Joint 15th Place: Beautifully Unfinished

Score: 117

 

Beautifully Unfinished. An underrated ballad just waiting to be on a film score (move over Yours!). Middle of the road for most on Buzzjack although Cameron 0, Calum Hood 10 think different!... and Cody Slayberry 8 (It's asking for a dance remix!)- yep agreed!!

 

 

13th Place: All Again

Score: 122.5

 

A fairly anonymous song on the album, rarely mentioned. But it has a stunning, searing vocal from Ella and has an interesting, almost musical theatre feel at times.

Sean gave it a mighty 10, most everyone else a solid 7 or so.

 

 

12th Place: Giants

Score: 127

 

Giants is the final song on the Deluxe album. Co-written with Claude Kelly, it is an uplifting, feel good song which I think could be a commercial success. Sadly it was left off the US release of Chapter One so obviously ‘her team’ feel differently!

Most on Buzzjack liked the song, but it was hurt by Sean 4 and Acidburn 5 grrrr.

 

All Again is one of my favourites on the album - I don't get how it's rated so averagely by everyone on here :(

Agreed, the lyrics in the Youtube thumbnail are just perfect as well! :wub:

 

11th Place: The First Time

Score: 127.5

 

Surprisingly beating Giants is one of my least favourite tracks on the album, The First Time. For me a bit of a jazzy mashup with a nasty intro! Although to be fair the chorus is decent.

Sean, Ultraviolence and Ryan gave this 9 with most the Buzzjack pack giving it a 6 or 7.

 

 

10th Place: Hard Work

Score: 129.5

 

Into the top 10 and the bigger hitters and quite a few surprises!

At #10 we have Hard Work. A nice laid back track incorporating some fantastic whistle notes (Would like to hear them live, we know she can deliver after her great XFactor ‘Loving You’ performance!).

It was supported by a cute Vevo video showing some of Ella’s ‘hardworking journey’. The track seems to be popular in the US and in fact charted #73 in Austria, no idea why!

Ryan gave it a mighty 10, Cameron and PAJ88 a 9.5.

 

Beautifully Unfinished & Giants are two of my highlights of the album. Shame they finished near the bottom :(

Beautifully Unfinished & Giants are two of my highlights of the album. Shame they finished near the bottom :(

 

Two of my favs as well! I guess I like pop, soul and some gospel--anything like jazz I run a mile!

'The First Time' is very Back To Basics era Xtine, along the lines of something like 'Slow Down Baby'.

 

I forgot to vote in this but really hoping 'Give Your Heart Away' doesn't crash out soon. I love it so much.

 

9th Place: Rockets

Score: 137

 

Rockets comes in at #9, Kaboom! Co-written with Claude Kelly ("My Life Would Suck Without You", "Party in the U.S.A.", "Wrapped Up") and produced by TMS, Ella's favourite production team.

It’s a soulful feel good song and one of my favourites on the album- although it divides opinion ahem Cameron 11 vs Sean -1 !!

Gave it my -1 rightly so :kink:

Sean lacks taste. As usual ;)

Hard Work and Rockets should absolutely be higher!

Happy with the results so far. No big disappointments here although I do wish Giants was a bit higher.

 

8th Place: Give Your Heart Away

Score: 137.5

 

Somehow just beating the mighty Rockets is ‘Give Your Heart Away’. A harmless mid range ballad, for me approaching filler and punching above its weight in the Buzzjack Rate! Calum Hood 11, Cody and Liam 10 evidently think different!!

 

And now for the first big surprise......

 

7th Place: Mirror Man

Score: 138

 

Mirror Man, Ella’s 4th UK single, drops in at number 7!! Co-written with Al Shux (Alicia Keys Empire State of Mind) it showcases Ella’s soul laden vocal talent and has great production.

Maybe it’s a grower and after seeing the stunning video, co-starring a panther (Murphy), some may have changed their mind of late, I have…..

But it failed to make much chart impact (#96) and they may have been better having a look at Buzzkjack’s top 5 before going with it as a single!

 

'Give Your Heart Away' is incredible! That would have been a 10 for me had I participated.

Haha 'If Only'! To be fair it might have made top 5 if you had!!

 

Another surprise next------
