Afterglow Posted June 14 Posted June 14 (edited) 7 hours ago, Ms.cleo said: Lmao I think you have confused her talent to perform and captivate an audience with being a popstar. The same thing is being done to Normani imho. Janet has done many genres but she is R&B at the core, she has literally been a huge innovator in contemporary R&B. I don't think y'all know what R&B is lol edit: maybe it's because she has crossed over into mainstream appeal and that's what y'all mean by popstar but her music has never been purely pop to me at all. It's always R&B influenced with whatever other genre it's in Do not agree, especially as someone who physically owns every Janet Jackson album and is probably her biggest fan on this forum. She is a pop star through and through, and again she has said so herself. Stop lumping all black women into R&B girls (yall do the same to Rih). Janet Jackson is a legendary black POP star. Pop is literally a mix of genres. Stop this blasphemy. "it's important to note that Control's self-actualization anthems were expressions of black female pride. Control spawned a whopping six videos—great ones, at that—which played an immeasurable role in the shift toward visible black pop Edited June 14 by Afterglow 4

mxoonlight Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Wild Side playing at the end legit feels like my husband returning from the war. Get your gorgeous ass over here. What an amazing first outing sonically. So frustrating she had to go through so much drama to get to this point but the music is truly excellent and I'm really glad it got to see the light of day. Even 1:59 sounded way better as an album track vs. standalone. I honestly loved all of the songs but top 3 from the new stuff would be Still, All Yours and Lights On. Distance and Tantrums honorable mention! 3 7
Meowfie Posted June 14 Posted June 14 All yours is amazing and Candy Paint new version is a smasha wow , congrats Normani! 1
Meowfie Posted June 14 Posted June 14 Also if you guys have a streaming party , can you put some of my songs in ? lol
Uncatena Posted June 14 Posted June 14 she kinda ate! it was kind of impossible to live up to the long wait but the album is SOLID. it kind of gets repetitive towards the end but overall, im liking it.
holyground13 Posted June 14 Posted June 14 I love this record so much. My only suggestion would be some extra tracks in the style of Candy Paint because that's one of my favourites of hers. My suggestion would be to listen to the record with the bass boosted because I think the bass is a really important part of this record - the production has decided to have the bass and Normani's vocal as the key parts of the track so I think boosting the bass makes it stand out more and have a more sublime, satisfying listen. I think it was worth the wait in theory because the quality is great. However it would have been great to have a body of work out in 2019/20 so that we could have tracked her progression as an artist. Hopefully she has some visuals coming! 32 minutes ago, Afterglow said: Do not agree, especially as someone who physically owns every Janet Jackson album and is probably her biggest fan on this forum.

Her work is pretty much halfway between pop and r&b in my view. I think it's debatable what genre she fits most into, which you could say about a lot of other artists too. I definitely agree with the idea that people tend to think black women = r&b and white = pop, there have been so many amazing black pop artists. 6 1
Stellar1103 Posted June 14 Posted June 14 She did what she had to do with this album. I need to give it another listen and let it process. So far, I'm loving it!! 2
