This. Rebel Heart actually has some really great songs structurally and melodically but the sound quality makes every song sound like a demo.

So a 6 part documentary and then the full concert show as well? Oh wow!

Oh thank God! So is this replacing Play This Song then?

Thank you! That helped put into perspective the magnitude of her numbers! this album will have legs - there's at least 3 huge smashes waiting on this album.

I know Ophelia is streaming absolutely massive numbers but can someone give me a comparison of how many streams a normal song gets like maybe last week's big hits so I can see the impact? I'm not knowledgeable on what big stream numbers are generally or maybe what a big album last week like cardi's got streaming wise?

I think it samples Jackson 5 "I Want You Back"

So glad you have Father Figure stuck in your head too!!! I feel like no one is talking about how catchy that one is OMG. It's been ALL day for me

The album just keeps growing on me omg. opalite, father figure, and wish list are my current never ending loop of repeating songs. Opalite definitely needs to be the next single BTW! Or at least the third single

I'm surprised she said she would be open to it! I feel like she's been asked this before and she definitely didn't give that type of response, it was more along the lines of NO.

Opalite and Wood on repeat for me! also, Father Figure suddenly joined those two and is on repeat? I'm confused because it gives the facade of boring midtempo but it's one of the catchiest songs on the album, is it just me?

I LOVE Janet - she is solidified in my Top 3 favorites for life. But I'm soooo sick of the residencies and tours for the past 8 years. Same songs, same shows… PLEASE give us a new album. It's imperative at this point. Her brand needs to be fresh again.

The post was edited 2 hours ago to include that information. It originally showed 5 million streams for the album. No need to be rude.

Ever since streaming took over I have no idea what's good numbers or not…. what's the translation? Smash hit?

Right, the album being named the same thing as an EP that came out 2 years ago now? It's just so confusing, and the title CiCi was never a good one to begin with. for me personally I am not trying to chase nostalgia, I genuinely love all of her albums up until and including Beauty Marks. Something shifted around 2020 in her music, I think the first time I was disappointed was with Rooted and then it kind of went downhill from there with a few cute songs here and there

Damn what is going on in Ciara world?!? I'm a HUGE Ciara fan and always look forward to her albums and releases but yes - the recent music for years now have been extremely mediocre. I checked Apple Music for the new album mid-July and then saw the date was changed but that the track list looked the same…. Blah. Loved her new interviews though, especially the Last Meal one. But she barely speaks about new music and when she does it seems more business than creativity or passion.
