It's not a good sign when one of the best tracks on the album is a cover of someone else's song.
I thought Colours was a step in the right direction, but now it feels like 1 step forwards and two (or 3 or 4..) steps backwards.
Maybe it will grow on me...

For me Colours was a one time thing. It was a nice addition to her discography, but I think it was clear that, like NEXT LEVEL, it was meant to be a one time thing.
A ONE is alright. Not her best, album, but far from her worst. What the album is lacking is a few more upbeat tracks and a few less ballads.
What I like is, well almost everything, besides Anything for you - the main issue with this one that I have is that it's too long and too similar to Walk. The GIFT which has grown on me, but it's still a cheesy cpop track. The Show Must Go On - I wish it was as good as snowy kiss, but it's not. It might grow on me, but for now I don't feel like listening to it.
The stuff that stands out: WARNING, Last minute, Zutto..., Out of control and NO FUTURE. NO FUTURE was the most pleasant surprise. Even the preview was promising, but the full track is just outstanding in every way. Out of control sounds like it comes from Party Queen's rock section and it's just the type of rock ballad I love. Story has a really nice composition and I generally love it, even though it's not something truly memorable.
I don't think that the cover song is the best track on the album. There are so many tracks on it which are miles better. It's a strong release.
