I wouldn’t use “atrocious” to describe any of those pics.
The album will probably drop in March.
And Remy spent the holidays at the IV docs so she might be pregnant right now. Which would make sense as to who she did all the videos for the singles already. I don’t see her dropping a video at the same time that she drops the single. They’ll probably save the video for th LHH reunion or something.

I think this will do really well. It should, anyway.

This will easily be a urban smash, but she isn't going to even sell 100k first week with this.

Yeah, this is gonna slay urban. Remy doesn't have a lot of crossover potential (just realistically speaking, trying to push her there wouldn't work in 99.9% of circumstances regardless of the material) so she needs to focus on streaming and this is the perfect direction. I just wish she would have picked someone other than Chris, but I don't expect his presence to be a problem for her. He sounds good here.

Other than chris ? He’s the biggest male singer on urban radio in the last 15 years. She got the perfect person. His “presence” dominates urban and even rhythmic.

I don't expect her to be a pop artist, but this gives me "Money Showers" teas. I wish she would do something with more of a bop to it.

Hence why I don't expect his presence to be a problem. I wish she'd picked a different feature for my own subjective reasons, I'm entitled to that.

Yeah, not sure of the mileage she'd get out of a Bryson or Miguel feature, but I would have liked one of them on the hook. Maybe even Ty $ Sign. I'm just exhausted with Chris, but urban obviously isn't and I'm not gonna pretend I dislike this snippet at all so I'll deal lol

Remy never wanted to be some crossover pop star so I dunno what the debate is about. And lets be real, a song called "Melanin Magic" would never top the pop charts any damn way. LOL. Now if this flops on Urban, then yeah, sis needs to "hang it up, flatscreen." But I don't see that happening with her now having the push from a major, and the song featuring the biggest male in R&B. Plus the initial impact of "Wake Me Up" def shows that people are at least interested in what she has to offer.

I don’t think anyone is expecting her to be some popartist, but someone like Kendrick was able to smash with “humble” and still be very urban. There is a balance and an art to making a record that’s going to sell your album. This isn’t going to sell albums and when she flops every other major label is going to think twice about signing a female to a “multi million dollar” deal.

Eh. I wouldn't say that's a fair comparison when 1. Kendrick is a male, 2. he was fresh off a an Award-winning streak, and 3. his presence was even bigger thanks to collabs with Beyonce, Taylor Swift, The Weeknd, and Maroon 5.

It's definitely a Urban hit, she killed her verses(she sounds different), and Fist snapped. I like "Wake Me Up" more, but that could obviously change cause this is brand new.

Not saying she would have the same level of success. I’m speaking about the sound of the song. She can make a record that is urban but doesn’t sound exclusively urban. It can have mainstream appeal and still be a urban record.

I like it, wish it had a little more Remy though. This reminds me of something that would smash in ‘08.

I don’t mind this, but the sample makes it. LOVE the Mint Condition song. Remy’s flow on this is subpar for her.

The sample is everything but I don't like Remy's flow and how Chris completely takes over the song at the end. I guess. Hope it hits.
