Don't Stop is one of the best pop albums of 2009. Sure, it should have been one of the best pop albums of 2008, but these things happen for a reason, and the extra time was used wisely

Don't Stop might be wilfully critic-friendly, but it's also out'n'out music for the masses; probably still unlikely to connect with a populace happy to make do with Akon and Jason Mraz, obviously, but an absolute triumph in every other sense

All tracks considered, Annie makes a significant step forward with Don’t Stop. That step that might have taken awhile to hit the floor, but was well placed when it did

Her songs are not complex; often the titles are repeated ad nauseum while driving techno beats and ’80s-pop synths burn into your brain
