walking proud, especially the remastered version on BEST 2 black, is truly a showcase. I adore how intricate the drum track is, and how it fold into the melody/composition of the song soooo well. It really is a star component of the track.
And CAROLS I used to find boring af, but the remastered mix on BEST 2 black changed that. I love how the prechorus changed the pace/mood of the song, hinting at what's to come in the lift off of the chorus, and the chorus is like descending into pure bliss (as far as emotion goes). It's like pillows of sound and the warmth of love.
And THAT BRIDGE!! You can feel the "despite this, despite that (the whirlwind of emotions, the unpleasant times, the tense times, the drama), this feeling of happiness when I am beside you, transcends and overpowers it all. It's magical.

Ok, though I was one of the people who said My Story is not my favorite (though I actually really like it when I think about it), I actually disagree with you about NEXT LEVEL. I think My Story does have more ambiance than most of her albums, but NL is one of my absolute favorites of hers because of its ambiance I feel it displays. It has the aura of positive, energetic emotions mixed with a very futuristic sound and complex feelings of gratitude, sheer enjoyment, and self-esteem.
I think the interludes really make this work, though.
But seriously, talking about My Story really makes me want to buy the album so I can listen to it. XD
