im kinda in shock that gala sounds like the only big song on the album. they should've gone HARD on this. that midtempo sugary r&b/pop/trap crossover is played out.

I just read that jesse boykins III produced most of the album. let me check it real quick.

I love her discography to death, but sadly I'm not feeling this one. It sounds a bit random compared to her previous projects (and I'm including the EPs as well). There are so many forgettable tracks and so little of the usual passion and sultriness in her writing and production. Aside from a few highlights, I don't see myself replaying it.

the different tracklist is a common thing nowadays but yes I will be mad if the exclusive tracks are any better than the standard ones. lol

I get her vision for eusexua, but it didn't click with me. I have a sense that afterglow will bring more of the melissa flavor and I'm very excited.

whaaat? where?

people did like it? I thought the overall reception was pretty lukewarm. lol I think it's a decent throwback song, but I'm sure the album has superior material. "ex" was mid af and yet the album delivered.

yes. there's a few highlights, but the overall result is very mid. I blame jack antonoff limited vision tbh. the right lineup could take it to a way more fresh and experimental 80s pattern.

help. I misread "daniel moore II".

the tracklist looks sooo promising. I love to see anderson .paak, d'mile and bongo all over it. it's shaping up to be a consistent record packed with some luscious r&b midtempo tracks.

dirty work is amazing. I hope the new EP keeps that same energy.

the interludes are way too long. cmoooon… I get the vision, for a first listening is cool, but she should've kept it for the visuals. that aside, the album is REALLY good. lol love the production, the samples. so sexy, solid and sincere. no fillers. way better than "the album" tbqh.

not when GTFO is the best one here.

I swear to god… same. my last tiny bit of hope is that the new tracks (including the bonus tracks she will release on monday) are actually good enough to replace these kidz bop…

a mess and a half. to think her discography was pretty much flawless until jackie.
