Actress and singer Ashley Tisdale has released her third album, Symptoms, a collection that highlights the star’s struggles with anxiety and depression.

Tisdale has said the album was created to talk about issues she has dealt with. The artist also co-wrote all of the songs on the album, making them more true to her personal life.

The album’s opening song, “Symptoms,” is an upbeat song explaining her feelings of anxiety surrounding commitment. “Looking Glass” is a pop-electro anthem that warns listeners not to believe the perfection seen in social media, since it doesn’t show the struggles of reality.

“Under Pressure” expresses Tisdale’s feelings of being crushed by pressure and her decision to break away from the those feelings to live her life more fully.

A few of the songs fail to showcase Tisdale’s voice, but overall this is a good album.  Each song explains a symptom the singer has experienced, creating a realistic and powerful album.
