The beat hits hard, together with "don't let me down" my favourite track of her album.

This one is getting a lot of Janet comparisons. "Locked In Closets". Another jam.

This 1 minute 31 second track segues right into "Bad Girls", almost as if they're one song...

TBH it sounds like something straight out of '95 and the production seems cheap/sub-par.

HOWEVER, I do like it.

I don't think it sounds like the 90's , it's very 'new' to me. The very minimalistic approach, there's usually only a beat and some light keyboards, it works very well. Her voice isn't that strong and i'm glad with that, at least there are no vocal ad lips or screaming.

It's a bit like Janet, her voice becomes one with the beat instead of oversinging it.

On second thought, maybe it's 90's influecend. "Some things never seem to fucking work" has a very 80's vibe by the way, but still, it's sound fresh and new to me.

I don't understand the album is hardly selling, but I guess people like Britney saying "bitch" more.

It's a shame DJs would rather flood the airwaves with crap than promote good music.

This EP beats the hell out of anything I've ever heard from her dear sister.
