Im kinda stoked for this. Just saw the featured artists. Grace Jones (not every girl has that!), Doechii, Sister Nancy. I'm expecting a reggae twist throughout this album which will be very interesting. Also gonna get this on vinyl.

this is GOOD. the era has been growing on me.

I think there's no noise surrounding this project. I really hope we get some RnB on the album. An entire reggae album is gonna be too much for me and for a good part of her fans.

lmao this is great. 
I am excited for the album, it may not be a conceptual masterpiece, but I think Lipstick Lover is fun.

it’s not all reggae there’s some R&B for sure. Water slide is going to be a fan favorite same with Champagne  Sh*t. Those are my two favorites

I will say that I feel like Dirty Computer had waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more hype. Which is ironic because this album is serving more "mainstream" and "basic" 

 

I really think she thought Lipstick Lover would make more noise and carry the hype for the album but she kind isolated her fanbase while also flopped on the charts

 

Love Janelle but like.......this era stinks  :rip:

It’s not on Spotify NZ yet so it’s looking like a global/timed release

I actually love US artists waiting to release it at once at midnight eastern time. Hate the "l words" floating around and early opinions.

Dang I came in here for some early reviews lol. 

 

I can’t wait for this.

I feel a little better about this after the Rolling Stone profile and hearing she isn't abandoning all the Cindi Mayweather stuff, it just seems like they want it to be a movie and she's got more traction in Hollywood now so better to wait to release the finale album in time with the movie if she can get it made. 

 

Still don't love the singles, but hopefully there are a few cute tracks hear that I'll use. Haven't decided if I'll see her on tour yet (which feels insane to me when she's one of my all time favorite artists), but I want to make sure the setlist isn't just AOP and like the more annoying DC tracks like I Got the Juice before I commit to going.

and i hate it because that basically means i have to wait ~12 hours later after it comes out (aka about friday night/saturday in my timezone) to listen :gaycat6:

Those short ass song lengths have me worried. Grace Jones being on a 35 second interlude? :chick3:
