I can't wait for this, that cover is FABULOUS and her new look/sound is just brilliant.

 

I'm also relieved it's only 10 tracks as any more and her voice would start to irritate. Will be buying this :D

My god, this girl annoys me so much. There's something about her which just makes me want to hit her.

 

I promise never to retunr to this thread again. Promise. :lol:

I agree - that cover is great! :o

After hearing 'So Human' I really can't wait for this!

Ooh I love the cover art! :o

Will be intrested to hear this, what I've heard so far has been really good.

Have you even heard 'So Human' yet? :o It's brilliant, took me by surprise and I HATE her. :lol:

 

Looking forward to this album more than I should TBH! :lol:

Hmmm on play.com now the cover art is this:

I still prefer the one in the 1st post tbh.

I think I prefer that new one. Both are missing something though.
I like that much better, but I'm not fond of her name placement, it looks like it needs to go left a little and I find the rainbow gradient text a bit tacky anyway.
That cover's weird :wacko: It's making it look like my Screen is slanted a little :(

I like both cover arts but i prefer the first one..

I Got U Dancing is amazing :wub:

Will defo check this out :thumbup:

RATE

 

06.5 | Let's Be Mates - Not the strongest opener in the world. I prefer when she SINGS tbh. It's ok though and will possibly grow.

10.0 | So Human - Better than life

10.0 | Jigsaw - LUSH is the word, the strings, guitar, vocals are just brilliant. She doesn't have the strongest voice in the word but it WORKS on this track amazingly.

09.5 | Bang Bang - Synth heaven with her rapping and singing occasionally. It relies on production a bit too much I feel.

10.0 | I Got You Dancing - First song that leaked, catchy and ultimately fabulous, the first song by SOV that I LOVED.

06.5 | Pennies - This one won't appeal to her "new" fans who like the electro sound shes using. It's very much what would appear on her last album. Chorus is a bit $h!t.

06.5 | Guitar - Same as above really. Although she sings the chorus it's not very catchy LOL.

08.5 | Student Union - Ahhh that's more like it. This is catchy/funky with a strong chorus.

05.0 | Food Play - LOL @ This. Wtf? When the verses kick in it gets better but the intro is odd and then some haha.

08.5 | I Got The Goods - And back to amazing again :wub: beat is BRILLIANT and the chorus is rather good.

 

Overall: Mixed bag really, hopefully the ones I don't like will grow but it has some good little jems on there. A deffinite improvement from the previous album though. My Score: 8.1

I think it's fair to say I expected better... the whole thing is so toned-down compared with the stuff from her debut. The most attitude is in I Got You Dancing, but most of it is pretty unmemorable. Guitar is the worst Sov song I've heard. Student Union feels like too blatant an attempt to be 'down with the youth' - I can imagine that song would be anything but impressive to them (it isn't to me). By the way, that's a reference to some of the lyrics and the spoken middle 8; the melody of the song is quite nice. Food Play is pleasingly 90s R&B-lite, So Human and Jigsaw are great songs.

 

Overall though, it's just so... watery. It feels like a record company took the album Sov gave them and demanded she re-recorded with fifty litres of added water. I'm just a bit disappointed. Only ten tracks too; you can forgive a twelve track album having three fillers but when a ten-tracker has five, it's a bit blah. I really did want to love this...

Only just got round to downloading this. It's ok, I like it better than 'Public Warning' I think, with Pennies being my favourite! :o

The intro is fantastic!

Will listen to this one when the album's released because I so love So Human and Nine2Five (also 9 to 5). :D

It's never my thing to rate a song 10 ;)

 

First listen:

08.8 Let's Be Mates

09.1 So Human

09.0 Jigsaw

08.2 Bang Bang

09.0 I Got You Dancing

08.0 Pennies

06.4 Guitar

07.7 Student Union

06.1 Food Play

07.1 I Got The Goods

 

Seriously impressed by the first track then the 2nd, then the 3rd. :D

Bang Bang have a potential to be amazing track tbh.

IGYD is the real deal to listen to.

Pennies = great

Guitar was average... Student Union is decent, reminds me of Hoodie from debut album a bit which I favoured the most.

Food Play is something I don't understand... worst track in the album too, but better than that Fiddle With The Volume song (:puke2:).

I Got The Goods was weird...

 

Overall... I'll say 8.2, better than the first album which I think it will be 7.9.
