"Lessons To Be Learned" is the long awaited debut album by Australian singer Gabriella Cilmi. It is an album worth the wait, delivering many wonderful tracks. Gabriella has done a great job on this album, with her great voice blending in brilliantly.
1. "Save the Lies" - the second UK single is a great up-beat track with a pop/rock feel. It is a highlight and it is destined to be a hit, just like her debut single.
2. "Sweet About Me" - The first single is another highlight, with Gabriella's voice yet again standing out, the brilliant use of lyrics ("Sweet about me, there's nothin' sweet about me, yeah") and a really catchy chorus.
3. "Sanctuary" - This track is another entertaining track with a laid back feel. "Sanctuary" continues the trend of the previous tracks, being satisfying and catchy!
4. "Einstein" - A mid-tempo track, which is still a good track, but it is not the best on the album.
5. "Got No Place To Go" - A catchy track which is another favourite of mine, with a brilliant chorus and Gabriella's unique voice, it surpassed my expectations.
6. "Don't Wanna Go To Bed Now" - The second Australian single is another catchy track with a pop/rock vibe. It is another favourite, which will have you singing along instantly and it will be stuck in your head all day!
7. "Messy" - This is my favourite song on the album, with its up-tempo feel and fantastic lyrics, it is definately a hit!
8. "Awkward Game" - This is a slow track, which has brilliant lyrics and fails to dissappoint.
9. "Safer" - This tune is another slow track, which is not as good as "Awkward Game", but it is passable.
10. "Cigarettes And Lies" - A mid-tempo song which is passable becuase displays Gabriella's wonderful voice, but it is not a favourite of mine.
11. "Terrifying" - This track is back to the previous standards, with it being an up-beat track with a fun vibe and fun lyrics.
12. "Sit In The Blues" - This tune is a laid back song, which is a nice track with a good chorus!
13. "Sorry" - This Australian bonus track is a mid-tempo tune which I love! A great way to end the album.
Best track: "Messy"
Overall Rating:
9/10
"Lessons To Be Learned" is a brilliant debut album, with many fantastic moments. Gabriella Cilmi has a very unique voice, which makes all of her songs sound different in a good way. I am now officially a Gabriella Cilmi fan, and I can't wait to hear more from her.
