Silhouette, THTILH or Unhappy should set her on the right track. Also they sound just right for the fall and winter season. but lets acknowledge the fact that her album is slaying Niger

The ratchet/pop bops like Work From Home, 1000, and Boyz In The Huh-AWW are hot and, to a lesser extent, RHRN (because it's not sooo ratchet, not because it's any less hot). They all sound like Jordin. Even though I enjoyed Double Tap That Ho initially, I do agree that she could have left that and IAY off or kept them as mixtape only.

I have a feeling that BITH is the one.

Anyone else see her hosting that America's Dance Battle thingy on ABC last night? Seems like she's moved on from the album already.

This album should get some shine. It is really great and her label will be crazy to let it go to the wayside. I can see "Unhappy" on urban and "Tell Him That I Love Him" to urban AC. This is how R&B music should sound and I have to say I'm impressed with this album. Crazy that I think "Double Tap" has the best melody (that pre-chorus reminds me of something that Mariah would do) on the whole album, but it sounds like cheese alone though yet it works on the album. I find it strange that "Casual Love" is the most interesting sound that she has done; however, it is the most boring song on the album, which is a compliment. I enjoyed the whole album and love a bulk of these songs. Who would have thought Ms. Sparks will make me such a fan of hers? I usually only like a track or two from her, but this album is amazing. The ratchet tracks are good; they just don't work as singles though. Her label needs to do something and quick.

The ratchet tracks are good; they just don't work as singles though. Her label needs to do something and quick. This post is on the money! The album really is Jordins best work but it feels like her and the label have moved on. I'm hoping that they are just planning something. Or hopefully she'll get some succes with the Thomas Rhett collab and refocus on her own music. But she's posted about the album once in the past couple weeks, not including the occasional retweet. Even my sister loves the album and she naturally dislikes any artist I like. But she owns a copy of the album because she likes it so much. I feel like Silhouette, Unhappy, and BITH could at least be modest hits. Even THILH for the older crowd. This Contemporary R&B is Jordins lane. But there is nothing we can do if they don't want to. P.S. 100 Years is the most boring song for me. Though Casual Love is probably 2nd as it just doesn't seem to go anywhere.

Unpopular opinion here, but 100 Years is my favorite song. She sounds like Aaliyah so much. Other faves are Unhappy and They Don't Give.

Over two months and this album still goes in. She is trying for Jaz Sullivan's crown as my favorite album this year

Was at Carmax an hour ago and "Tattoo" came on in the background. I tried so hard to focus on the employsd's words, but my head started drifting elsewhere.

What ever happened with "They Don't Give" after it's promising start at Urban radio?

I know her label is small but its upsetting. Her releasing 3 singles that were on the mixtape is also upsetting. This era contains a great variety of fresh potential singles. I want at least for her to spit out 2 or 3 singles and a tour in 2016 before ending it

I'm ready for pop Jordin to return asap. She can do a POP/RNB album like she was originally planning to. Surprised Before It Breaks didnt leak
