Ten is where Gabriella Cilmi needed to go after her punchy debut. It will prove as a stepping stone to bigger and better things, naturally, but is still a record that's plagued by incoherent poppy-electronic songwriting that sits awkwardly alogside her voice. Sometimes the crunchy elements blend well together like during "On a Mission" and "Hearts Don't Lie", but the rest requires a little too much forced tolerance.
