Blast from the past meets pop drop beats?
Yes, please.
Anne-Marie’s debut studio album, Speak Your Mind, offers refreshing pop.
With 17 tracks, the album is longer than an average long play studio album.
More music to love.
Here’s a track-by-track review:
(1.) Cry
Bass, beats and bold song. Because forget the tears.
(2.) Ciao Adios
Fast-tempo and upbeat. Confident. Catchy. Fun break up number.
(3.) Alarm
(4.) Trigger
(5.) Then
(6.) Perfect
Female empowerment for the win. Because obsessing with perfection is overrated.
(7.) Friends
(8.) Bad Girlfriend
(9.) Heavy
(10.) 2002
Sweet. Playful. Acoustic guitar guides the vocal line and song as Anne-Marie takes us on a trip down memory lane for her first kiss.
(11.) Can I get your number
Mid-tempo dance jam. Happy and cute.
Dystopian-esque number with a mid-tempo beat. Because sometimes, we need to forget the feelings….if only.
(13.) Breathing Fire
Breathing Fire?
Slow and sentimental. A nice slow jam. Go with the flow jam.
Used to Love You is one of my latest musical obsessions. Can’t the melody out of my head.
Lyrics dive in to a story. Love how the first verse lyrics open the song: “Do I make you nervous / When I look in your eyes?”
Catchy vocal line.
And then there’s the bass line.
(16.) Peak
Tender ballad. Not the catchiest melody, but beautiful song. Featuring piano and strings to back Anne-Marie’s voice.
(17.) Rockabye
Upbeat story about a single mom focusing on her child.
Beautiful fusion of lullaby lyrics quoted into a pop song.
