Critical Evaluation: This popular singer/songwriter is popular for a reason. The tracks are catchy, well written and all have good hooks. Teen and tween girls likely will relate to the lyrics of many of the songs and they cover some pretty universal teen themes - boys, broken hearts, family etc. Some of the songs are certainly stronger than others, but overall, the album will be enjoyed by its target audience.
