Still holding up strong with folks buying with their money.

 

 

They need to discount it so it can boost some sales. I'll probably buy it on Tuesday... Was hoping there would be a digital (on her site) or CD but oh well

Tantrums really grew on me. Giving Rihanna needed me vibes. Starting to really like Little Secrets but I can't put my finger on what it reminds me of. Timbaland beats? Janet? I have no idea but I want to love it

This is such a good album for the summer! It may not be number 1 on the charts, but it will be number 1 in this household!

Amazing. Can't wait for the first week numbers 

The album will have longevity since it's already recieved well and there are potential hits on there.

Distance really grew on me

The Dua print 

I've always been a firm believer in the fact that almost all things are spin-able, so I really don't feel the inevitable low sales will be doom or gloom. This is clearly a soft launch.

 

My only gripe is that Mani hasn't gotten in front of it. 

 

I really feel that from the onset of the album being announced, she could have used savvy wording to stress that this is an "artistic statement" rather than being defined by sales. The girls would have tugged at her, but they'll for sure tug at her more now should she come with that AFTER the album numbers roll in. 

 

Still, because the album is receiving great reviews and word of mouth, that hopefully will be louder than the noise shading the numbers.

Just came here to say the album is better than expectation. I actually quite like half the album and they certainly chose the weaker songs as singles. This album really just needs one hit song like Motivation by Kelly and this will serve artistry. Strange that can't find a RNB hit for her, wild side was the closest thing and this album should be released back then.

Not a bad album, but she gives 0 effort, like none

I wonder what the numbers would've looked like if this came shortly after WS

Candy Paint is such a bop (I never listened til now nnn) 

 

I like a handful of songs alright (other highlights include Take My Time, Insomnia, Distance), but I also feel that much of it lacks a specific POV. Like anyone could record the many mid-tempo sexual songs. I'm hoping her next album will have a more unique perspective.

 

What are the debut predictions for Billboard so far

I really think this album is superb for a debut. Only problem as many mentioned is that it sounds like an album of a seasoned artist and not one who would theoretically neeeda big hit to launch her even more. But perhaps shes not expecting that. Great music - the album run from All Yours to candy Paint is chefs kiss

The record have potential longevity and hits

She needs to release the Candy Paint or 1:59 video this week or next.

This album is so consistent like....???

Also the mixing on candy paint sounds actually listenable now lol

Do we know why "Fair" was excluded from the album?

Taking back my review to say i think this is a middle of the road, ordinary, and bland album overall. It has it charms but it's not something i gravitate towards playing. I don't relate to the lyrics at all.
