One thing that's driving me absolutely insane is the split audio in Blackbiird in headphones. The guitar only in the right ear for the entire thing genuinely makes me want to rip my AirPods out hahaha Just listened in headphones for the first time and oh my god you are so right. The tapping in the left ear is awful. Ameriican Requiem might be the best song she has ever made. So cinematic and epic. FYI, the original Beatles version has the tapping sound too. It was done purposely. It was Paul McCartney doing the foot taps in studio. I’m glad that she kept it like that. So many highlights on this Act! “American Requiem” is definitely one of her best songs EVER.

Loved this as the opener and it leads PERFECTLY into “Blackbird”. I still need to digest but what an album!!!

I love both songs. But “Texas Hold ‘Em” is my favorite. I wasn’t ecstatic about a country inspired album but I’m all for her exploring her southern roots. The Louisiana boy in me is happy about that. Might not top act i for me but I’m super excited for this era. I’ll only be pissed if she delivers visuals for this act and not the previous one.

Every single remix EP from the Butterfly era is flawless. Fight with your daddy barefoot in traffic if you disagree. Yes indeed! I also love the fact that the release of these coincides with the anniversary week of the original “Honey” release date (8/26/1997).

I’m so enjoying these anniversary edition EPs. I’m totally reliving my childhood, especially with this week’s releases. I remember when I bought all of the original releases of them.
I remember getting the “Dreamlover” EP on cassette. “Anytime You Need A Friend” remix package is her best ever, IMO. And I’m a sucker for the “Never Forget You” remix. It sounded real nice on R&B radio back then. And it was like a precursor to her and Jermaine working on Daydream, for which I’ll always be grateful for.
I’m assuming “Slipping Away” will come up soon since it was originally released as the B-side to “Always Be My Baby”. And I’ll be floored if she puts the “Underneath The Stars” remixes up, too.

This thread is too much! I really like their cover. I think this is HOT! NO it can’t touch the original (who in their ever loving mind would hold out hope for that) but I respect their tribute. The hate is ridiculous.

It's there! but on Love Will Never Do single! I paid hundreds of dollars for these Japanese import CD-singles back in the day. AMAZING that they are now on Spotfiy. These are among the greatest remix EP's ever released. Yes indeed! Just last year I went for broke and completed my collection with the “State Of The World” and “Alright” EPs. I’m floored that these are now available digitally.

I’m still reeling from that speech. It was like a sermon. Loved it! And I could tell she was all nerves during that performance. I’m very proud of her.

Say what??!!! Let me cop these right now! I’m just in awe of this power move. I never really looked at JoJo as a child artist when she came out because she sounded like a grown ass woman. I was walking around in my mid to late 20s just bopping to both albums without a care. I LOVE HER.

Were Janet and Kim Fields really good friends. There are so many pics of them together in the 80sz Kim’s mother, Chip, played Janet’s mother on Good Times so it’s likely a friendship stemmed from there. And Kim was on a few episodes, too. She was one of Penny’s friends.

This was the track I was most excited about and it’s probably my favorite on the album. I’d kill for a video on the same level as “The Roof”!

This album is giving me life and it’s everything! I’m very satisfied with it. It sounds fresh and current but at the same time it has a late 90s R&B vibe to it. I need a full album with Dev Hynes, please. And Timbo impressed me. It’s been a long time since he did it like that.

They can keep that Christmas album. I’m gonna need them to rerelease her last several albums she recorded for Atlantic in the late 70s. It’s pretty ridiculous that you can’t purchase her #1 R&B version of “Break It To Me Gently”. I know it wasn’t a successful period for her, but still...all of her other albums are readily available.
