Drenched in drawl and intentionally uneven overdubs, the album is a smartly assembled piece of Southern pop-rap. All of the tracks are the same tempo, but they prevent boredom by keeping it short-it’s only 12 songs. Jermaine Dupri keeps his garbage Diddy-esque cameos to a minimum. I can’t hate...
...tells the other five people at a New York City dinner table about how her superstrict parents never let her sleep over at friends' houses, there are chuckles of recognition. There are equally empathetic, if more sober, nods when Grace Chang Lucarelli, 32, speaking in a soft Texan drawl, recalls "people making fun of me" because she was one of the few Asian Americans in her town. The people around the table grew up in rural Texas, suburban New Jersey, upstate New York, small-town Virginia and the real O.C. But they are the children of parents who immigrated...

Adams is Ashley, the pregnant North Carolina native and self-appointed welcoming committee for her new, blue-state sister-in-law into their small town. With those impossibly doe-like eyes and confident drawl, Ashley is a woman satisfied because she fully understands everything in the world around her, and happy because she understands just a little bit more (her favorite animal is, she exclaims matter-of-factly, the lemur). And when a long-foreshadowed tragedy strikes, she gives a 10-hanky breakdown as spiritual...
