Nicola Roberts - Cinderella's Eyes

[Agnetha]

FINALLY giving this listen... It really is rather SPIFFING!

[Diddy]

Have we all heard/seen the acoustic version of Yo-Yo?

I think I actually prefer it to the album version - BEAUTIFUL

THIS is amazing.

The whole THING is amazing! (well not all of it, but allow me an overreaction)

09 Beat of my drum
10 Lucky Day

08 Take a bite
07 Sticks & Stones

[VoR]

Amazingly this project is not quite dead yet. She's tweeted about going into a video meeting for Yo Yo today. Apparently she's written her own script for it.

Whether that means she'll be shooting it herself on her Iphone is UNCONFIRMED.

I cannot get over the Yo Yo acoustic version, I really can't. Utterly gorgeous and I love the manic/stalker-ish not in her delivery.

[Pipo]

GOOD
More PERFS lined up please

[monsta]

She's on Alan Titchmarsh tomorrow performing Yo-Yo.

ALL THE A-LIST BOOKINGS

[octophone]

Is this cheap anywhere yet? I'm expecting it to be a fiver or less after Xmas...

[Johnkm]

It's £3.99 on Amazon this week for anyone who hasn't grabbed it yet. I'm still waiting for the CD to go cheap though like Octophone, hopefully that won't be too long.

[POP!]

Still loving this album, "Say It Out Loud" is probably among my top ten songs of 2011 so far (and an excellent workout track at that, especially the instrumental spazz-out bit )

[FetchFugly]

Definitely one of my favourite albums of the year. I do always find myself skipping BOMD and I is still a bit meh though:

06 Beat of My Drum
08 Lucky Day
09 Yo-Yo
09 Cinderella's Eyes
10 Porcelain Heart
05 I
08 Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime
09 Say It Out Loud
09 Gladiator
07 Fish Out of Water
08 Take A Bite
08 Sticks + Stones

[Pipo]

I just "GOT" Lucky Day about a month ago shame it FLOPPED everywhere

It's so Dragonette I LOVE IT

[VoR]

Named the 38th best album of 2011 in The Guardian's year-end top 50.

[POP!]

The impending GA semi-comeback has reminded me of this and the fact that I haven't listened to it in what seems like ages. I'll have to give it a spin later to see if that's my mistake or if it just hasn't endured too well already

[straightorbroken]

I gave this a SIX? I forget how much I found so much of it unlistenable initially.

The beard picture on page one is remarkable. What a FASHIONISTA.

04 Beat of My Drum

10 Cinderella's Eyes
10 Porcelain Heart

The peaks are flying above the clouds, and I'm really giving her the benefit of the doubt with those vocals (think Liza recording a voicemail going down a ski slope) and occaisional iffy lyric about being a self-conscious ginge growing up in Cherly's spotlight, etc. There's no denying how strong the good stuff really is though.

And for what it's worth:

11 Memory of You (imagine if lightning struck twice for The Beloved, or New Order at the peak of their stark-pop powers, and THIS is the Nicola I want for the next album, the vocal is exquisite).
