Good album. Bad choices.

This is the debut album of Natalia Kills. It's not avalaible to buy worldwide, but you can already get the first single 'Mirrors' on iTunes. I'm going to review this album as a whole piece, and not track by track, as I use to.

Natalia is a good singer, I haven't seen her performing or promoting very much, but I can say she has potential to become a big artist. But I don't think she's making good choices lately. The singles are probably the worst tracks on the album (except for Mirrors) and I just can't stand the collaboration with will.i.am in Free. Acid Annie, Superficial and Love Is A Suicide are way better choices to put singles out. And in my opinion, these are as important as the artwork or the quality of the music. The main genre of the album is this kind of pop that lately has been re-invented into a techno-electro-dance-pop. Fernando Garibay and Kierszenbaum are big producers on the album, and that's, in my opinion, a pro and a contra throughout the journey of Perfectionist. I really can see Lady Gaga influences in her music (mainly, because of the producers) and her public image reminds me a little of Mother Monster too. But I really don't blame anyone or anything of plagiarism or accuse anybody of being a copycat. Influence always is present in an artist work and personality, and most of people don't understand that.

The artwork is outstanding, I love the cover and the whole booklet. Nevertheless, huge artists always had a big start, and I can't see Natalia being known worldwide because of Perfectionist. I really couldn't decide if I had to choose the single she will be known for. Not yet. Neither Natalia's ready for the world, nor the world is ready for Natalia. Perfectionist is a good album, but not The Album. I'm sure she will make better music with a bigger impact on the media in a few months/years.

I give the album a... /5
