Young Foolish Happy (Deluxe Edition)

Young Foolish Happy (Deluxe Edition) review

Pixie Lott’s powerful debut

This bright singer’s career started in 2009, when Pixie Lott released her very first studio attempt – the single Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh) attracted listeners’ attention in practically no time. The vivacious electropop composition was enjoyed by music lovers and also it was acclaimed by the critics. Thereby Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh) appeared to peak at the very top of the British chart of singles, and such a confident beginning of a career is not every artist’s achievement. Gradually Pixie Lott prepared enough material for the recording the full-length debut album, so the release of her long play called Turn It Up took place in 2009. Pixie managed to warm up listeners’ interest with the help of such singles as Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh) and Boys and Girls, and that is why the young artist’s album got so much attention. Turn It Up completely satisfied music lovers’ expectations and it got to the upper lines of numerous charts not only in the UK, but also far from Lott’s motherland. Now it is Young Foolish Happy’s turn to surprise connoisseurs of high-class music. It is definitely worth mentioning that Pixie Lott takes a direct part in the creative process and songwriting, which means that it is really fascinating for her to perform her own songs. The artist is fulfilling her potential gradually, step by step, because when she issued the first single, it became obvious that the big future is waiting for her. Pixie gained a great speed with the help of Turn It Up, and that helped her to conquer the new height, which was titled Young Foolish Happy.

Young Foolish Happy: moving forward

The album is opened by the vivacious composition Come Get It Now that will be probably well remembered due to its amazing tandem of a bass part and a dance beat. However the main place in all Pixie’s songs is taken by her vocals, and that is quite clear, actually – the talented singer can invent really original parts. Thus, for example, What Do You Take Me For? with elements of hip-hop differs greatly from the album’s first track, but it seems that Pixie feels comfortable in any musical decorations. The song Kiss The Stars has all the chances to conquer dance floors all over the world – that rousing and energetic track will be noticed by lovers of dancing, there is no doubt about it. By the way, Young Foolish Happy has enough space not only for energetic tracks, but also for romantic compositions, such as Love You To Death or We Just Go On. The young singer, whose first album was dedicated to feelings and relationships, just could not left this theme behind. And does she have to, anyways? If Lott feels comfortable with this one, that means that her feelings will be real and sincere.

Confidence is the guarantee of a successful album

Well, Pixie Lott had a successful debut a couple of years before, and since that time the singer has been constantly mastering her performing skills. Her first album turned out to be so well-done and it was so much enjoyed by listeners, that many people started to think and worry about its continuation and that it may become a bit disappointing, especially considering the loud success of Turn It Up. Actually, it is quite difficult to suppose what direction will be chosen by a young artist. However Pixie Lott made a huge work and she recorded an excellent long play, which became a truly nice continuation of the first studio attempt. Young Foolish Happy will definitely please those, who enjoyed Lott’s previous work. While those people who were lucky and got the special Deluxe version of an album will be able to enjoy some bonus tracks, including atmospheric Paper Planes and Black As Rain. And if Pixie keeps on working in this way, pretty soon she will be able to compete with such stars as Lady Gaga, Katy Perry or Adele.
