Full review

This young North American star has so much potential and star power. Her writing and lyrical skills are evident from the start with her quirky takes on themes and her personal touch on every track. Unfortunately the neither the album or any of the singles sold well. The song 'Overdrive' was however featured on the 'Mean Girls' soundtrack and 'Lemon' was on the 'Thirteen' soundtrack.

The tracklisting is as follows:
1. Overdrive - The lead single and one of the standout tracks. Perfect summer anthem with guitar heavily featured. The fantastic chorus is one that you will almost certainly be singing along to.

2. I Like - Another song that was meant for single release. This is another standout! (personal favourite). The brilliant guitar and drums create the perfect setting for this teenage angst / love anthem which is certainly among the best.

3. Watching The Rain - A very original track with fast paced verses which display this young artists potential skill. It also features a good chorus.

4. Enchanted - A guitar driven love song! Yet again proving her lyrical ability!

5. Catch My Fall - A fast paced teen angst track but slightly more original than the other similar tracks out there.

6. Snowflakes - One of the slow tracks, backed by drums and strings.

7. Glow - Very retro sounding survival track. Another standout.

8. Teachin' Myself To Dream - Beautiful song with inspirational lyrics.

9. Vacation - Another angst track with the stereotype screaming chorus!

10. Original Skin - Another standout slow track with thoughtful lryics tackiling growing up. A grower and truly brilliant!

11. Lemon - Fitting for the film 'Thirteen' with its angst but slow and melodic.

12. Because I Can - Another track, but as the title track it doesnt seem to stand out. Almost as though she put the song on the album 'Because She Can'.

A very good first album and hopefully many more will follow!
