I disagree, this is not an ‘OKAY’ album! It’s mere degradation, which is sad! Unfortunately her last album is too pop-driven. I guess she will hardly ever outshine her previous albums. From an inspiring country/rock’n’roll young artist she has become a ‘slightly grown-up Taylor Swift’ to my disappointment! I’m not from the US, but to my humble taste in music, when I first came across the country music, Miranda stroke me as someone who was able to blend traditional country with a fine classic rock bit. That’s what I still appreciate, and therefore I still love listening to her previous tracks. But no the ‘Four the record’! What a title! I guess when artists choose such a title for their records (like “Play on”, album 6, etc.), it merely indicates the decline of creativity and a everlasting necessity to earn money. Her previous albums showed energy, dash, a unique style, though less popularity. Now I can see that to be on top of popularity and financial success one strongly needs to be mainstream. And as always every artists goes pop one day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
