Review
"Fight or Flight (Bonus Track Version)" by Emily Osment is a confident departure from her earlier Disney-associated image, showcasing a more mature, electro-pop sound. The album delivers a blend of danceable beats, emotional vulnerability, and catchy hooks. Tracks like "Lovesick" and "Let's Be Friends" highlight Osment's growth as a vocalist and performer, while songs such as "Marisol" and "Truth or Dare" add depth with edgier tones and introspective lyrics. The bonus tracks are a worthwhile inclusion, offering fans extended insight into her artistic range. Overall, the album is a solid debut that proves Osment’s potential as a serious pop artist outside her TV persona.
