some solid tracks and some are straight skips.

I agree with most of you. The album is way too long. He could've delivered a very strong cohesive 12 track album.

 

It's sad because I feel like this project it's going to make zero noise. I hope he dosen't give up and keeps pushing singles.

Finally got the chance to listen to this in proper stereo and I must say I kinda loved most of it. Definitely should have been much shorter tho. 

I'm still bopping to the songs that I like. Solid effort. I finally got into Ruin, I hope it becomes a hit on Urban at least. 

Expanded Edition

 

+

Believe

Naked 

 

 

oh damn !!! two more tracks  

Both songs are good, very r&b

“Glu” and “Boyfriend” are not on the expanded edition? 

Boyfriend is terrible, 2004-sounding in the worst way. Surely it's gluttony wanting it on there lol? We're already at 22 tracks. 

 

Sidebar: Believe is a bop!

Why would this song make the cut??? It’s objectively not good. And GLU was ignored by the public so of course he’s not going to stick a year old droplet that flopped onto an already 20+ song tracklist. 

Believe is really good, and better than some of the stuff that made the standard album. They should push it. 

I am obsessed with his new album. I ended up just making a 15 track album on my Spotify playlist getting rid of the filter.
 

Whew it flows so much better! He really gave us quality! So proud of him!

I want to add how did (Sexbeat) bomb its amazing 

I really love quite a few songs on here, but man, the album is so bloated. A solid 13-track album with 2 or 3 bonus tracks would have sufficed. And now there’s 2 more songs? I- 

 

Let me check them out!

It truly is a mess how BIG made the album over Believe and Naked. Both of which, are top 5, at the very least. 
 

He should be pushing Ruin, Kissing Strangers, and Believe moving forward. 
 

Ruin is #1 most added on Urban Rhythmic Radio and Kissing Strangers will impact radio this coming week.

The best songs for sure. What’s the US single currently? & what’s the international single? I’m so confused.

Is this era finish? 

Love Kissing Strangers

Well after this I think it's safe to say he's never releasing another album again. 

 

People went on and on about him not releasing an album in 8 years and how hype they were, but when it was time to support the music where was everyone?

 

Finally checked this out and it's... okay. Some highlights, but pretty patchy overall. Second half is definitely stronger.

 

I'll be keeping: Good Good, Kissing Strangers, Keep on Dancin', Risk It All, Stone Kold Freak, the run from I Love U to Margiela, One of Them Ones, Standing Next to You (I hate how much I liked this one ).
