High, it's the most experimental song she's ever done I think and it would be perceived really well.
March 6, 201510 yr Take You High is amazing, it's growing to be my 11 really <3 Good Goes The Bye isn't terrible or anything, it's just pretty average and a bit like something that say Pink or another singer of that ilk might release as an Australia only single with a tour video.
March 6, 201510 yr She's shut down Katie Hopkins' "fat shaming" comments. http://www.buzzfeed.com/sheridanwatson/kel...eigh#.lw7rL4RaX <3 She's so perfect :cry:
March 6, 201510 yr I take back any previous negativity that I was giving out prior to hearing the album/after hearing "Heartbeat Song". This album is SO much better than that and more importantly she is! There are so many excellent songs on here, obviously it's a shame that she's not had as much creative input into them but if the music is this good, then I don't really care (also hello "Breakaway"/"Since U Been Gone" - two of her best songs - were not written by her). It's difficult to pick an absolute favourite just yet but I'm loving "Bad Reputation" and "Piece by Piece", but "Invincible" is the obvious single right now. Also, RE: Katie Hopkins's comments, she does have a point (albeit worded horribly!) - I was pretty shocked by her appearance on The Graham Norton Show but I think today's society and media are far too focused on aesthetics when really Kelly has never been about, nor should it matter.
March 6, 201510 yr Ugh @ Katie, there's nothing wrong with the way Kelly looks. She looks radiant in fact and is clearly in a very happy place in her life. The album sounded pretty strong to me on the first listen with 5 or 6 clear highlights and the rest still sounding rather good also. Invincible, War Paint, Piece By Piece, Nostalgic and Run Run Run are all tunes!
March 7, 201510 yr Ok. The label just need to skip straight to 'Dance With Me' as the next single (or at least after 'Invincible'!). It's giving me massive 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)' vibes! It would be a massive smash! I really can't get enough of it atm. Re-thinking potential singles release schedule. I'd go (presuming 'Invincible' is the second single). 01. 'Heartbeat Song' 02. 'Invincible' 03. 'Dance With Me' >> Summer single << 04. 'Piece By Piece' >> Q4 promo etc.. << 05. 'Run Run Run' >> Awards Season (Grammys/BRITs etc..) << 06. 'Take You High' >> Use as the single to promote her tour etc.. <<
March 7, 201510 yr Just out of interest, I went back to see how many songs Kelly wrote on 'Stronger' because of the discussion we were having about how personable this album is. She only wrote 7 out of 18 tracks and all three singles were written by other people. She wrote 5 out of 16 on 'PBP'. She's had as much input into both :lol:
