Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 69.9/100, a mean average of 68.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 68.3/100. The standard deviation for this album is 23.5.

Finally she's free from her contract with RCA and she can release an album that really showcases her talents. This album is pure soul from start to finish. The music is perfectly competent, and Kelly's vocal performance is probably one of my favorite vocal performances on an album in a long time.
I was worried but she found a nice balance of everything. Her vocals can be vibrant, explosive, but she can also bring it down and be more calm and seasoned. A tad overproduced, but it does a good job of complimenting her while also switching up style. The lyrics aren't her best, but they are still good, especially as pop lyrics(ie immediate, less complex and more emotional). And these hooks, these choruses, just really one great one after another.
