An America’s Got Talent finalist in 2014, West’s debut album features three original songs co-written by West, including “Bitter.” According to rollingstone.com, “‘Bitter’ swells and soars, thanks to West’s impassioned vocals. Heartbreak has never sounded quite this uplifting.” It also includes a duet with Cyndi Lauper on “True Colors,” and the songs that made her popular on America’s Got Talent.
