Tulisa Album Review: The Female Boss.

“She is strong when she is weak, she is brave when she is scared, and she is humble when she is victorious, she is a female boss.“ Thats right, the superstar singer, multi-platinum selling artist and X Factor judge, Tulisa is back, and has finally unveiled her début album ‘The Female Boss,’ released via All Around The World/ Island Records on 26^th November 2012.

The 24-year-old solo artist from London is back doing what she loves the most, singing, making and selling records and keeping her place on the X Factor panel for a second year running. 'The Female Boss' is Tulisa's first solo album with hit singles such as 'Young' and 'Live It Up' topping the track listing of it.

The album collectively is a good one, it mainly is songs focusing around Tulisa and her story of her getting herself back on her own two feet, and to me, the album is basically giving a message of: “You may have knocked me down, but I am picking myself back up/I will show you I don't need you.” Also there are songs relating to her being 'proud to be British' ('British Swag').

Some tracks from the album have the element to give you an uplifting feeling to make you feel good about yourself – for example: if you have been knocked down, you can beat them and pick yourself up and show them who is boss (or the Female Boss in this case), other songs can help you get into the party mood ('Live Your Live') ready for a night out on the town, with the party melodies, making them catchy and a sing along tune, and also when they are turned up loud, the bass is amazing to help with the partying too!

Tulisa also has a soft serenading side with songs such as 'Sight of You' a typically love song begging the guy she loves to come back. This is a song you probably would not expect from a woman with such a strong personality, but then it also helps you remember that even if she is a celebrity, she has feelings just like the rest of us.

Overall, it is a good first solo album from Tulisa, but I think she has more to give, therefore I would give this album a three out of five. (3/5).
