The ridiculously delicious opening cut "Revolution" tweaked my interest huge. The album unfolds as a fairly paint by numbers dance record for the most part. It doesn't have enough good material to rival the overrated and over hyped Lady GaGa record. Sophie is very much trying to walk in the shoes of Robyn and GaGa with her 2011 record. The songs aren't as good as Robyn's material from the E.P. releases of last year. What she does achieve is an album that should finally make her a successful artist in the mainstream dance clubs of North America.
The excellent club tune "Not Giving Up On Love" could be her moment as far as dance chart success goes. Another of the better tunes is "Can't Fight This Feeling" that harkens melodies from early era New Order. It's wrapped up in a very 1977 disco flavor but if you listen close you can find its heart pulsing along to that New Order groove. There is nothing on this album after the opener of great interest but for the dance kids out there and girls who like vanilla house music this will suit their undeveloped musical tastes just fine.
