September 11, 200915 yr My ratings now I've heard them in full (after one listen): 'Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh)' 8 'Cry Me Out' 6 'Band Aid' 7 'Turn It Up' 10 <------- 4th single please! 'Boys & Girls' 10 'Gravity' 7 'My Love' 7 'Jack' 8 'Nothing Compares' 10 <------- Alot better as a "live" track though. 'Here We Go Again' 8 'The Way the World Works' 9 'Hold Me In Your Arms' 8 Overall not a bad debut at all. Some of the ballads though seem a bit bland. God knows why she's choosing 'Cry Me Out' as the ballad single when she has better, most notably 'Nothing Compares'. 'Here We Go Again' is boring me a bit, I still like it just not as much. 'Turn It Up' just NEEDS to be the next single! It has to be! Very decent album though. Perhaps a grower? I'm not disappointed, but i'm not as impressed as I thought i'd be :( Maybe I set my expectations a bit too high...
September 13, 200915 yr Could 'Turn It Up' and 'Here We Go Again' become singles? "I think so. 'Turn It Up' and 'Here We Go Again' are probably the most popular songs on places like MySpace. They've both had a really good response from the fans. I think maybe 'Turn It Up' could become the fourth single, but who knows?" http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a177013/pixie-lott.html I hope so! Turn It Up fourth and Here We Go Again fifth would be perfect IMO. :)
September 13, 200915 yr I'm surprised she's left a RedOne track on her album, hopefully it will be a single.
September 13, 200915 yr Good review from The Times. :) Pixie Lott: Turn It Up http://www.timesonline.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00136/rating_stars_4_136526a.gif A diminutive frame containing a giant voice, the Essex singer Pixie Lott is a throwback, not only in terms of the retro stylings that colour this debut album, but because of the old-fashioned approach to pop — as a product and a vehicle, immaculately put together, professionally packaged, showcasing a prize asset — that Turn It Up evinces. It is easy (and selective) to forget that many of the big pop talents of the 1960s we now cherish were finessed and teased into shape with a similar degree of calculation. And it would be equally easy to assess Lott’s debut as merely bandwagon-jumping: a major label seeing which way the commercial wind was blowing; an ambitious singer, adept at assimilating vocal traditions and mannerisms. Yet Lott refuses to play nice with this analysis. For one, her songs are far too strong to be dismissed as throwaway or facsimiles; for another, Lott herself is much more than an accessory. Rather, she occupies the album, her natural understanding of phrasing, dynamics and nuance meaning her identity is stamped everywhere. Bar two missteps (My Love and Nothing Compares), Turn It Up is superior, infectious, expertly tailored pop that, had it been recorded 30 or so years ago, would very likely now be being praised to the heavens in reissue sections. Her recent No 1 single, Mama Do, the skittish title track, the lovely pop-soul of The Way the World Works and, above all, the dreamy closer, Hold Me in Your Arms, signal a serious new vocal talent. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol...icle6827346.ece
September 13, 200915 yr could someone send me a link for the album please? I will buy it but I'm strapped for cash atm.
September 13, 200915 yr Still adore "Here We Go Again". On the album version of HWGO does anyone get a little fuzzy robotic sound that sounds like the song is buffering when she says "never wanna say wish I was there" for the last time at 2:30?

On the album version of HWGO does anyone get a little fuzzy robotic sound that sounds like the song is buffering when she says "never wanna say wish I was there" for the last time at 2:30? Yup, I think it's intentional for some reason. My physical album should be arriving tomorrow hopefully so I'll check on there if it's the same.
September 14, 200915 yr Album arrived this morning. I really like the booklet and pictures. And yes that stutter in Here We Go Again is on the album so it is intentional.
September 14, 200915 yr Author Album arrived this morning. I really like the booklet and pictures. And yes that stutter in Here We Go Again is on the album so it is intentional. The pictures on the back page are so funny! I love the 'X' that has served as a logo through this campaign! I put a link to listen to the album in full on YouTube on the first post if anyone wants to listen! :)
September 14, 200915 yr loving this album :D agree that Turn It Up should be a single, Here We Go Again, as good as it is, is a bit bandwagony and generic... I love Jack :lol: :wub:
September 15, 200915 yr First listen verdict so... (Spoilers if don't wanna bother reading my ratings :kink:) 8.5 / Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh) / The shizzle. :kink: 7.5 / Cry Me Out / Still not really onto this yet... (I liked the first line though "I got your e-mails, you just don't get females, now do you?") 8.2 / Band Aid / Reminds me of some of Natasha Bedingfield's stuff. 8.5 / Turn It Up / Good good. 9.0 / Boys And Girls / Got it going on and on :heehee: 8.2 / Gravity / No Air. No Air. :P 8.2 / My Love / Great. 7.8 / Jack / Bit weird. :lol: 8.2 / Nothing Compares / Better to be played live. :) 9.0 / Here We Go Again / Had grown properly of this now. 7.5 / The Way The World Works / Decent. 7.0 / Hold Me In Your Arms / Possibly the weakest in the album. 8.1 The last two tracks are decent at best. Not too memorable. Anyway, liking the album so far. Overall, no bad tracks at all. :yahoo: Edited September 15, 200915 yr by FM11
September 15, 200915 yr I'm gonna give this a listen whenever it appears on Spotify. This may seem like a ridiculous question, but I've been meaning to ask... is 'Nothing Compares' a Sinead O'Connor cover?
September 15, 200915 yr I'm listening to the little EP version on Spotify until I can buy the full album..
September 15, 200915 yr I'm listening to the little EP version on Spotify until I can buy the full album.. Same. A while ago, you can play it on full on We7. But now all of them are "preview-only" until 26th September (full again).
September 16, 200915 yr Dunno why but during Cry Me Out's chorus I keep going onto singing Michelle McManus's The Meaning Of Love :lol:
