Despite it being her fourth album, US singer/songwriter Britt Nicole's latest release is an eponymous one - a decision made to reflect the personal nature of the songs found within. Since the recording of 2013's well-received 'Gold' album, Nicole has found herself married and a mother twice over so, quite understandably, this is more of an autobiographical affair than perhaps previous releases. Presented with the first class pop sensibility that has become her trademark and strength, the likes of "All The Money" is an ode to her husband whilst "All Day" and "Pave" are dedicated to her kiddies - complete with well-meaning cutesy samples that become slightly annoying after a while. Matters of faith are reflected in the dance-tinged "Through Your Eyes" and the contemplative "After You" without being too specific whilst the throwaway "Girls Night Out" sees the songstress let her hair down. Arguably the album's standout track, the hugely relevant "No Filter" - a song which tells of the danger of couples putting up a front on social media when the relationship is in fact falling apart - showcases Nicole's innate ability to communicate modern issues with relevance and ease. Three additional tracks - "Concrete", "Heart Of Stone" and "Electric Love" - mark the difference between this deluxe edition and the bog standard one.
