Review: Zara Larsson - So Good Album.

Hello, hi and welcome! 

So, I don't know if you're aware or not but Zara Larsson released her album 'So Good' today. I listened to it to and from work and I have to say I've loved every single song on it. 

I thought I'd give you a little breakdown of what I think of each song on it. 

WHAT THEY SAY.

This song is perfect to start the album off. It's uplifting and great to drive along to!

Favourite Lyrics: "They don't believe in you like I believe in you any way."

LUSH LIFE.

I've loved this song ever since it came out. It always reminds me of dance class in Berlin, my teacher there always played it to warm up to.

Favourite Lyrics: "No tricks, no bluff I'm just better off without them cuffs."

I WOULD LIKE.

Another song I've been loving up until now. Me and my dad took ages searching on Spotify for the original version of this song - turns out there isn't an original, but she did take the 'i would like to get to know you baby' from Sasha's 'Dat Sexy Body' (go have a listen and you'll see what I mean). 

Favourite Lyrics: "I can't help myself its human nature, human nature. Whose to say what's meant to be?" 

SO GOOD ft TY DOLLA $IGN.

Probably one of my favourite songs of hers ever. It's so chill and feel good, I know I'm going to be blasting this in my car in the summer. 

Favourite Lyrics: "Stuck on it 'cause my loves so good so you keep coming back to get some more." 

TG4M.

I remember when I first heard this when I was driving and I was like 'yaaaas'. I turned it up and tapped along to it. 

Favourite Lyrics: "You're too good for me but I want, I want you any way."

ONLY YOU.

I like this song but not as much as other songs on her album. Her voice reminds me of Bridget Mendler in this song. 

Favourite Lyrics: "I can't love no body like I love myself, only you."

NEVER FORGET YOU ft MNEK.

I remember when I first heard this song, I had it on repeat - I was obsessed. I'm sure it was in my monthly favourites for like five months in a row. I still sing along with everything I have when I hear it. 

Favourite Lyrics: "I wonder what would happen if we went back and put up a fight." 

SUNDOWN ft WIZKID.

I love this song so much. I love the backing track, her voice, everything. This song is definitely one for the summer.

Favourite Lyrics: "So can we love now? 'Cause I don't wanna wait until sun down." 

DON'T LET ME BE YOURS.

I really like this song. I feel like I'm saying this about every song, but there isn't a song I dislike on this album. This song is a little different to the others, it's quite deep and honest without being too dramatic. 

Favourite Lyrics: "You think you know me, but you can see my lonely heart."

MAKE THAT MONEY GIRL.

This song just makes you want to scream YAS. This is like an anthem for women, it's a solid favourite of mine. 

Favourite Lyrics: "You know that you're one in a million, so make that million."

AIN'T MY FAULT.

When she first released this I wasn't too sure, but that quickly changed and I'm sure I played this for like the whole of December - no joke. The drop is just perfection. I also want her boots in the music video.

Favourite Lyrics: "It ain't my fault you came here looking like that, you just made me trip, fall and land in your lap."

ONE MISSISSIPPI.

Another favourite of mine, I feel like I can relate to this song which is probably why I really love it. 

Favourite Lyrics: "Three Mississippi you're gone, saying you don't even want it no more." 

FUNERAL.

I thought this would be a lot more sad than it is - I'm not disappointed, I just assumed because of the title. Another song I relate to and really like, I dance along to this in the car too. 

Favourite Lyrics: "I wished you everything you ever wanted in your life, this tastes so bittersweet it's like I'm going under."

I CAN'T FALL IN LOVE WITHOUT YOU.

This is quite a slow one which really shows off her voice, it's not got a lot of production behind it. 

Favourite Lyrics: "I feel so happy, so happy that I'm free. And I can see things, things I couldn't see."

Favourite Song(s):

• One Mississippi
• TG4M
• Ain't My Fault
• Sundown
• Make That Money Girl

Least Favourite Song(s):

• Only You

Rating /10:

10/10. There is no particular song on the album that I've skipped. I think the only reason I don't love Only You yet is because I need to warm up to it still. I love this album and I know I'm going to be playing it for a long time. 

Thanks for reading!

Little Mix - Glory Days Album Review

Hello, hi and welcome! I've been so excited for the new Little Mix album, mainly because I'll be seeing them three times next years so I wanted the album to be amazing!

Let's just get straight into the review shall we?

 

SHOUT OUT TO MY EX.

The perfect middle finger to that ex who hurt you. It's full of girl power, indirects and "oh, oh, oh's".

Favourite Lyrics: "Hey look at me now, well I'm all the way up I swear you'll never bring me down."

 

TOUCH.

I wasn't sure if I liked this song which you'll find I feel the same throughout the album, but its really grown on me and I can imagine this will be the first song on when I'm getting ready to go out or when Becky and I go on a car trip.

Favourite Lyrics: "Just a touch of your love is enough to knock me off of my feet."

 

F.U.

Love this when I'm walking to work I feel like saying F.U to everyone after I listen to this(I don't) but it makes you feel energised which is what everyone needs.

Favourite Lyrics: "I wanna say 'shoo,shoo' I wanna say 'screw you'."

 

OOPS Ft Charlie Puth.

I really love this song, the second I heard this I knew I was going to love it, its just got that vibe. It makes me really happy when I sing along, its just so uplifting.

Favourite Lyrics: "We had a good run, we messed around and had some good fun, guess it turns out I lost a good one."

 

YOU GOTTA NOT.

I've liked this for a while as they released it early. This is super pop, fiery and damn right cool and i like where they're taking their music, this song is quite different to what they've done before.

Favourite Lyrics: "And everybody warned me, you gotta not. But you're kinda hot so I thought why not, oh well."

 

DOWN AND DIRTY.

I'm sorry but the beginning to this sounds just like Black Widow by Iggy Azalea. Not a favourite at all and it makes me so sad. I don't think it suits the album, I don't think it sounds like them or their image and its not really a very good song. Sorry girls..

 

POWER.

I wasn't sure if I was going to love this or loathe it but I really love it! It makes me want to go out and buy a motorbike and just drive around singing this. I like Jesy rapping I think she does a better job than Leigh-Anne(sorry not sorry).

Favourite Lyrics: "You make it rain, but I make it, I make it, I make it shower. You should know I'm the one who got the power."

 

YOUR LOVE.

Their voices sound incredible on this song, I love the backing track too. It's a really relaxing song to chill to as well. Favourite definitely.

Favourite Lyrics: "Come and kiss me on the moonlight."

 

NOBODY LIKE YOU.

I like this song but I feel there's something missing from it somewhere, I'm just not of sure what. Their voices sound strong and the harmonies are on point!

Favourite Lyrics: "I tried goodbye a hundred times not one of them true."

 

NO MORE SAD SONGS.

This is the perfect song for someone going through a break up or has a broken heart at the minute, its kind of like the song you'd want to hear when experiencing it. I really like it.

Favourite Lyrics: "I keep trying to put this behind me, I still wanna know, whose taking you home."

 

PRIVATE SHOW.

The beginning of this reminds me of JLO - Get Right..anyone else?? It's quite 90's RnB driven. Not a favourite, but still extremely funky.

Favourite Lyrics: "To get high you gotta get low."

 

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

I'm not sure still if I like this i think I need a little bit more time with it, its neither here nor there for me.

 

BEEP BEEP.

This song is totally random, I don't think it suits the album or their image really. It's more like a song from Grease than a girl band in 2016..

 

FREAK.

This song is like the older sister to DNA or Lightening, a continuation. It's alright, but it doesn't jump out.

Favourite Lyrics: "Listen to me this is critical, you don't want to unleash this animal."

 

FAVOURITE SONGS:

- Shout Out To My Ex

- Touch

- OOPS

- You Gotta Not

- Power

 

LEAST FAVOURITE SONGS:

- Down & Dirty

- Private Show

- Beep Beep

- Freak
