I think it's perfectly normal she's not trying to be perfect at this stage... Mostly everyone that's been around as much as she has don't have that thirst for perfection, especially if they achieved so much in the past already. And, yes, that happens in every single kind of job: when you start you have another mindset, after you've been around a very long time you simply aren't SO young and impulsive. It's not that you're less passionate, but you already made experiences, it's obvious you're not so eager anymore.
ANYWAY, it's not a good excuse to blatantly being lazy. To make an example, in my point of view, a PV like You & Me is nothing special, but overall acceptable, while reusing rejected demos for the sake of doing a new album is unbelievably wrong. One is being indulgent with herself, the other is being absurd. This is how I see it.

I agree with her voice problems around Love Songs and Party Queen. She was struggling so much and so many songs would've been better with a tone that didn't sound so strained.
But I noticed huge improvements with LOVE again, and now it seems her voice is stable again, and I think she's made a wonderful job with it lately (her last single, Pray and My Way).
