No appreciation!!!!

Review Score: (8/10)
Basically i think a lot of people who are dubbing this album in terms of it being poor or not as good as the previous release from this extremely talented artist are perhaps blinded by commercialism, i understand that some of the songs are not as initially catchy as her previous debut, yet this is not to be diffrentiated with as being poor only an avid fan of music or a musician in their own right can appreciate the depth and quality of this artist and of the talent that is so clearly displayed in this album.
It is beautifully laid out and i only wish that other artists such as alicia keys would wipe out the talentless artists that continue to dominate the charts... cough cough the cheeky girls WTF!!!!
HARLEMS NOCTURNE is stunning i hope her following album explores her talent as a pianist even further!!!!
she is amazing NUFF LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!
