Releasing on New Year's Day was certainly a very bold move for a newcomer with only one hit. So few critics have reviewed this album and no one seems aware that it exists. It's a shame it might end up overlooked as it's one of the better pop albums kicking around right now. Not the best but hey, I've found that whatever I rate a piece of music, the majority rate it 1-1.5 stars higher, so if I think it's worth 3.5/5, a lot of people might think it's worth 4 or more, especially pop fans. Sweet, uplifting songs abound in this album. Rachel may not have the best voice but at least she doesn't strain for notes she can't reach. If you like pop to be sweet, traditional and non controversial, this is the ideal pop album for you.

Best tracks - Stand By You, Hey Hey Hallelujah, Fight Song, Better Place, Lone Ranger, Angels In Chelsea, Astronauts, Congratulations

Worst tracks - Beating Me Up

Just a suggestion if you're looking for albums to listen to until your faves release new work. We're always starving for new pop albums around here, right?

It wasn't too horrible.  I went into it thinking it was going to be hella basic.  But it was only a little basic.  Not bad. 3/5

I don't know why i don't like her, but I don't. Maybe cuz she comes off as a basic white girl and I don't like my pop divas that way. Bring me something special girl!

I LOVE the verses of fight song... But that chorus.

 

Ill still give it a listen cause I only base my opinion of her off one song.

Currently listening to Joanne

She currently has two songs in the US itunes top 10, I'm sure her album will do fine if she keeps her promo going. 

Will listen now and see if it's worth a second listen :D

Ngl, Fight Song was really cheesy and boring af, but Stand By You is truly a knock off. Been boping to it recently. I love the album!

I think shes just the definition of basic :emma: Her voice is bland, her music is too, its not really bringing anything to the table, and its not expanding on or capitalizing on the fact that its pretty run of the mill. Stand By You is okay, but kind of like Fight Song, the chorus is very weak to me.

There are plenty of artists that make good "basic" music, but I don't think shes one of them :duck:
