Let's not glorify Joanna's music. It's POP, not too much more. If you like POP along the lines of Kelly Clarkson, you'll probably end up liking This Crazy Life. Joanna has a strong voice, but I'm sure that'll end up getting clouded over by her looks, which is sad, because as good as she looks, her voice is stronger than a considerable amount of people getting a ton more attention than she is. However, now that you know that, I hope that you'll buy this before the label jacks up the price when she gets popular (which I'm sure will happen).
Song-wise, This Crazy Life is full of great vocals, catchy beats, and pretty good lyrics. I'm disappointed that Joanna didn't write all the songs but with a label like Geffen, I'm sure they're not taking any chances. Personally, I think Joanna's voice sounds better fronting a ock beat, like that of the chorus on the opening track, Let It Slide. But then again, she's not too shabby on a piano-laden track, such as the gorgeous 4th Of July. Her outright POP tunes I don't feel show her potential as much as the afforementioned types of songs. That's me though.
In an endlessly growing sea of pop singers, Joanna properly shows she's better than a lot of those out there. Need proof? Listen to the title track "This Crazy Life", and try not to say this girl is talented. How many singers tackle topics like that in a song? Her delivery is eerily effective and the increasingly distorted background music (think POP-oriented industrial) is just perfect. Not to mention the variety included, it's not that unusual anymore but heck, it makes for an entertaining listen.
