Alex Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Attention served as a buzz single and introduction to the Scarlet era, which was retrospectively the most controversial, risky and entertaining era in recent memory from any pop or rap star in years. Ditching pop-rap for boom-bap and slowed harmonic hooks, shaving her head and eyebrows prior to and debuting her new alter ego, Attention alienated certain fans and was a precursor (or warning) for what was yet to come. Thoughts on this underrated classic today? 2
dejmieeen Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Well, I guess not many of us expected her to have two smashes this era. 1
Illuminati Posted June 19 Posted June 19 The thumbnail still gets me Didn't care for attention but Demons and PTTR were great

I thought its gonna be the typical 4th album curse but she proved us all wrong. It felt like she was trying to flop so bad but she got her biggest global hit outta there
selena_lavigne Posted June 19 Posted June 19 It's the way they teased an album that was like classic 90s full on rap that was unconventional and it ended up being right in my lane. 1
D.Va Posted June 19 Posted June 19 I still remember how happy I was when I heard the Nicki M line. I was sure a collab was on the way 1
NumbSoul Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Love this song so much One of my faves of hers! And such a great introduction to her best album! 1
SapphireSky Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Wish I could listen to this for the first time again. One of her best

I was sure a collab was on the way I have a feeling that if PF2 dropped in 2022 I'm almost certain Doja would've been on there lol. Kinda a kii how she moved on from Luke as soon as Nicki went back to him tho, but i'm sure its way more complex behind the scenes.
Kern Posted June 19 Posted June 19 I remember how ATRL was switching on her every other week depending on how "Attention" was doing nnnn 1
