I'm enjoying the album a lot! But I'm understanding the discourse with just how strong the first half is and then it kinda devolves.

Why? What should have been the lead? I tonight the song was fantastic & she looked stunning in the video

I don't really know. Walka Not A Talka sounds like Pussycat Dolls' Buttoms but I Am, Still A Woman and No Touchin' could've worked.

The first 4 songs make the album so promising.

A genuinely solid album. Happuy she's back to releasing music.

I think the first 8 songs are fine then it changes. I actually just watch an interview with her & she literally just said she wanted the first part of the album to be a mix of old school & later half to be R&B. So that explains everything it was her intentions which makes the experience better .

Around the 6 min to 7 min. Listen to that whole min she explains her intentions.

Love Mya, genuinely a good album but omg I'd kill for another K.I.S.S.

I wish the whole album was more upbeat funk. Those R&B tracks ain't doing anything to me. Anytime is probably the biggest snooze. I don't even know what's going on there and why is it 5 minutes long. First half is really strong though. Especially Masterpiece.

I'm loving this—but Mya has always been my number one! It's more instant than Smoove Jones and TKO for me, and I agree that the first half (Give It To You through ASAP) is the strongest part of the set. Anytime and Just Call My Name (I love it, but it's 6 years old!) could have been cut, for sure. Face to Face leans into her cheesiest instincts (see: Paradise, Space and Time) but it's cute.

Smoove Jones is one of the best albums ever. It's also very enjoyable, but I don't think it will age that well because the first half of the list already sounds 2010's.

I don't know what she was thinking adding these 3 songs. Maybe she was scared of what the streams would look like without them. It makes no sense & in all honesty it keeps me from listening to the album too much filler.

I think the video needed a roller skating scene.

I've always been a fan of Mya and have enjoyed her indie career so much, she's such a talent and I'm just so grateful she keeps putting out bodies of work like this, she's a treasure.

Love me some Mya

I don't get why she chose this as a single instead of Masterpiece or No Pressure.
