Nippy'sReceipts Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) 5 hours ago, Lose My Breath said: same, it's very sly and the family stone I love the funk, and it only makes me even more excited for her rock album Same. I know the rock n roll album is gonna be funky and crazy. I expect a Ike and Tina Turner nod on it . Little Richard as well. They were the real kings of Rock n roll (Ike Turner, Little Richard, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry) not Elvis. Ike and Fats Domino are also Creole so I know she's done the research. Creoles are responsible lowkey for rock n roll. I always wondered how she would come back after Lemonade dragged Jay lyrically to doing the typical pop/r&b love or infidelity songs but it seems she just got even deeper and has even more to say since. I'm really loving seeing her growth and how she has so much to say Edited April 3 by Nippy'sReceipts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily by melody but more so by aesthetic and feeling? Interesting. I can definitely hear it. It's the haunting melody 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nippy'sReceipts Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I can definitely tell Cowboy Carter was supposed to be the follow up to The Gift and Black Parade.”I'm going back to the South where my roots ain't watered down". The Gift was about the African diaspora and then CC was supposed to be about America/country roots. Then, Renaissance like Harlem Renaissance is supposed to be about the Great Migration up North and the dance music made in clubs from NY, NJ, Detroit, Chicago, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's WRONG about SHB though No matter if people agree or disagree, at LEAST Fantano clearly listens to the projects he reviews and has formed an opinion based on the music and not outside factors/politics. This already gives him instantly more credibility than 90% of other publications 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not need Linda telling me that genres are a funny little concept to go from Cuff It to Energy or to go from Break My Soul to Church Girl and I don't think it's needed here either, it's a decision that won't get better with time either imo. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogle Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Yeah Fantano is pretty spot on but he is wrong about SHB. I've had Buckin on loop all day. Look at that haws! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I don't get because she literally made Lemonade 8 years ago with no issues lmao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be completely honest, I don't get Spaghetti right in the middle of the album when she's gonna go back to Alligator Tears, Just For Fun and II Most Wanted that fit just right with the songs before Spaghetti. Specially when Spaghetti is not a stand out song either, It takes 40 seconds to begin and the outro starts 1 minute after. Again, I agree with Fantano's commentary about the flow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Spaghetti has a cinematic purpose - I envision her running wild and being totally badass after (imagining) killing in Jolene. I get Tarantino vibes from it for whatever reason 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This exactly the type of music he would use to score his films. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
