only listened the whole album twice. So far the last 3 songs are hitting the hardest for me 😍😍😍

queen really delivered!!

The intro to Sunglasses immediately had me hooked, really enjoyed the rest of the song too.

Empty Stadium and Brainrot....easily two of the most sonically engrossing songs to have come out this yar

So, while I do like this, I was expecting something a little different. Some more Melatonins/Crash Outs cause that's what the singles were kinda giving imo.

That being said, this is probably her best album production-wise! I smell Nightride (her best album imo) and Joyride all over this. It's like a re-upped and revamped baby of those two albums.

Surprised at Cloud 9 hate, it's a clear standout to me, along with Sunglasses, Brainrot, and Nobody Wanna Dance Anymore. Empty Stadium is lyrically strong, I feel for her.

All of the singles also remain standouts on the album too. I'm going to need some more time to digest the album but atm I think it's in her top 3 albums, but probably behind Nightride and 333.

I am scared about the pitchfork review. They have been so quiet this era.

I expect ~7

I highly doubt it'll be lower than that, but I don't see them giving it above an 8.

The OG tracklist flows amazingly even with Empty Stadium as track 2 and Twentyfive Eight/Heavy Weight at the end. Makes me more curious what that cut song was

Popstar and Nobody wanna dance anymore. My god

Remix version of Popstar & Brainrot; I think we're bound to get those at some point

She just keeps getting better and better with every album, I'm still not over BB/ANG3L yet and this blows it out of the water.

Anyone else surprised she didn't have a visual ready for release along with the album? I was fully expecting a Popstar MV considering she was teasing that song so much since the start of the era.

She talked a lot about wanting the album to speak for itself, I don't think we're getting anything so soon

flashbacks is such a standout like whew its like a weird hybrid mix of donk but bjork ?

YES banner iktr

Haven't had a chance to listen to the album yet but listened to the title track because of how much I've been anticipating it and damn

She's being way more honest and explicit in her lyrics than before

Holy f***ing ****!!! This is sooo good. Banger after banger, jam after jam. I think I'm going through break up rn, so I'd Rather Be Alone is just doing things to me rn, cause I'm that ******* *****, as my girl Tinashe. What a blaaast.

Heavy Weight..

Amazing album, Sunglasses, Nobody Wanna Dance Anymore and Empty Stadium are insane She just keeps evolving and making statements, and it feels so organic every time

her consistency is insane, she really never misses and it feels like her only competitor is ever herself

il be back with thoughts soon, really enjoying this as i always do with new tinashe. arcanashe is crazy

So proud of our mom. We've come so ****ing far. OG sweetees, you know where we've come from, I see yall, enjoy this moment, it's for us. No matter the numbers and what the critics say, an album this good with so much goodwill feels like the peak of her career... so far, for sure!

Nobody Wanna Dance has been on repeat all day!

Great album, definitely 8/10 for me.

Was expecting more bangers, but the hooks and melodies are great. Something about the album gives me Fantasea vibes in certain moments.

Oh my god i love me some good lore!! So apparently they're saying when Tinashe was in the studio recording Nobody Wanna Dance Anymore, it's being reported that Britney Spears was actually in the booth and they had her apply her p u n a n i onto the mic while Tinashe was harmonizing and they came up with something absolutely magical!!! wtffffff i love that so so soooo much for them
