Prisilla Renea is the cutest little hipster singer-songwriter with mocha-almond skin and a double
mint smile since...well ever. A few years ago she was a teenager belting songs in her room and
uploading them to youtube. Her talent and vocal chops landed her a deal and flashforward she's
releasing her debut record for the world. I liked for her quirky personality and cutesy videos
but after listening to this album I must give her some sincere props as a vocalist and songwriter.
This is a solid debut record.
'Dollhouse' is the insanely catchy first single from this album with an equally adorable video.
'Lovesick' is a potential single as well, very poppy and catchy (well written too).
'Pretty Girl' a record about self esteem that tugged my heartstrings a little (because
we all have a little insecure teenage girl inside of us). 'Baby Please' is mid tempo ballad
about a bad break-up; unrequited love sucks. 'Rockabye Baby' almost songs like a show
tune to me, it's about unprotected teenage sex and unplanned pregnancy--- It's pretty
clever you have to listen to it. She uses several nursery rhyme and storybook characters
to tell the narrative. 'Bacon & Eggs' is about the "give and take" of relationships, not
my personal favorite song. It's not as progressive as the others. 'Mr. Workabee' is about
a workaholic boyfriend, it's cool. If you're not listening it sounds like a song from Barney
& Friends (that could be a good or bad thing). 'Stonegarden' is a beautiful ballad
about loneliness (my 2nd favorite track from the record). 'City Love' chronicles a relationship
that's moving too fast. 'Fixing My Hair' (my favorite song from the record) is a love song.
This album is made for young lovers. It's gentle, all of the tracks have a soft plush feel to them.
I'm very impressed. She makes music that is a reflection of her it seems. This record didn't
have any filler tracks, it followed the same trend throughout and there was cohesion.
I like Priscilla Renea, I give this album a B+.
