#2 on Apple Music; #4 on iTunes. Hoping SPS will be in her favor.

Nope! She could've put 2-3 of these short ass songs into a cute medley.

I don't know this girl other than the Fade video, which is amazing, but this is pretty solid!

I really like her, but she has yet to impress me musically outside of a couple of tracks. This falls right in line with almost all of her other material, listenable, but EH.

I enjoyed this, but it's just way too short to be considered a real body of work. Hoping and expecting another project soon, because this isn't gonna sustain me!

I'm liking the album with more listens....but I hate the 3Way song. So corny.
I also hate the song for Junie. I hate when artists make songs about their kids. Nobody cares.
Those two tracks should've been replaced with 2 uptempo's.

Those two tracks should've been replaced with 2 uptempo's. Jhene Aiko Promises and Alicia Keys When It's All Over said meet me in the parking lot at 6! But naw for real my issue is it going from that into WTP. Who thought of that sequencing?! I can agree with you about 3Way. The phrase "get up in dem_(fill in the blank)_" just makes me roll my eyes every time.

She says it all the time on his Instagram. Girl, shut up lol. And agreed on the sequencing! Going from her daughterβs voice straight into βWHAT IS PUSSY!?β πππ. Regarding the album now.... Bye

Well you know, I'm not too upset about that. If we are getting more songs, bring them. While I may love this now, most of the songs feel like fillers for what should be a 15 tracks album.

They really wanna start calling 8 tracks an album? These girls are playing way too much.

After a few listens, this has grown on me. I think Kanye did a great job with production and she sounds great. But this "mini album" was the wrong move to make at a time when she could potentially blow up as a huge star. I think it's smart to go back to the drawing board and release a full length proper album. I would extend the tracks we currently have and bring some more producers on board to fill it out to make a real album. As some have mentioned, the sequencing isn't the best either. That jump from the song dedicated to her daughter to WTP is a bit much...

Also, did anyone else get 2004/2005 Brandy/Kanye West vibes from this? Her tone along with Kanye using more old school beats really reminds me of the work that Brandy and Kanye did back in the day.

I mean it's not HOPELESS album but the fact that it took four fucking years to release THIS makes it all, well, pretty hopeless.

If anything on this was as hot as "Talk About Our Love" I would actually feel slightly better about this project. Unfortunately, that isn't the case.
