Album Review: Cher Lloyd - Sorry I'm Late

Cher Lloyd came out of the British X-Factor in 2010, a beguiling pastiche of teenage attitude, hip hop hiccups and dewy-eyed innocence – the archetypal 21st century pop star blank canvas for the likes of Cowell and will.i.am to blow their pretensions over. Her second album Sorry I'm Late is the same pap – thankfully the Black Eyed Peas' influence is gone, but most of the album sounds like conveyer-belt pop. Bind Your Love rips off X-Factor winner James Arthur. TI guest stars in I Wish. It's not all hateful, though, especially with Dirty Love's humour and involuntary grooves.
