Free Music Notes for Willa Was Here

Free Music Review: Virtually no flaws...
Hit: 5 Stars

Willa Was Here is, simply put, one of the best pop/electronica albums out there. Not only that, but most of the songs have very creative well written lyrics. It's clear Willa has massive amounts of talent, and it's puzzling to me why she isn't more famous. Many people think she's gone, but to let you know, she just finished a new album, and the new single should be out April/May (It would have been out January/February but she decided to re-do the background music to make it orchestral techno! It will be awesome).

1. I Wanna Be Bad (Ft. Royce Da 5'9") (7/10) - I don't particularily like this song. However, it's quite possibly the ONLY dance song on the CD... Royce doesn't contribute much of a rap, only saying a couple sentences at most. But overall, it's probably the only single on here which had a chance at commercial success, which it did. I still don't think it's all that great.

2. Did Ya Understand That? (9/10) - Why did this flop!? This was the second single, but for some reason it COMPLETELY flopped. It's a very upbeat guitar song with very creative lyrics. Willa sings REALLY fast here, and it's often hard to understand what she's singing. The video is very great, but incredibly rare.

3. Ooh Ooh (6/10) - My least favorite song on the album...it's upbeat, but it seems to me Willa's trying to be a little too sexy, and it comes off as just plain weird.

4. Tired (10/10) - I LOVE this song! It's really upbeat and has a very cool electronic beat to it. There are two major flaws though... 1. The meaning: Willa complains about the trials and tribulations of fame...fame that she doesn't have...and she also says pop music [is weak]...when she SINGS pop music. 2. She makes fun of Britney in it. Britney is my homegirl! I love Brit-Brit.

5. Joke's On You (10/10) - Probably one of the best on the CD. The lyrics suck, but the beat is amazing and so creative! It's very orchestral (this is what her next album will sound like) and very techno at the same time... Willa sings amazingly beautifully on the bridge (which includes a harp!).

6. Tender (8/10) - The only slow ballad on the CD (yes, there are upbeat ballads here!). I didn't like the lyrics all that much, as they're pretty generic...but the way she sings is really pretty. You'll probably find yourself skipping over this one a lot though.

7. Don't You Wish? (10/10) - BEST SONG on the CD! This song is so depressing, although the meaning behind it is a little cryptic and sinister... This song is an upbeat electronica/ballad that has some pretty depressing lyrics. What is it about? From Willa's perspective, she wants this guy to leave his girlfriend so they can be together. But she comes off a little aggressive and scary.

8. Prince Charming (10/10) - Amazing classic pop song right here. The lyrics are kinda shallow, but the beat and her singing makes up for it...get this, she RAPS here! It's so awesome! She raps out the names of the guys she considers to be her "prince charming" (Prince William, Matt Damon, Kobe Bryant, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sisqo) It's so awesome and innovative!

9. Somebody Take The Pain Away (9/10) - Well, let me explain this... the chorus is lacking of a hook. This song doesn't really deserve a 9, but I'll tell you why it got the extra point --- it samples "Here Comes The Rain Again" by the Eurythmics, which is an awesome song. It's another upbeat ballad, with great verses and a great bridge, but the chorus is very lacking.

10. Haunted Heart (10/10) - Aside from almost perfect music and amazing singing (and an electric guitar), this song should be a 9. Why did it get a 10? THAT B-SECTION! How on EARTH does anyone sing for that long without dying of oxygen deprivation? That takes some amazing talent, because there's virtually NO pauses inbetween lyrics there.

11. Dare (10/10) - Why was this called Dare...? It should have been called Nasty. Nasty is said at least 50 times in the song. Regardless, the beat is kind of funny the first couple of listens, but afterwards it's really awesome. The b-section here is the best part.

BONUS TRACKS/UNRELEASED TRACKS

12. All The Right Moves (10/10) - This is very Max Martin-eque in it's poppiness, and is the most poppy song she's done (along with Lullaby...for the Pokemon movie *gags*) but it's regardless, a great song. It seems a lot shorter than it is.

13. Nastified (Willa Ford & Park Ji Yoon) (10/10) - I LOVE THIS SONG!!! It's actually Park Ji Yoon featuring Willa Ford, but it's more of a duet. It has a really cool Asian R&B beat mixed with an rock beat. It's awesome.

14. Gimme Gimme Gimme (Santa Baby) (8/10) - This song was kind of a hit here in America...but more-so in Asia. The meaning behind it lowered the score, as it's a spoiled brat song. But the beat is cool. It's almost impossible to understand her at parts.

Look out for more from Willa soon! Her new album will probably rule!
