Customer Reviews

Fab, far more than just 1 hit song - By: Chris, 19 Nov 2008
We brought this albumn after hearing the Sure advert song, Upside Down, & were very impressed with the whole albumn. The second half of it for me is the best.
Would defintiely recommend this & look forward to future albumns by Gabriella.
If you like Duffy, Katie Melua etc your sure to like this albumn
Disappointing - By: C. Corr, 24 Oct 2008
I bought this on the sole basis of the single 'Sweet about me'
I liked this song & her voice.... I still like that song & her voice but this album truly disappointed me.

The lyrics; nothing clever here, she rhymes everything, Owe, Show. Thunder, Wonder. Night, Bite. Play, Day. Grumpy, Bumpy. Ding & Swing!! & Maybe Baby!! No!! I know she's young but this just goes to show poor inexperienced songwriting & in my mind very lazy!

Her voice is quite pleasant & some of the tunes are nice but the laziness of the lyrics just made me laugh & after about 2 listens it just irritated me...

Maybe she will mature & with some songwriting lessons or a good mentor she will get better but she has not impressed me with this album.



Autopilot Xenomania - By: Young Offender, 01 Sep 2008
Cilmi has a characterful voice, but her album is let down by poor quality control. 'Sweet About Me' is undeniably great, & the balllad 'Safer' is well above average, but much of the rest seems like autopilot Xenomania to me - too many tracks sound like the ones Girls Aloud left in the wreckage after a ram-raid on the studio. The bonus cover of 'Echo Beach', a proper song with a memorable tune, only shows up the fluffy filler that precedes it.

Is There Anything Sweet About Gabby? - By: A. L. Campbell, 02 Aug 2008
One of the best albums i've heard since Amy Macdonald's 2007 album This Is The Life, Best Album Of 2008, once you here Sweet About Me you'd expect it to alll be soul, but the devilish side of Gabby comes out in 6 of the albums top tracks which are, Save The Lies, Got No Place To Go, Don't Wanna Go To Bed Now, Messy, Terrifying & Echo Beach, She sounds good whilst being devilish, You've got the soul singing side of gab in great tracks such as, Sweet About Me, Sanctuary, Einstein, Awkward Game, Safer, Sit In The Blues, thease bring out gabby realy good, one of the best tracks on the album Cigerettes And Lies i think fits in both categories, do u like a good Pop Soul RnB collaberation then this is one 4 u.
