    A solidly enjoyable, radio-ready pop album.

    When off-kilter beats collide with impeccable harmonies and pleasingly daft lyrics, it sounds like pop as it should be, and their gamble in borrowing De La Soul's Ring Ring Ring refrain for How Ya Doin comes good. The ballads, however, plod along with heavy-handed emotion.

    Such an efficient compendium of current pop influences is a little underwhelmng; nothing here sets out to redefine the girl group sound.

    With placid, feline production, tight harmonies and breezy beats, much of DNA ambles along the well-trodden path of the temperate demi-ballad. But it's the ventures away from this that prove Little Mix function far better either side of mid-tempo.

    The main duty of pop is to be catchy, and it's a duty which DNA mostly shirks miserably.

    This album is horrible.
    Most of the music is no good and the vocals that appear are the more Perrie.
    Salute to improve on them a bit, but in    This album is horrible.

    Salute to improve on them a bit, but in the DNA they were horrible, unique vocals that were saving were the Perrie and Jade (RIP Leigh and Jesy).
    One of the only good songs is Turn Your Face.    … Full Review »

    The music market is full of boy-bands and male vocalist, so female great vocalist, but what about a girl-group? There are none of them sinceThe music market is full of boy-bands and male vocalist, so female great vocalist, but what about a girl-group? There are none of them since Spice Girls. And finally a group appeared, make a strong impact in UK and then win The X-Factor one of the most important worldwide reality show. After that, they came with this album that totally contrast her Winner's Single "Cannonball" and really changed the way we saw a girl-group. 4 Vocalist, totally different in their own way, same as a group, and bring us a pop-catchy, non boring and full of good beats, lyrics with content and out of the bad image a star can show, unique style and also the 4 girls are beautiful without any surgery? C' me on, we have a really NICE group in way to become a huge success, and it won't come by the fact of a relationship with a one direction member, oh no! After it, everybody check what this girls sing and i can tell, more than one gets impacted by their AWESOME vocals. Tracks to be consider: The whole album
    Tracks to check out as a possible single: Madhouse, Pretend It's Ok, Stereo Soldier, Red Planet.    … Full Review »
