First off, I'd like to say this is by no means her best album {I personally think "Back to Basics" is her best} however, It's not a bad album. It's very different from her previous efforts & I honestly think she pulled off this new sound quite nicely. I will be reviewing the tracks that I think are the strongest & will highlight the true intention behind the album. On to the music ...
"Bionic" is the title song & IMO should have been the lead single. A much better choice than "Not Myself Tonight" this honestly sums up the whole purpose of the album. It's about thinking outside the box & allowing yourself to accept change "Just let it go, get it up, allow yourself to transform"
"Elastic Love" This song could easily be a single as well. It has such a cool electric sound & I think this would murder the club scene. It's about having a lover who wants you one moment then tries to act like he's not interested the next "A rubber band is what I call your love for me Cause it comes and goes and pins me like a trampoline" I think everyone can relate to this & the infectious beat makes you want to dance all night! A sure fire summer anthem!
"Desnudate" I love this song! This song is her trying to please her lover to the fullest extent. She's not here to play any games she's trying to do the damn thing!
"What's your indulgence, tell me what's your vice Do you like it naughty, do you like it nice I'm your suplier of lust, love and fire tonight All you desire is yours if the asking is right so ..." this song can get you in trouble on the dance floor too!
"Glam" I love this song.
it reminds me of when I used to club & my friends & I would spend all this time getting ready to go out on the town & just kick it. It has a very cool beat that keeps you moving. A friend of mine has already played this in a modeling show she walked in. It has that kind of vibe to it love this song!
"Prima Donna" This song is a strong track as well. I think this is kind of a b***h slap to everyone who has a problem w/ her attitude. It's like saying "yes, I'm a prima donna. And ?" She doesn't care what anyone thinks of her she's still going to do her. I love what this song stands for.
"Morning Dessert/ Sex For Breakfast" I love "Morning Dessert" it's just an interlude to set you up for "SFB" but I think it should have been a whole track. It reminds me of Justin Timberlake's "Set The Mood" Interlude right before "Until The End Of Time". "Sex For Breakfast" is very self explanatory It's talks about a morning delight. Everyone loves those
"I Am" I LOVE this song. This is by far my favorite song on the record. It was written by singer/songwriter Sia & it talks about the joys of her finally being loved for exactly who she is. I would love for this to be a single b/c I think everyone who has found that person would definately relate!
"You Lost Me" This song talks about how a lover cheats & she tells him I hope she is worth it? I hope she is worth losing everything we had just b/c you couldn't control your urges & keep your hands to yourself. It's a beautiful song & it was beautifully sung.
"Bobblehead" This is a fun song that's pretty much poking fun at valley girls who are obsessed w/ using how they look to get ahead instead of their brains I think this song is fun & could be a semi-hit
"Birds of Prey" it's my third fave song from the record. I love the electronic sound I could see this song slaying the rave scene. It has a cool sound to it & she sings it in a subtle, smooth way in her signature warm tone.
over all I love the record. It's sad that she is getting so much flack for "swagger jacking" when all she is doing is staying current. It's a really good CD & could potentially do well if she chooses the right singles. Give it a listen. I think you will find you like it more than you think !!!!
