    It's evident that Arie's in a good place, both creatively and personally, yet SongVersation is not about self-satisfaction. She has no trouble bringing her listeners along.

    She keeps her sentiments tuneful and directs most of the self-help advice at herself, staying sisterly rather than preachy.

    Musically, she remains a sophisticated, confident formalist, but a sense of playfulness or adventure is missing.

    Arie is pretty upbeat about love on this album, but when describing her feelings, she falls back too much on stock, recycled phrases.
