    Blessed with little of the showiness affectations of the X-Factor/American Idol generation, she can sell a song and inject it with age-appropriate enthusiasm that sustains her through the moments when Turn It Up glides by on its surface, while making the album--at its best--pretty damn infectious, too.
  2. It is a rarity: a proper album, from a proper pop star.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Just as I was looking through my album collection, I came across a pearl from my childhood, i.e. Turn It Up. It's a shame that her career never took off outside of the UK, because this album has some very respectable tracks. Boys & Girls is one of those few timeless pop tracks that can be enjoyed for generations.
