This album took a long time to grow on me but once it did it just got stuck in my head. The infectious beats of almost every single song on this release is what really makes this album work wonders. This is her second album by the British/Sirilankan singer after the Mercury prize nominated 'Arular' and just like that one was praised to death I'm sure that this one will not only be praised but received well and probably generate some hit singles for her judging by the already huge reception of it on the digital charts. The album is filled with club bangers that will make you just want to get up and move to the stomping beats, I particularly love the song 'Boyz' as well as the new single 'Jimmy' with it's disco flavored sound.
She's very original and unique, a bit tacky though and I think she might have really bad taste judging by the artwork of the album (which is one of the worst I've seen in years to be completely honest) and the very cheesy colorful music videos but who cares, at least the music is fantastic.
