1. Call Me Maybe - This is blowing up radio all over the world, and for good reason. It may end the year as the catchiest single of 2012. I just can't see how anyone could resist this, from the buoyant melody to the strings-assisted, incessant hook. 10/10
2. Curiosity - A one two punch, and the next single if her management are smart. It's not quite as hit-you-over-the-head terrific as the last track, but there's a bunch of subtle hooks that will keep you coming back. Best is that wordless, post-chorus refrain. 10/10
3. Picture - Slowing things down a bit, but she still sticks with the glossy production. This suffers just a little bit because it brings down the energy after the ridiculously awesome openers. Still, I could see this as a potential single (kind of reminiscent of Owl City's "Fireflies" from a few years back). 8/10
