Devin Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 this album has that classic 90s/00s r&b feel omg. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabandija Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 This album is everything I asked from music. Good melodies, riff runs and big vocals. I'm sick and tired of slow, whispering, boring songs with no vocals from R&B girls. I'm glad Muni gave us this album. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 It sounds too much like a 2008 R&B album, it's too derivative I do like Things I Never Said and Waste No Time, though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mons†er Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 The album sounds very dated to me. As if it should've came out in the 2010's. 'Superpowers' + 'Ruined Me' are top tier though. 'Superpowers' reminds me of 'Wait For You' by Elliott Yamin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 surprised to see Saweetie on the writing credits of The Baddest, was she supposed to be featured? On Bessie now and i'm vibing with this so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetsexysavage Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I got goosebumps throughout Superpowers. What a beautiful opener. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ne1k Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 I'm more than halfway in and I'm enjoying this album a lot. It's cohesive but not one-note. And it's enough of a departure from PDA while still having her stamp. The only thing irking me is the album cover with the rounded white border. It's so 2013 IG coded. If anyone has a good alternative, let me know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvenOCEAN Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Oh my gosh, Superpowers is that 90's R&B throwback I live for Genuinely can't get over how good that song is. Of course Brian McKnight co-wrote it. This and Ruined Me are best R&B sogs released this year, that is after Tems' Burning, which is THE song of the year.

Although I'm not amazed by the rest of the album apart from the first three + last track, but this is SO on point. Somebody had to say it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That outro when the instrumental winds down and she goes "la-ooh" (the Brian McKnight interpolation), the adlibs, everything is perfect Edited August 31 by OnlyRealMusic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That outro when she instrumental winds down and she goes "la-ooh", the adlibs, everything is perfect That note on the bridge is my favourite part. I like how most of the songs build Up and they end with some vocal showcase. 'Played Yourself' reminds me of Tinashe. I can easily imagine her singing this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Nino Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 The album is so bad. R&B artists today do not know how to make albums. Do they want to be rappers or singers? 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TryMe Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 So many good songs. I like all of them, except Waste No Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabandija Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 It's so hard to try and chose singles from this album. For me the best songs are: - Made For Me - Make Me Forget - You Ruined Me - Superpowers - Revenge - Leave My Baby Tonight - Type Questions Even 30's and Bessie have some potential.

freshoutthebuffet Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) Anybody calling this album "dated" or dragging it for sounding like early to mid-2000s better not praise any of these white pop girls that are doing the exact same thing The album is great Edited August 31 by freshoutthebuffet 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massive_Teardrop Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Really enjoying this album. Yes it sounds a bit dated but her productions, the catchy hooks, her consistently transcendent vocals really flesh out a full experience for me and I'm here for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just begining to watch but I LOVE everything she says about music, her music influences, what she thinks contemporary music is missing, the importance of vocals...
