Fifty-word review

Romance is Boring

Borrow It

The charm and sweetness from previous releases is lacking, with song names as long as fortune cookie sayings trying to cover that up. Themes favoring sex over love make some songs feel as rewarding as a (forgettable) one night stand. The mix of boy/girl vocals is the saving grace here.
