It's okay. I don't find it to be terrific, but it's not awful, either. Definitely a grower... That said, I hope Ms. Grant hangs up the "Lana" persona after this era and moves on.

Why?

It's her most fertile artistic idea.

She just has to shift the focus of her gloom from relationships.

Then again it all depends on how entrenched the "Lana" persona is in relation to doomed romance. It might be almost all of it.

She is the musical equivalent of watching paint dry with a hot producer and some keen new take on a cliche. Her marketing is sketchy and transparent, borderline hilarious. Even her Wikipedia skitters over her silver spoon, press makes it sound like she was some sort of lone traveler living off of dumpster sandwiches moving from borough to borough like a gypsy. Only on some actual fan wiki did it really explain daddy and that had to have been reviewed. I wonder if the age of the solo "artist" may be ending soon and bands/groups start coming back because alot of the new shows these money machines are just dull. Bands are the logical solution right? I am loving Miss Sharon Jones lately I heard they are dropping a holiday album soon. She has a band. Didn't some chickie put out a song called Cool In The Summer? Some exec's assistant must be reading those articles about not having a hit summer song.

You mean whoever the producer is who made Demi Lovato sound like Katy Perry?

I just feel it has become tired. Like there's really nothing else to say.

And this is coming from someone who is quite the fan of her past work!

Making me feel idjetly (new word stoned). But on topic, even the Cola song = yawn. Striking beauty though lurking.

For all time I am with you, you are with me.

The ominous paparazzi helicopter.

The spacious, empty Malibu pad.

The guitar case buried under the rocks.

The space-age assault weapon.

The mysterious, washed away letter lying on the beach.

I love it!
