Pitchfork gave this a Best New Music tag with an 8.6. I listened to it a few times on the plane ride home (granted, I was high as a fucking kite) on Sunday and then once again when back home. Did Summer Walker write this?? I wouldn't pay this a lick of attention if Summer was singing, LOL. She sounds FANTASTIC though and I like the production. Some of the tales made me laugh as well. Solid. In love with Lost One, Pick Up Your Feelings, and The Other Side.

I like the album! I’m just surprised that this is the project where her label finally decided to give her promo.

She's seemingly transitioning into the streaming era much easier than I thought she would, based on the type of artist she is.

Ugh. Remember when she almost hung it up after Love me Back? I'm so glad she's been steadily climbing. She's also really overhauled her image as she's matured and shed some pounds (not that she had to).
The tales mixed in with the album tracks is actually not as unpleasant as I thought it would be listening to this again since it's all a running theme.
I don't think On It is as vulgar as some of you are saying - it's sexual, but not tasteless. But, I was also all about it when Beyonce gave us Rocket. So, maybe I just like to get my freak on.

Such a brilliant record that had to grow on me. The concept of the project is so creative and it was executed incredibly well. I just love that Jazmine is never afraid to dive all the way in when she plays these characters. She commits to the roles: the confidence, the grittiness, the vulnerability and suffering. She's done it on a few tracks for every album, but it was so enjoyable to experience a concept fully explored throughout an entire body of work. I just appreciate her artistry.
And I so appreciate that she's receiving success through the streaming era! It's exactly where her music can shine, because most of these records would have no chance of making waves on radio. I feel like the records on Reality Show slipped through the cracks because there was no place for them in the traditional avenues (urban radio had just begun to no longer play r&b and her records were too 'current' for UAC outside of Let It Burn). Brand New and Mascara in particular should have been HUGE hits! This feels like a bit of redemption. I hope we get continued promo as well as some actual music videos. And I've also noticed nobody's speaking about Put It Down, but it truly is that song!! Don't sleep!

I just watched her Tiny Desk session and...the performance of Lost One brought me to tears. Also, Girl Like Me was a masterclass in singing.

Unbelievable for her to have all of this success! It was like the industry was waiting for her to return. It’s so bittersweet considering “Reality Show” was such a stunning album that went completely under the radar.
Nevertheless, I’m excited for the buildup towards her next album.

As a fan since day one, this is so exciting to watch! I remember when she said it was no fun anymore after Love Me Back underperformed and it made me really sad, because she's extremely talented. After all these years, she's back! I hope Grammy finally offers her some consideration!

Its still ludicrous that Holding You Down nor Bust Your Windows weren't bigger on the Hot 100. I do believe both were big on Urban format but the charts were going back into a primarily pop dominate era at the time so its just one of many casualties.

I've been a fan since '04 when she was a young 16 year old singing the life out of Back Stabber. So good to see her being welcomed back with so much love and attention.

Never in a million years did I think she would get to sing the National Anthem at the Superbowl. Absolutely insane. GOOD FOR YOU GIRL!!
