Tissues and Issues

I have always been a fan of Charlotte's since she first began her career with her lovely classical renditions. It is nice to see she has branched out & now turned to a different style of singing, popular. She has a fantastic voice & this album shows she can switch things up & produce a very good mixture of songs. So good on you Charlotte for having a go at new challenges!

Great collection of catchy pop songs. Perfect for listening to on a girls road trip

As someone that has her classical albums I think something needs to be pointed out. Charlotte has made a very wise decision on her change of direction. For people who don't listen to classical music, Charlotte was a very mediocre classical singer. She had fame, purely because she an 'Ok' classical singer at such a young age. She was never anything special. However, what Charlotte can't do in classical, she certainly can do with the pop sound. She obviously had vigorous vocal lessons constantly, with every classical piece she tried (she certainly sounded as if she was struggling). Pop, obviously, is not so high in demanding long high notes and complicated vocal patterns. So guess what? She is a pro with singing pop. She knows how to sing and this album definitely shows that. The classical roots that shine here is in 'Easy Way Out' and 'Confessional Song' when there is a use of an orchestra (incidentally, the best songs on the album). The first two songs threw me off since she didn't seem to be using any vocal talent whatsoever ('Call My Name' and 'Crazy Chick') but then incomes 'Moodswings' which is a very well sung song and it improves there on. 'Crazy Chick' is extremely poor in theory and sounded like a song done by the Mavericks but it's catchy, I guess it has to be heard a few times before you like it. I'm not a huge fan of the pop genre so irritating beats and digital sounds annoyed me accordingly but they are produced with maturity and Charlottes lyric writing - though often free verse - proves to be relative and again mature. Look out for 'Easy Way Out' and 'Confessional Song' when listening to this album. If you like the upbeat sound I suggest 'Let's Be Alone', 'Moodswings' and 'Crazy Chick'. Ones I have given no mention I view as fillers. But that is personal preference is it not? For the people raving that her use of vibrato is a 'classical influence' I suggest you listen to Delta Goodrem and Christina Aguilera, in what day and age would you call them classical? Both have heavy use of vibrato among other pop artists. It's a technique that gives these singers superiority and doesn't sound dull, like Britney Spears or Geri Halliwell.

When I bought this album it was on a whim - but I am not disappointed. Charlotte has a briliant voice and this album shows it off. Although some of the tracks do show her insecurity she is brilliant.

this cd is highly dissapointing. i decided to purchase it based on the debut single crazy chick which is undoubtedly fantastic! however this album approaches risky genres of music for charlotte, being a classicly trained singer, this was a big risk, and unfortunatly from the album i can say this hasnt worked at all. In 90% of the songs charlotte struggles to leave behind her classical roots and ends up incorperating a classical voice in rock/pop songs which does niether the song nor her any justice. The only other song (except crazy chick) where charlotte pulls it off is moodswings, however the song itself is poor and lacks any rhythm.im surprised that most of the songs on the album were included as they are poor also. I was highly disappointed with the album and i found that after 1 listen it has been put on my shelf, and will definatly remain there. i think crazy chick will mislead consumers into buying the album, but BUY THE SINGLE, as the album isnt worth it. Charlotte - dont try to be something you arent love! you sing classical music well, u dont sing on this album well, it sounds dreary, dry and your voice is odd in comparison to the styles of music you TRY to sing. i wish this review could have been more poitive. although crazy chick is a wicked song charlotte - well done! more singles like that in the future and a decent album and you may do well, although id be surprised if this album manages to scrape into the top 50 let alone top 10! x x x thanks for listning!

Great album! Couldn't ask for better voices and all the songs are nice:)

自伝とか読むと、天使の歌声からどうしても脱皮したくてこっちの道に行ったみたいです。今までやっていた発声法とは全く違うので、ロックやポップスのボイストレーニングもみっちりして、アルバム作成も色々考えて完成させたとありました。派手なメイクは今まで商業的に作られたキャラクターへの反動か、アルバム自体は決して悪くありません。でも、クロスオーバー歌手時代の澄んだ歌声のイメージがあるので、聴いたら？？と一瞬なります。それが好きだったファンは離れるでしょう。後半の方に収録されてるボーイジョージ作曲のeven god は美しいバラードでした。歌を提供する歌手を選ぶそうですから、シャルロットの実力は認められてるんですね。他の曲と比べると、比較的澄んだ高い音域のバラードで、クラシックをやっていた彼女だからこそ、とても美しく歌われてます。切ない歌詞も彼女自身の経験と重ねられる感じがします。私はオススメです。

I loved every song on this CD. Her voice is just astounding. You can tell that the words in the songs mean something to her. Same as Back to Scratch.

I can't believe the negavity this CD is receiving!! Is it that these people have to clean all the wax out of thier ears? Or could it be that they cannot accept the fact that this young lady is becoming a woman! Don't get me wrong I own all of her previous Cd's and they are so Beautiful!!However I can now say my favorite, hands down, is Tissues and Issues...So much beauty ...So much emotion...So much honesty.The more I listen to this CD the more I LOVE IT!!!For those you who are bringing in all the religion issues "LET HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE"Charlotte you are a gift from GOD,and just like me,we are finding are own way and if we make mistakes they are ours to make,and you sang it best... LET ME BE ME!!This is just the begining....

Item as described and fully functional. Fast shipping. Thank you!
