The title track, Move You, Heat etc. Not every soulfoul song is a sad post breakup like TTWLI. She tried soul pop again with MOL after Adele made it popular again. She was forced to do the Avril Lavigne Katy Perry sound for years because her first album flopped minus the Aguilera leftover. I never understood all of the outrage surrounding this situation when Kelly herself had no problem with Ryan recycling Leona Lewis' smash hit Bleeding Love for Already Gone Ehhh, I guess we will agree to disagree. I hear more The Trouble With Love Is, What's Up Lonely, Thankful kind of soulfulness on MOL. I don't get "soul" at all from Before Your Love. Thankful did fine. Miss Independent was a hit single, and sure the other singles flopped, but the album did fine. Everything was sounding more "rock" tinged on tour, so she wanted to go more Pop/Rock for the next album. Her label obviously saw that it worked, so they were afraid to let her step outside of that. That said, Meaning of Life is an album she has said she wanted to make for years, like since she was in junior high. And finally could once she got to a new label who was open to letting her do whatever. Adele didn't really have anything to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites

She purposely wanted to do the pop-rock sound for the second album and MD and wanted to do country and pop soul album, but RCA said no. Also, Katy wasn’t around then?? Not sure what your point is. BL and AG sound nothing alike lol. No she didn't lmao. She said they forced her to tone down her voice when she recorded her second album and she hated that. And AG sounds just like BL please, literally every Ryan Tedder sounds the same. Link to post Share on other sites

How does TTWLI sound like anything on MOL she literally had no control of her lower register whatsoever on that song, the opposite of now. BYL has the real soulful moments Link to post Share on other sites

She wanted the pop rock sound though, especially for Breakaway. Kelly has said that manyyyy times. That’s why My December is even more of a rock album and was a big controversy back then. Clive wanted her to have the “pop hits” and ballads, but she wanted the harder sound. Not sure where you’re getting your information from. Eh not really. Maybe a tiiiiiny bit, but BL is definitely not as similar like AG and Halo are. Those two have the same instrumentation and start with “remember”... 💀 And right before MOL came out, she said it sounded a bit like TTWLI so... (which I agree, TTWLI could definitely fit there) Edited Friday at 12:08 AM by Ab1818 Link to post Share on other sites
