Honestly I am impressed with this debut. Like Shakira's it benefits from its cute outdatedness - this screams early 2000's all over the place, but especially on 1-3 and 6-7. It is also quite diverse too, boasting diverse beats stemming from reggae/dub on 2 and 4, to rhythmic changes on 6, to other interesting things like on 3 (I lost track after that). With the exception of the album closer which is frankly long and annoying and brings the record down a point, 5, and maybe 10 where the guest is a bit annoying, this does not have any bad track really. 4 is the first track to not entertain actually. 9 is really fun and may even be a jam. Other high points are 3,6 and 8. Not much else I'll come back to, but a much richer, nicer and less annoying record than I anticipated. 2.8
