WHAT!? I didn't expect that so quickly. None of the pre-release tracks have bowled me over, but I'm always here for new Mary.

Yeah, this song "Rent Money" just plods along... I don't like anything released thus far from this album. Great cover though!

So far "Amazing" > "Good Morning Gorgeous" > "Rent Money" but all three are in the 6-6.5/10 range.
I don't know what to expect from this album. The rollout reminds me of her Stronger withEach Tear era. I hope mother Mary could at least serve something for the dancefloor a la "The One".

"Rent Money" is my favorite thing she's done in years....on repeat. I love the horns. A vibe.

“Rent Money” is hilarious and amazing! It’s giving retro R&B meets OVO. And she continues to drag Kendu! I got a divorce from his cheating ass only to have to pay his bills! Right up there with “Kitchen” for me!

I can't believe people on here don't like Rent Money. The production, the way the horns are slightly out of key, the piano, the lyrical content.. It's bluesy, jazzy and Mary soul...Good Lord. Especially on that Bridge. 🔥🔥 This song got me in a chokehold..

I don't know about "Rent Money"...D'Mile is a great producer but I don't think his style and Mary's go well. She sounds bored on this and "Good Morning Gorgeous" like she's only turning in the assignment to pass. That vibey thing works for H.E.R. but not a passionate powerhouse vocalist like Mary.

Especially on that Bridge. 🔥🔥 This song got me in a chokehold.. This. And the low energy of the vocals works in its favor. She was impassioned on Strength of a Woman because she was still in the "thick of it" but there's no need to give K*ndudu that much energy when he's the topic of conversation now.

Like I said in the "Rent Money" thread, her energy on this is so low and uninspiring. She sounds bored. Cute sample, tho. What happened to that raw emotion and soul she used to pour out on "My Life"?? It's greatly missing on this.
"Good Morning Gorgeous" is the only one I really like so far. I like the sample on "Amazing" since I actually grew up with it, but the song itself felt very underwhelming and messy. It just didn't work.

The low energy definitely works in her favor. Especially with this production. I definitely feel her soul on this one! Especially on the bridge

This is interesting...I'm actually underneath a hair dryer at the hair salon right now as I am looking at pics of her at a hair salon. This really hits close to home! Especially the posters on the wall! 🤣🤣🤣

The road to self-acceptance and truly loving oneself is often a struggle, but I wish Mary would rock her natural hair and eyes more frequently now that she admits she finally feels beautiful. She's rocking colored contacts all the time and she wouldn't be caught dead without a blonde wig on... 😐

"Mary’s struggle to love herself extended to her natural hair. “It felt like cotton,” she explained “My mother pressed it, and she put all these ponytails in it. It looked nice when she pressed it, but when it was kinky, it just looked nuts.” She added, “Because of the texture, growing up I always wished I had wavy hair. Every little Black girl wanted wavy hair.”
I can so relate to all of this. Before I had transitioned to chemical relaxers as a teen, it was such a huge emotional burden for me. I felt like I was suffering on the inside. Trying to maintain my extremely thick, unruly hair. I literally felt I had a huge ton of bricks towering over my head.
