Kern Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 I don't know how long has it been since the release but it might become on of my favorite albums this year. I understand why people might be dissapointed but for me the way the songs change so fast and kinda work like a mixtape is the reason why I love it - it's fresh and keeps you interested.
raven Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 i really love this - i feel like she captured the essence of summer well phenomenal, haute, champagne sh*t, only have eyes 42, float (coco & breezy remix), and lipstick lover are all great
theweekend Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 this is SO GOOD. she looks phenomenal. truly her beauty peak. love the shoots in the pool which became the album cover. 2
Kern Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 I'm glad Waterslide got a video, I was hoping it would Love the vibes
KatyPrismSpirit Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 Water Slide getting a video! One of the best cuts from the album.
Power love Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 I’m in love with this album. I hope we get more music videos.
humbz Posted August 9, 2023 Posted August 9, 2023 the way it grew on me? insane. her brightness on this record is so contageous. once you fall for its charm, there’s no turning back. definitely not as orchestral and cinematic as her previous albums, but the transitions are great and the highlights are amazing, sexy, catchy, funny, courageous, impetuous. it has been my go-to album for a while now. highlights are black sugar beach/phenomenal, the rush, water slide and know better. 4
Kh-Loud Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) This is cute but by far her worst album lyrically, sonically and production wise. This is such a huge down grade from Dirty Computer - almost every song on this record sounds like a transitional interlude! Edited August 16, 2023 by Kh-Loud 1 1
Kern Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 I still listen to this album daily Champagne ****/Black Sugar Beach, Phenomenal and Water Slide are those tracks
Nashe Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 I finally listened to it. Thanks for reminding me haha It's quite decent as a whole, don't think I'd play anything as a standalone as of now
thankfulforkelly Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 I understand it’s not as conceptual as Dirty Computer, but I still think this is a really fun record. Champagne **** is one of her best. I just wish it was a bit longer and it’s frustrating how lots of the songs are randomly spliced
Kern Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 btw. Lipstick Lover #1 on some chart Quote The singer banks a second consecutive No. 1, despite a five-year gap between albums. https://www.billboard.com/pro/janelle-monae-lipstick-lover-number-1-adult-rb-airplay-chart/ 1

mons†er Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 the replay value of this album is insane. it definitely is her best and as usual a cohesive a body of work. I do wish 'Black Sugar Beach' was extended or a full song. 1

My take on the album has changed so drastically after having on it on repeat for this entire beach week. Sonically, it’s sooo warm, breezy, catchy, and easy to listen to despite the minimal productions. The album is a major grower, and it gets better with every listen. my one major complain still though is the fact that the majority of these songs are so short and don’t really stand out on their own, but they works together so unexpectedly and flawlessly as a whole album listening experience. This album is ONE MAJOR VIBE - definitely my summer album of 2023! Love it so much Edited August 20, 2023 by Kh-Loud 1
Guy12345 Posted August 20, 2023 Posted August 20, 2023 Only Have Eyes 42 is probably her best. beautiful.
monologueNacafe Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 Listening a couple months later and I’m still not feeling a lot of these songs…I only like the second half 1
