In the Name is listed on the album sticker. Could be part three in the series.

"Grey" is my fav track right now, but this album is better than I was anticipating. It does have a laid back feel that a few times turned it into background music, but overall I definitely like it!

Either something was off with my headphones today or does this album sound LQ to anyone else? Like the vocals were recorded on an iPhone while the mixing was being mastered in somebody's garage. Anyway... Sheesh..I'm so disappointed with this album. I've been anticipating it for so long and it's just one big snooze fest. Such a chore to even finish it all the way through. Zero stand outs for me . I LOVED her last album, one of my favorite R&B albums. But this....this ain't it :( .

I'm still processing the album but "Grey" is my absolute favorite.

I don't know what album you all are listening to, but this is s solid effort. Something for all ages.

Now I want Grey as the next single! I'm so confused by which one is my favorite now. Loving You had me doing a slight twerk this morning. My initial reaction may have been a little too harsh because I'm warming up to more of the album with each listen.

The album is solid. She brings me back when you could get some good/decent contemporary R&B despite it is has minimal trap beats in it that you can easily listen through.
"Grey" is definitely the highlight for me. Honestly, I feel the album eventually starts at "Used To" (which is best track on the album), I don't care for the track in between "Used To" and "Grey". The latter should definitely be a single even though I do not see it doing well on urban. I could see "My Love" as a single too and could do better on urban with a feature. I love "Weekend", "Higher" and "Loving You". "In the Name" is cute too. "B2L" is understandable as why it was first.

Gotta chance to listen to a couple songs. Vocally, she sounds better than ever. Some of the songs could've done without the trap infusion. It's not a bad album but it's not all that great either. It's decent like the rest of her solo albums.

I will say this much, I've been listening to her first two albums along with this one and she's really grown as a singer. She was kind of wobbly on those first two, she seems to have really found her sweet spot vocally. She's using her voice right now, very smooth.

Although I much prefer Used To, ITN is the smarter choice as a follow-up to B2L for Urban AC (although Show Me and Grey are screaming to be singles).

That's what happens when you don't promote your album outside of Instagram.

Great video, but the utter disrespect shown to Grey! That song deserved the full treatment!
