TryMe Posted August 28 Posted August 28 It's still has the same vibe as crash, A lot of distorted elements if that makes sense, but a lot more rnb.
Sabandija Posted August 28 Posted August 28 Does the second verse of SINGLE sample Brandy's Sittin' Up In My Room?
YoungDreamer Posted August 28 Posted August 28 Idk like I always get dissapointed with her slow jams... But I love the uptempo songs a lot and I'm glad to see many Dixson songs on it 1
YoungDreamer Posted August 28 Posted August 28 52 minutes ago, liquiddiamonds said: I have a feeling Crash was the album the label and her wanted to make to bank a hit and then it didn't happen and she's back to her roots. It fits her best Idk if this is the case here. She randomly got married to Mariel Gomerez, who is a big music executive on Roc Nation AND Parkwood, and this connection ended up with her getting a Roc Nation management deal and Mariel becoming Kehlani's A&R for Crash. Now Mariel called their marriage fraudulent, asked for divorce and also Roc Nation dropped Kehlani this month. So with this mess, a tour about to happen amid other messy stuff happening over the past few weeks, it feels more of a panic situation than anything else, especially since some of these songs are kinda old (which give the "back to her roots" vibes to this project). 2
Taste of Honey Posted August 28 Posted August 28 I'll check it out later. RPG was my favorite from the first one so hopefully something comes close to that for me.

Quite boring tbh. SweetSexySavage remains my favourite project from her. 2

I like her old uptempo songs like CRZY, Get Like, Too Much (which actually sounds like Aaliyah) and I Wanna Be. because it is inspired by (if not sampling) more than a woman. kehlani's old music was good, she's really lost me over the years but i'm excited to check this project out

glitch Posted August 28 Posted August 28 Is it just me or does the mixing sound really off? Almost muffled or LQ... 2
Alex Posted August 28 Posted August 28 21 minutes ago, glitch said: Is it just me or does the mixing sound really off? Almost muffled or LQ... was just about to comment on this finishing my first listen, the drums are way too loud on a lot of these songs and the mixing is generally a hot mess on most of this mixtape. Know Better's production being botched compared to the snippet that was shared weeks ago is also a massive disappointment. With my complaints out of the way, I can say this project is really a slow burning vibe and I can definitely see a lot of these songs going on my vibes playlist and this is way more instant compared to Crash so that's already a win. The remixes were not needed on this project btw.
jakeisphat Posted August 29 Posted August 29 It's way better than Crash, but it's not giving WWW1. In fact, WWW1 will likely remain her magnum opus and I don't think it can be topped. The choice to release this only 2 months after her newest album in 2 years still doesn't really make sense to me. I can't tell if it's damage control for the response that Crash got, or if she's signaling a long wait until her next studio album. 3

OhMyAlf Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Really enjoyed this, not a popular opinion butI really enjoyed Crash for what it was, and this almost beats it for me 2
BlowYourMind Posted August 29 Posted August 29 There is a solid album between this and CRASH…I just don't know how to put it together
Doogle Posted August 29 Posted August 29 yeah in full this is way better than CRASH with more replay value but the criticism is that it lacks any big hitters or discography highlights. It's solid R&B tho and I loveeee 1
Love Drought Posted August 29 Posted August 29 I'm only halfway through and I'm sorry this eats. Might end up in my top 2 from her alongside God Water Road.
tylermw Posted August 29 Posted August 29 ot: why are there two threads for this? i'm just not sure what the point of releasing this was
