R.E.M. Posted March 8 Posted March 8 1 minute ago, Tyrion_LMG said: Well, despite the great production, her vocal capacities on this album are far from being impressive. I mean, where are the adlibs here? Vocal production is super flat and last choruses lack something that don’t manifest except some tracks like Supernatural and yes, and? She was blessed with a voice that is not showcasing here as it should. And yes, she sounds amazing anyways because of that talent she has, but… Melodies are great and lyrics seem well written (I’ll pay close attention later). However, I was expecting an album full of bombastic pop, even more when you look at who produced this. It’s not very far from Positions vibe but all decorated with synths (trap beats are still there in some tracks and R&B melodies are predominant). I will need time, but yes, and? remains my favourite here by far and the route she should’ve followed for once. You're entitled to your opinion but her vocals are stacked on this album. There are tons of different harmonies in the background that lead to a really rich, full vocal production. Just because she isn't belting doesn't mean she isn't showcasing her vocal talent. 1 1

Elusive Chanteuse Posted March 8 Posted March 8 This album is really good. Nothing I skipped outright. She sounds beautiful.
toast Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Just now, GardenPanty said: supernatural has such a nostalgic feel to it 4
suburbannature Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Does the title track sample the Eternal Sunshine movie score?
motomami Posted March 8 Posted March 8 I'm so excited to dig into this over the next few days. Sonic excellence and great songwriting The melody on the 'don't wanna break up again' chorus and third verse is heavenly

Blade Runner Posted March 8 Posted March 8 The only thing I don't like is the last song being basically this with the voice memo recorded by the grandmother.
SimpleKindofLife Posted March 8 Posted March 8 yes, and? is still a skip but there’s at least 8 tracks on this album that i’m immediately into. definitely a cohesive and well produced album but not very in your face. it feels like positions with some synths added
Doogle Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Also the way Max stans and R&B stans are always at war but we’ve managed to get a masterpiece that gives us the best of both with 90s R&B pop and it’s fully realised where sweetener and positions felt half baked in parts. I’ve waited her whole career for this since I first stanned Yours Truly as a teenager. idc I’m emotional about it 2 2
qurl Posted March 8 Posted March 8 the fact that this album is almost entirely self written ……. she is OWED an AOTY nom at the very least
rivingtonrebel Posted March 8 Posted March 8 Just finished the first listen and now on my second. It's her most cohesive work to date, and probably this will be one of her best in the long run. A career highlight in her discography if you ask me. Favorites upon first listen are: Bye, The Boy Is Mine, We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love), Imperfect For You, and Don't Wanna Break Up Again. 1
