EarStyle Posted August 8 Posted August 8 I know the fans are going to have a fit that Redemption is short.
Alex Posted August 8 Posted August 8 Just finished my first listen and I'm pleased to report that I enjoyed almost everything this album had to offer. All of the collaborations were either inoffensive or actually contributed something to the song (Halle we love you!) and there were very few songs that I would skip. That being said, this album is once again predominantly R&B, long and midtempo, which I feel is something we've been missing recently and does require your attention. Personally, I would chop Same Lingerie, Moments and Somebody to make the album less bloated as these were the low moments I found inessential to the album. Moving onto the highlights, Want Me just further amplifies how ready we are for another Chloe x Halle album, easily one of the album's best highlights and I predict will be the most discussed track here. Strawberry Lemonade sounds like her take on Say So and hearing it now for the first time ever makes me even more confused how it didn't make the tracklist for In Pieces, but I'm so glad she saved it for this album because it definitely needed an uptempo moment in the second half. Rose, Favorite and Never Let You Go are all amazing cuts and I think a lot of fans will gravitate towards them. Redemption is unfortunately the only interlude-length track on here besides the intro, and I feel like she needed to flesh both of these songs out more, a similar problem I had with the interludes on In Pieces, we just want the full songs lol. There are a few seamless transitions on here such as All I Got -> Might As Well and FYS -> Nice Girls Finish Last, which make the album a lot more immersive, lowkey wish we got more of them so it could be more consistent. Overall, a lot of the problems I had on In Pieces seem to be course corrected here, and the slowest moments tend to be the dullest. If anything I just wish we received some more female collabs, like Tinashe and Ari Lennox would fit like a glove on some of these tracks. I definitely will be spinning this for the oncoming few weeks, a great redemption (no pun intended) for Chloe! 3

ultraviolence.xx Posted August 8 Posted August 8 JUST when i thought the album couldn't gag me again...
PartyFavor Posted August 8 Posted August 8 On temporarily single and already this has been more for me than in pieces
PartyFavor Posted August 8 Posted August 8 Wow. Sorry to spam. I am actually blown away. This way more of what I wanted from her. I hope people give her another chance since her debut didn't resonate for a lot of people including me.
EarStyle Posted August 8 Posted August 8 I saw folks saying there were too many slow songs etc on here and the say so-lite song should've been more of the vibe and....I listened to the previews posted a page back and the project sounds so good. The slow R&B jams sound realllllllly good. I figured if folks on ATRL didn't like it, it would be more my vibe lol. 1
TalkThatRihanna Posted August 8 Posted August 8 (edited) Overall this is very cute. More consistent than her debut, but not as many highs tbh. Best songs are All I Got, the 2 Singles, Temporarily Single, NGFL and Somebody. Edited August 8 by TalkThatRihanna

XXI. Posted August 8 Posted August 8 i hate to say it, because i really want to like her... some of the songs are cute, but she has yet to top 'have mercy'. 1
TheBoss Posted August 8 Posted August 8 I'm sorry bit IDK what some of you are hearing, most of these songs are Body Do level of good, I'm honestly shook, loved the project 2 4
OnlyRealMusic. Posted August 8 Posted August 8 (edited) Better than "In Pieces". Really like "Temporarily Single", "Shake", "Nice Girls Finish Last", "All I Got (Free Falling)", "Never Let You Go", "FYS", "Moments" & "Might As Well". The weakest songs are "Boy Bye" & "Strawberry Lemonade". I like when she does pop, but these are too generic. But overall the album is such a step up from her debut. Edited August 8 by OnlyRealMusic.
hallucinate Posted August 8 Author Posted August 8 halfway through the album and it's already better than in pieces 2
