stochastic Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Which highly respected musician turned freelance producer has spawned a more controversial/polarizing record for the pop girl's respective discography? Discuss! (Radical Optimism isn't out but we've basically heard a third of the album so we can extrapolate how the rest of the album will sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eternium Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 will.i.am wasn't the issue with Britney Jean. The issue there was that Britney had her freedom stripped and she couldn't put any effort into the album. We don't even know if she even attempted to record a few songs on that album. Sweetener is half unlistenable, so it may be my pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvadaKedavra Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) All of them are awful William productions are really generic and sometimes just straight awful Pharell has more inventive productions but they feel very cheap and amateurish beats. Like he needs to polish the songs. He was good when he was in the neptunes Kevin is a fanstatic producer with his music but with the popgirls is a no Edited April 15 by AvadaKedavra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonedIvy Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Kevin is talented but I think his work just doesn't mesh well with the mainstream. But that's not the main issue with Dua this era, it's the disconnect between the visuals & the music, + the lack of thematic growth. Hallucinate or One Kiss could slide right into this era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercurialworld Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) Kevin & Dua literally gave us Houdini so please remove him from this! Edited April 15 by mercurialworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaunzie Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) In terms of sheer and I mean SHEER disappointment, Kevin Parker because ain't no way the singles should sound this generic with him at the wheel. Like Dua where is your All these bangers and bops and you give us Training Season, Houdini and Illusion? Like where is Psych Pop, WHERE ARE THE BANGERS?

Bey_Rihstan Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Britney Jean is one of the worst albums ever tbh. Like... Even if Britney had sang those songs produced by Will.I.Am, They still would've been garbage. Dua's songs aren't Bad, just blah and Ariana's work with Pharrell was good, just an acquired taste. Clear winner here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudbusting Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Sweetener is my favorite Ariana album and Radical Optimism is shaping up to at least equal Future Nostalgia for me, so Myah Marie is the only option 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAg Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Pharrell's songs on Sweetener, in addition to the three singles, are the best songs on that album and are all discography highlights Kevin's production for Dua might take some getting used to for some of y'all, but I think it's pretty great Britney Jean was obviously a f*cking disaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Cash Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) Blazed is one of my favorite Ariana songs, what others did Pharrell produce? Either way it's impossible their work could possibly be worse than Britney Jean Edited April 15 by Johnny Cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
