She is indeed a credit to the United Kingdom, I think she has done herself and the public proud with this brilliant album, it fuses together folk, r'n'b, dance and hip hop, and it is pulled off very well.
There are a few songs where you feel that she hasnt been very adventurous, but it doesnt meen they arent good songs, they are stil very catchy and easy to listen to.
Most people would have heard the songs released off this album including Superstar, Thank You and See It In A Boys Eyes, the wonderful music child of Coldplays Chris Martin when he joined forces with Jamelia.
Now i will take you through the tracks and give you a bit of detail on each of them:

Superstar-This song is very catchy and very original, it has a catchy melody and great lyrics and was one of the biggest hits of last year. I think that this is one of the best songs on the album.

Thank You-Jamelia said this was her favourite track on the album and its hard to disagree, it is so brilliant with its emotional content and catchy melodic content, she has outdone herself.

DJ- A great tune for dancing too, it fits well with the rest of the album and is a very good r'n'b track.

See It On A Boys Eyes-This track is my favourite, it has no flaws. It is the collaboration of Chris Martin and Jamelia and is wonderful and different. It has Chris's Folk infulences and Jamelias r'n'b to make it truly unique with its strong piano line and its wonderful lyrics!

Taxi-This isnt one of the best songs on the album, but its still good as a Jamelia song and adds variety to the mix of tracks in this collection.

Dirty Dirty-This is one of the catchiest songs, not one of the best, but its still good. It just shows Jamelias variety.

Club Hoppin-This is another one of the best on the album and it has great rapping on it from Bubba Sparxxx which makes it another unique Jamelia track.

Cutie-This song is a lot like songs by other r'n'b artists including Kanye West and others who i cant think of, sorry, but it is very catchy and would do well as a release with its catchy chorus.

Bounce-I like this song also as it is a floor filler and is very catchy and interesting, i really like it!

Bout-Another individual and wonderful track. It was actually the first release off the album but it didnt do very well, so everyone remembers Superstar instead, but this song would do well on a re-release i think, with its catchy trumpet line and its rap from Rah Digga.

Off Da Endz-This song is another good one, add it to the list lol, not to everyones taste but i like it, it also features Asher D.

B..I.T.C.H.-This song is catchy as one of the "filler" songs, but its still good and if you are a Jamelia fan you will love it.

Life-There are 2 bonus tracks on this album which are magnificent, this is one and it is full of vengeance and i love it, its wonderful and a totally different side of Jamelia!

Antidote-The last track on the album and its another one of my favourites, its beautifully writtena dn very melodic and catchy, i really love it, Jamelia rules!

This album is great for a party of a social gathering, its really good and catchy and you wont be able to turn it off!
You can purchase this CD from Play.com for £8.99 and that is great value!
Also the album book features lyrics and great pics of Jamelia, this is one great package!
I suggest you all buy it, its a great addition to any CD collection, and its better than Jamelias first album, she is a true star!
