The direction of this album... 

 

What is going on at Atlantic records? First Charli had a sell-out era and now Janelle as well? As long as this is a bop i dont mind. + she looks amazing

It’s serving music you when you go to Target and I’m scared 

[madonnas]

This sounds better than Float but something about janelle + sellout just doesn’t work.  She’s a nerd! She’s eccentric!  It feels like it is taking away from her best qualities.  

[Price of Fame]

very confident that this album will continue her downward trajectory quality wise. 

 

but she'll always have the archandroid, not everyone can say that

[Taste of Honey]

If someone told me back in 2010 that she would serve this one day I definitely would not have believed them.

we basically have the full song now

This snippet made me think it would be some kind of RnB ballad. It reminded me of an early Beyoncé. Too bad it sounded so much better than the real thing.

[Hector]

A chill summer bop, but nowhere near her best. And wow at the video 

 

 

[Bussea]

the video

[Sabandija]

I guess the entire album is going to have this feel... 

 

She looks so fine in the video.

[masochizm]

her decline in quality is absolutely insane. this **** STINKS.

[Armani?]

Surprised this didn't even enter Apple Music R&B Top 200

[Theshigo Washidu]

This isn't bad, but it definitely feels weird to see her making this kind of music and the social media antics she's been on.

It all seems below her.

Girl what... not her getting the chloe bailey treatment with these viral tweets and zero streams

[kandicha]

the song is okay but i'm very worried if this is the best the album has to offer 

 

that said, she looks so good in the video 

[Karla Cabello]

i never liked her music. she always seemed to tryhard, but that album cover is gorgeous. i love it. and the song is cute too

what a downgrade from dirty computer

Wait I love this actually  much better than Float but I can see why people would be divisive about this sound from her. I like her trying more mainstream sounds, as long as it sounds fresh and interesting. Float was already dated on release lol so I hope the album has more to offer.

[Slap]

I can’t help but feel Janelle has significantly declined in the quality of their output. I have really enjoyed all of their studio albums, but this song is so basic and the lyrics are cringe, it’s fine but it’s not unique or creative at all. It feels like fame and money eventually really changed them.  
 

That said I will keep checking for them but this and Float suck, it just feels like they ran out of ideas or something? Janelle’s last album and Yoga were a great examples of how they could do a more mainstream sound while still maintaining their essence as an artist.

y'all seemingly weren't here when they sang an entire song about the color of their *****

[politeone]

The music video was insane,my goodness

This entire album will probably be reggae inspired, judging by the end of Float and this single. I'm probably in the minority but I enjoyed Float immensely, fun and catchy and overall a positive message. Also I loved it's production, a banger tbh.

This one isn't up there, but I don't mind it and hopefully it grows on me

You get it!

Unpopular opinion, but this is actually a really cute summer bop  MUCH better than Float!
