Outstanding CD Release: Jordin Sparks - Battefield

Jordin Sparks' sophomore release Battefield sets her apart from the American Idol studio treatment she had on her first album and provides a pack of R&B/pop tunes from today's major hitmakers. From teaming up with Ryan Tedder to T-Pain, Battefield showcases a big bag of products that are stellar in writing, producing, and the amazing stylings of Sparks' voice. The album starts of very upbeat with the thumpy, empowering "Walking on Snow", telling a boy that everything he does is pointless from now on. The title track "Battlefield" is one of the best ballads on this joint, starting off a tad bit slow, but by the mid-section, Sparks picks it up with a lot screams and vocal layers. Other stand out tracks are "S.O.S. (Let the Music Play)", "It Takes More", and "Emergency (911)".

This is definitely worth the buy. Her best material to date and she's just getting started FOR REAL! Jordin isn't playing. Battefield is in stores now!
