    The overall impression is of a super-slick exercise in generic, glossy, team-built, uber-commercial RnB-pop. Still, Anne-Marie has the kind of voice and presence that could make anybody’s day better.

    The resulting project is dimmed down and diluted.

    The title track promises much but only plays lip service to emotional soul-baring, while Ed Sheeran’s lyrical motifs dominate Beautiful’s cloying attempts at self-empowerment. A missed opportunity to let a star shine.

Each song provides something so new yet authentic to Anne-Marie. Speak Your Mind was such a moment in late 2010s music and now the second album has definitely lived up to it's predecessor. The opening track 'x2', I could see going viral on TikTok and causing it to become a single because the lyrics are wry but genius, about reclaiming your narrative against those who did you wrong. Kiss My (Uh-Oh), is easily the song of the summer (even if Jesy is no longer in Little Mix - still waiting for that debut). Breathing is the best song on the album, because it sounds like a breath of fresh air. It's calming and therapeutic. Better Not Together is probably Anne-Marie's most thought provoking singles because it almost turns the break up song archetype on it's head where break ups can be mutual. Either way, this album solidifies Anne-Marie's position as a British Music Icon.… Full Review »
