I disliked NEXT LEVEL when it came out, mostly due to the interludes. But now it's become my favorite album. I think her recent music is much easier on the ears. (m)u, Secret, GUILTY and NEXT LEVEL have a very pleasant, smooth sound (with the exception of some GUILTY tracks). Whilst I believe her previous albums hold more artistic merit (especially I am..., with Dearest, M, etc.) my most listened albums are the more recent onces. And I was only around for the release of GUILTY and NEXT LEVEL, so I haven't listened the most to them due to that. Therefor, I believe that her music has become more commercial/polished, but not better. x')
