Data Insight

Nine of the ten tracks carry her name and Toby Gad co-writes eight of them. The label changed and so did the credit line, which now looks like a songwriter's album rather than a talent-show winner's.

The 2015 album on Island and Def Jam, her first away from Syco and her most self-written.
