Zeke it sounds like we basically agree on the same thing. My beef is exactly that, that she didn't take Colours all the way so instead we had a watered down EDM album (which I still liked, but if we could've taken out Pray, Hello New Me, and had a couple more properly EDM-type tracks, it would have been wonderful).
Songs like A song for xx, M, Vogue, evolution, Endless sorrow all had that punch in the gut when you first heard them. And it's not a quality/quantity issue for sure because I'd argue that from A song for xx to Memorial address that's at least 6 albums worth of consistently stellar material.
So while this isn't shitting on A ONE (because, for the record, I'll say again - I LIKED the album), I just find it disappointing that she isn't trying to make interesting music anymore. And perhaps I can be ok with it if I just lowered my expectations and lived with the 'well, she's 17 years into her career what more can we ask', but she is clearly capable of much more if she just committed to it instead of trying to please everybody and impressing nobody in the process.
