Album Review: lovestrong.

I went to the Library a few days ago because I wanted some new music and they had a fairly large selection of CD's. I checked out six of them and made a list of ones that I wanted to get when I came back. I wanted to share my findings and give you reviews of the music as I listen to it. I will post videos for my favorite songs off of the album and give reviews of the other tracks to tell you what is clean and what isn't.
First up is the album lovestrong. by Christina Perri. I had only heard maybe three of her songs before and I thought they were pretty good but since listening to the whole album I realized that I really like it. The album starts out strong and mellows out by the end but I still enjoyed it.
Overall, there is no sexual content or language. However, I wouldn't recommend the first track, entitled bluebird, because of the frequent use of a certain word I'm not comfortable with (H-E-double hockey sticks, if you know what I mean). Also, in the song mine, liquor is referenced briefly, so if you don't care for that, in my opinion, this track could be skipped. To my understanding, all other tracks on this album are clean and I would recommend listening to them.
The tracks are:
1. bluebird                   2. arms
3. bang, bang, bang     4. distance
5. jar of hearts             6. mine
7. interlude                  8. penguin
9. miles                     10. the lonely
11. sad song              12. tragedy

I love the second track, entitled arms. This is probably my favorite song off of the album.
                                                                                              

  Here is a song you are probably more familiar with- jar of hearts. I actually heard it on the radio the other day.
                                                                                            
Penguin is a pretty cute and enjoyable song about finding time to spend with those who really care about you and appreciating the people in your life.
                                                                                                 

If arms is my favorite, then track #9, miles, is my second favorite. The lyrics are beautiful and unique which is why I love it.

So now that you have seen a variety of posts on this blog, I would like some feedback. What do you like? What don't you like? What do you want to see more of? What would be helpful to you?
To review, so far you have seen posts with:
random songs
a theme (such as Christmas songs)
multiple tracks from a single artist
and an album review
