For her second solo album, former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole has worked mostly with Wayne Wilkins, who also helped pen her #1 debut single “Fight For This Love”. Chezzers good friend will.i.am is back on board for the straightforward pop of “Live Tonight” and the more electro-heavy “Lets Get Down”. Former Gym Class Hero lead vocalist Travie McCoy lends his talents to “Yeah Yeah” and Dizzee Rascal drops in to add a bit of Brit-rap to “Everyone”, with its vacillating bass and sharply harmonized chorus. ‘Messy Little Raindrops” had made it to U.K. number 1 with this album as well as U.K. number 1 single with Promise This. This is a worthy successor to Coles multi-platinum debut solo album ‘3 Words.’
