    I'm sorry but this album aged like milk. She cannot top Dangerous Woman. She needs to reinvent her next album. I fear in her success if still continues like this.

    While I appreciate her voice range the squeacky, high pitched sound feels immature and unpolished, unlike Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston. Also, the entire feel of the album seems immature with teenage type of writing like "u" instead of "you".

I have never listened to an album that feels as much of a product as this album does it just feel like calculated sounds made solely for commercial success. The music meh.. the only song that I really liked was needy, because it's the only song that feels personal. But hearing how she was forced to put that on the album by her manager makes me sick.
    Artists need to take control over their art and put out what they feel passionate abou. Not what the music moguls force them to make for high commercial success.

    No entiendo simplemente como este álbum tan básico y plano pueda tener aclamación de "medios profesionales", la música es repetitiva, y el álbum está lleno de relleno, exceptuando los singles, que aunque es música pegadiza no le quita lo básico. Urge que los medios se laven los odios o quizá estén acostumbrados a música tan basura como para no darle un rojo a esto.

    [7 Rings] is a hit, but isn’t actually all that great, using Rodgers and Hammerstein’s My Favourite Things as its sing-song musical base. The rest of the album remains of interest for its evolutions in sound, delivery and attitude.
