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.

Absolutely amazing album with brilliant tracks,can't stop playing it.I loved the first album and this is just as good if not better.

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.

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.

Classic Christina. ♥ outstanding vocals beautuful lyrics.. a great follow up album to Lovestrong.. cant stop listening to it. .

Love Christina's music, have bought her first CD for so many people and expect I will do the same for this one. Cannot recommend highly enough, I love this album already. Can't wait to watch her perform her new tunes on YouTube.

Love this artist. Great voice. Another winning CD. Her last album was fantastic. Saw her live in Manchester. What a show it was.

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.
