Unhealthy is the third album by British pop sensation Anne-Marie. On the record, which came in at number two on the UK chart, she wraps playful and honest lyrics about mental health in a crystal-clear pop sound. Like on Sad B!tch ('it's so last year being a sad bitch') and Cuckoo ('I go a little OTT with the OCD. All my exes say that I'm crazy. Got a PhD in anxiety'). The frivolous pop songs with

In line with the current revival of remakes, the album also includes an uninspired version of house classic Baby Don't Hurt Me featuring David Guetta. Additionally, striking and indicative of the album's greatest pop ambitions is the collaboration with Shania Twain on the uptempo, guitar-driven title track. (SD)more
