4.0 out of 5 stars "Love me cos you want to...", May 16, 2010

If Lessons To Be Learned was a coffeehouse album, then Ten is a club album with its synths and electronic accompaniment to the other instruments. Think debut oddball "Save The Lies," only with more excess and less innocence, and you'll get the idea. There isn't a song likely to match Gabriella's biggest success, "Sweet About Me," nor does anything come close to topping her best, "Awkward Game," but Ten offers plenty of standouts and no obvious filler.

"On A Mission," "Love Me Cos," "Robots," "Boys," "Glue," "Let Me Know" and "Superman" are all excellent with "Love Me Cos" in particular having the most potential of being a big hit. The soulful charm of "Let Me Know" and the seductive simplicity of "Superman" recall what worked so well on the debut and close out the album on a tremendous high note. As for the remainder, "Hearts Don't Lie" and "Superhot" are mindless fun, and "What If You Knew" is cute but just okay. "Defender" doesn't stand among the best ballads she's done, while "Invisible Girl" steps into Britney territory and suffers for doing so. A bonus remix of "Sweet About Me" is included that's best left ignored, as it's as pointless as every other remix that has ever been.

Ten may not be what its name implies, but it delivers more often than not and in the end is a very good album. On a personal note, I sincerely wish only the best for Ms. Cilmi and that she have a long and successful career. It is truly a pleasure to listen to such a wonderful voice, and whatever path she takes next, I will be more than happy to follow. And Gabriella, I do want to. You're amazing.

The beautiful and talented Gabriella Cilmi returns to the scene with her second album release "Ten" and it blows me away! At first I'll admit I was a bit skeptical of the new album after loving "Lessons To Be Learned: UK Edition" but once I got hold of "Ten" it was quickly added to my I Tunes Library and constantly gets heavy airplay. Let me go through this wonderful album song by song: First up is "On A Mission" which is an upbeat unique pop tune that you can move to. Second is "Hearts Don't Lie" and it is also a track that will get you moving as it has a strong uptempo beat. Third is "What If You Knew" where Gabriella starts to slow it down a bit. Nice Lyrics on this track. Fourth is maybe my favorite track on the album: "Love Me Cos You Want To" - it has a nice smooth beat that only Gabriella can produce. Fifth is "Defender" and it follows suit by being another smooth softer tune with nice lyrics. "Robots" has a kind of electronic feel it is the sixth tune on the CD and I really like the beat on this track as well and of course Gabriella's great voice shines through again (like on all the tracks). "Superhot" is the next track - this one has a dance floor feel to it, another great track. "Boys" is another track that I could call my favorite if I had to choose - I absolutely love the deep beat and I think Gabriella's voice shines the most on this one. Ninth on the CD is "Invisible Girl" - another great upbeat-ish unique pop track. These next three tracks also could be on my list of favorite tracks from this album - they are "Glue", "Let Me Know", and "Superman." I love all of these - the all have a smooth pop/jazz feel to them. The final track is the Twenty Ten Version of "Sweet About Me" which is good but I prefer the original from "Lessons To Be Learned", this is one that could be played in a dance club. OVERALL: Great album Gabriella! Can't Wait for the next one!
