Britain's Cher Lloyd gained fame when she placed fourth in The X-Factor in 2010.
Most R&B, hip hop and pop fans will like her varied debut album, Sticks + Stones.
The 10 tracks include some good collaborations, most notably with Busta Rhymes on Grow Up and with Mike Posner on With Ur Love.
The first single of the album, the electro- and dubstep-heavy Jagger Swagger, will make you get up and dance.
In Want U Back, the anger in Lloyd's voice is clear, accompanied by an irate background growl, as she sings about a former boyfriend who has moved on: 'Remember all the things that you and I did first/And now you're doing them with her.'
With Ur Love shows instead a happy, loving side of Lloyd that's infectious: 'I feel like I'm on top of the world with your love.'
