This album is great from start to finish. The songs range from emotional tear jerkers ie Fallin to feel good songs such as Rock Wit You and A Woman's Worth. There are amazing lyrics throughout the album. The combination of the wonderful lyrics, excellent melodies and enchanting vocals of Alicia adds up to make an album that is well worth listening to! The downfall of the album is that the first time you listen to it, you can switch off half way through due to short attention spans and lengthy songs and not get to the end of the album to listen to some of the better songs. This album can take a few listenings for you to appreciate the value of this album. Goodbye and Never Felt This Way contribute to excellent songs and the duet Mr Man with Jimmy Cozier is a great track aswell. The remix of Fallin is just as good as the original although with a more up beat tempo, Busta Rhymes helps this song to be more feel good and is a great alternative. Alicia does the songs justice and gives her own style on a lot of the songs. The length of the album is just right, if not perhaps too long. Well worth your money and is a comfort for all occasions! Alicia has soul!
