This is an accepted version of this page The Truth Is is the third studio album by English singer and songwriter Alexandra Burke.

The music style of The Truth Is has been described as a "power ballad pop"[1] with reggae, country and soul elements.

Andy Kellman from AllMusic criticised the lyrics, commenting, "The seasons, the sun, the stars, heat, fire, and assorted bodies of water ("swimming in the shallows," "almost drowned in a sea of lies") are used with such frequency that each nonmetaphorical line is a relief".

[5] Isabella Gallagher form The Arts Desk described the music style of the album as "a strange mix of 90s femme-pop that I am accidentally crushing on and cheesy musical-flavoured numbers" and added, "I would call out what the actual truth of The Truth Is - that this is music to not listen to.

[1] Rachel Aroesti wrote in The Guardian, "the tunes are robust rather than riveting and lyrically myopic, focusing solely on the generic thrills of a nascent relationship, often, for some reason, through the prism of weather-based imagery".
