Concept
According to a Rolling Stones magazine interview, there will be no concept other than supporting the Fierce Pop genre.
"There is no particular concept in this one. I’m basically going random. I’m also not looking for mainstream success. All I’m looking for is for fan satisfaction; therefore I decided to produce the album myself. There is no one telling me what to do. This is me raw. I think my fans are going to love this album because I’m going back to my old roots but I’m also bringing in new soil."

Critical
OOC: I know its Rolling Stone.
Opening with the very up-tempo “Destruction” is a Fierce Pop attitude song about a break up and handling it with a dance battle. It’s an ordinary comeback pop song with your ordinary catchy lyrics “destruction on the dance floor, your torture is my seduction, baby lets war”. But, with a twist. A three minute guitar solo done by guitarist from “The Nimrods” that is breathless and over-powering. Great way to open up the album and end the song.
The excitement doesn’t stop there, next is controversial Brit-pop song called “Plead The 5th” that should of belonged to the “Diary of a Pop Sinner Vol. 1“. Stephanie Fierce picks on Peta with careless lyrics that many animal lovers might take to offend. “Sorry for revenging the snake, as soon as I ate the apple, fashion made wear shoes that are fake”. Those confused by it. The snake tempts her to eat the apple of wisdom and shame. God then punishes her for not being obedient. Out of anger she kills the snake and turns it into a pair of shoes. A reference to the classic “Adam & Eve” story.
The next track called “She’s the Bitch” (originally known as “The Bitch”) is probably the highlight of the album. This track is what Stephanie Fierce would probably call Fierce rock. Well constructed explicit lyric such as “She gives the kind of fuck, disgrace to humanity”. Stephanie Fierce paints a moving picture of her ex’s new girlfriend with this song. It is sure to be a fan favorite.
Up next Stephanie Fierce slows things down with “Don‘t Look at Me“. A hybrid of the piano driven #1 hit “Where I Belong”, one of the very few Stephanie Fierce R&B only songs. The song talks about forgiveness. Lets just say Stephanie Fierce is humble as the piano in the song but hard as the lyrics.
Then comes “Beware!”. The most outrageous lyrics Stephanie Fierce has ever provided. The song is about Stephanie warning her up-coming lover that she is freakily serious about the relationship and that she wants it to last. “I rather be the meat in your skinny jeans, so you wont send me free”. “That way you will rub me, whther I make you angry or happy”.
Next is first time ever Spanish song “Cacafuego” from Stephanie Fierce. The "folk-like" song has a very unusual name. While the word may translate the popularly funny name of the ship “Shitfire”. Cacafuego is simply a reference to a penis. The Spanish lyrics eventual have a translation to “there are plenty of fish in the sea, but a sailor like me only eats red meat”.
The next track is “The Hidden Song”. Which is probably the only disappointing track of the album. Lyrics some what clichéd and the track doesn’t stick well to the album.
Then is “Shy Boy” another hybrid. Some what, like a sequel to “Sweaty Nights” but less sexual. It’s a Ska like dance floor stomper that runs smoothly and it sure to be picked up by the radios before Stephanie Fierce even knows it.
Stephanie Fierce then continues to impress us with the military style song “Hunter”, a hard drum hitting/guitar driven song about not just finding love but hunting it. Stephanie Fierce lyric ability shines well. “They call me wild child, I call them prey” ,“I’m a hunter, I get curious for the blood”, “Moving mountains I’m out of my mind, is this the reason why love is so difficult to find.” The song is emotionally devastating. But the outro’s chant of faith makes up for it.
Lastly, is “Give Me Fierce or Give Me” a complete remake of the previous version on DOAP Vol. 2. The song opens up to a 2 minute emotional instrumental. Then from there the song is taken over by Acapella, not mentioning the title until the end.
Stephanie Fierce is one of the most talented of all pop artist, and as soon as you overlook her jaw-dropping good looks you will see it. Stephanie Fierce, the third studio album by the international pop star is a eargasm rush. The album is everything a die hard Fierce fan dreamed and wanted. While only containing 10 tracks, alsmot every song has enough substance to make listening last a life time. Stephanie Fierce goes back to her old roots with “Destruction”, “ and “Shy Boy” while Shamelessly dragging “The Sinners Era” with her. Stephanie Fierce even touches “World” sound with first time ever Spanish song “Cacafuego”. Overall the album contains decent high quality pop music with lyrics that‘s will make laugh, cry or even make you angry. It's catchy, offensive, mindblowing, sexy and fierce! Stephanie Fierce is back 4.5/5 stars!
