The Strength of a Woman is not determined by the quality of her music, nor is it determined by the length of her career. Longevity? A classic album does not bolster. I am not an avid fan nor hater, yet I respect and appreciate her.
The beginning not only finds itself as one brassy and serotonin-inducing opener, but is an important step in preparing oneself to love and be loved by others, to improve upon the foundation of one's soul, it also features an appropriate guest, but to truly love others, you must first "Love Yourself." A feel good introduction to this next chapter in her career, before we find ourselves in the "Thick of It."
The strength will not falter, even amidst deceptive prospects for "The One" ("Set Me Free"), or failed realization of potential ("Glow Up"). In fact, it can prove to be "Indestructible," which doesn't have her preaching but can serve as a unisexual message to know one's worth and prevent the closing of one's heart.
While some of the lyrical content was written in pain, there is positivity present, and sometimes it shines, like a "Smile" will often lighten our hearts, and once you "Find the Love" you need and seek, you will find strength, but it may come from within, or without. The strength of another may not be revealed all at once, as it has many facets. The album has much to give, as the title track will reveal.
