    E um ano depois de lançado eu continuo aqui ouvindo as músicas ainda como novas e descobrindo outros tesouros desse álbum. Pode causar estranheza para quem amou o anterior, "Hero", mas a Maren com ótimas letras e interpretações continua lá, não se espante com a camada de mais instrumentos por cima.

    Dei 10 só para balancear a nota, várias pessoas revoltadas só porque não é um álbum inteiramente country, O disco tem country, r&b, dance e pop muito misturados, o problema nem foi essa mistura, mas sim a decepção se compararmos com o potencial da Mare.

    While comparisons are obviously going to be made to Maren's first album Hero, I find this album to be better, more refined sound and production. If you embrace Maren's pop-country styling, there is a lot to like here. Several tracks like The Feels, Common, and Gold Love lean toward adult contemporary. Tracks like RSVP & The Bones have a R&B flavor, while GIRL and All My Favorite PeopleWhile comparisons are obviously going to be made to Maren's first album Hero, I find this album to be better, more refined sound and production.

Tracks like RSVP & The Bones have a R&B flavor, while GIRL and All My Favorite People lean towards a more guitar heavy/pop-rock sound. While there may be a lack of a defining theme running throughout, the album as a whole is very good. There is a little something for everyone, and while first listen may tend to throw listeners off while trying to it compare to Hero, after a second or third listen, many of the tracks start to shine.… Expand

    Álbum versátil com vocais dignos de uma artista versátil. Maren não perdeu o Grammy, o Grammy a perdeu. Kisses

    Such a fun second album. I would say it is on par with her first album, HERO. This shows a lot of growth from the first one but also kept a lot of the country-rock sound that I really love in the first album. Good Woman is a really great song that reminds me a lot of John Mayer. Fun songs like Flavor and The Feels are very catchy. Common is a great empowering song.

    Critics be damned. Ms. Morris is my new superhero! She's a unique talent. Creative melodies, personalized phrasing, thoughtful lyrics, and downright sassy. She has earned the recognition she has been receiving. I can't wait to hear what she puts out in the future.

    It's country-pop. Reading whatever the critics are saying about the genre of the album is making me laugh pretty hard. It's a great record, worth listening, even the filler songs are very well written. Even if you're not into it, you will love at least a few amazing songs like to hell & back or good woman.

A great body of work, not as strong as her debut, but she's taking over her sound and she might be the next country singer transitioning to pop, maybe that's why she sounds pop-ish?

    The best songs on “Hero” were disarmingly detailed, and sometimes funny. “Girl,” however, tips away from those strengths in favor of self-help bromides broad enough to exclude no one.

    Taken as a whole, it’s hard to imagine the audience who enjoys every corner of this album. It’s even harder to imagine the artist Morris really wants to be.

    Girl is every bit as much a country album as her 2016 debut, “Hero.”
