I'm on the fence with this one. I understand both sides of like and dislike. I'll give it a few more listens and then decide whether I like it or not.

That video was hot! I can already imagine people doing these new yoga moves from the video at their yoga classes, starting riots left and right, getting everyone all hot and bothered and s**t. The video treatment fuses the camp of "Physical" and the heat of "Sexercise". Janelle looks super sexy.  I have only recently gotten into the fabulousness that is Janelle. I am screaming at the ridiculousness of some of the lyrics. "Baby bend over, let your booty do the yoga"  I didn't know that one's booty could perform the downward dog and the Parivrtta Janu Sirsana without the rest of the body doing something else too. #YouLearnSomethingNewEveryday What the hell is "get off my areola"? Is it a reference to this meme? I just can't. The vocals are good. I'll give her that. But I just cannot get into the song because of the lyrics. She's treading into "Cookie" and "Marry The Pussy" territory. It's unsettling given the brilliance of her last record. The production is mushad and jejune. It's so Garageband circa 2002. Maybe she's just throwing a Jidenna a bone and saving all the good lyrics and productions for her own record.  |

Video already surpassed 1 million views...that has to be a JM personal speed record...
Also, currently at #109 on iTunes.
Not a single spin in sight. Never change radio. The blacklisting of Janelle continues...

I cannot believe Pop has not spun this yet or did at all. This song is a HIT! Like ugh...why are they being so resistant towards playing Janelle?

Wait. This is her most radio-friendly single, probably ever. If handle well, it can be a big hit.
If this for a new album?

Glad it's managed to chart!  This song could be huge if the general public ever actually get to hear it. |
