's strongest tracks are such a mixed-bag -- the -spinoff 'Read All About It (Part III)' is a raw interpretation of the massive pop single, 'Lifetime' is a midtempo love song that's as engaging as a close listen as it is late at night, and the electrifying first single 'Heaven' has all the makings of a vibrant dance record slicked up for the floor. A true feature of this album is the sheer quality of the compositions, which, for lack of a better term, are unexpectedly sophisticated and nuanced for a mainstream record.

What holds the album back in parts is the fact that its tempo is too slow at times, however, makes up for it with passion and precision. Is an earnest collection of works by a woman who is as good a composer as she is vocalist, a lethal combination in today's pop music business. In this case, the Critic's Choice Award was well deserved.
