Head Or Heart

Christina Perri wasn't a name I was familiar with until last week. Amazon kindly offered a free preview of this album before release, and never one to miss an opportunity, I listened to Head or Heart. Then I reloaded it and listened a second time. Over the last week, when able, I've listened to this album about seven times, and each time it's grown on me. When I first heard it, I liked it, now I love it.

If you want to compare artists, Christina is a cross between Melody Gardot and Leslie Feist, and from hearing her full range here she's an equal to both in my opinion. This album has everything you'd want, from very tender moments to far lighter, brighter songs, all carried off with finesse and stunning clarity. Christina has a voice which will leave you wanting more, and no doubt pressing the repeat button.

Unlike many albums of late, this hasn't been over produced, and the freshness will put a broad smile on your face. I wouldn't change a single aspect of this album, and will be looking at buying this lady's previous CDs. And that's the beauty of having heard this album online, I know that when I play the CD the quality will be even better. So, thanks to Amazon for the free preview, but even greater thanks to Christina for producing an album which has songs for both the head and heart, and leave both the happier for the experience.

This is the first cd I have owned by Christina Perri, and I wish that I had discovered her music before. It is really really good!

I was hooked from the very first song "trust". Pretty emotional stuff and it was one of those rare songs that really got to me. The album has a more than fair share if beautiful ballads which I love, but the whole thing feels fairly upbeat when you've finished listening.

I'd really recommend this album and will be looking forward to future releases.

Christina Perri is an amazing talent - this album builds on Lovestrong which I loved - the songs are amazing - delivered superbly - I agree with other reviewers about the production - the best �9 you can spend right now - you must see her live - seen her live twice on the Lovestrong tour - touring UK in the autumn - I had her Lovestrong poster framed for my lounge- she is the real deal.

Another gorgeous and captivating album. A fantastic follow-up from 'lovestrong'. Personally some of the best tracks on this album are 'human', 'be my forever' and 'sea of lovers'. I suggest this album to anyone who is a fan of Christina's previous album or works or anyone new looking to broaden thier musical taste.

I've been waiting for what seems like forever for this album. I really loved Christina's debut album and so while very much looking forward to this, I was slightly worried I wouldn't love it as much as I wanted to. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. I truly like every track from the gorgeous single 'Human' to the more upbeat and happy 'Be My Forever'. There's probably a little more of a mix of tempos on 'Head or Heart' than on 'Lovestrong', but those lovely ballads are certainly still there too.
I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this album. If, like me, you've loved all her songs so far, then you're sure to love this. For anyone who hasn't heard/bought her debut, you should still give this a try as I'm sure you'll love it!

Christina is great, a breath of fresh air, from all the manufactured pop out there. Love this second album, it's great.

Amazing... All you need to know. love every single one of her songs (just using the rest of the words now)

Christina has done another perfect album. No faults. If you like Lovestrong, this album will not disappoint! A must buy!

What a second album - different to Lovestrong - very different, but absolutely amazing. Thank you Christina. Head or Heart is PERFECT.

Songs are not anywhere near as good as Lovestrong. Perhaps it will grow on me but I doubt it. Looks like another �9 wasted.
