I can't even rank the songs on this album. What a flawless masterpiece. AOTY material. My favorites are:
1. Wonder What She Thinks Of Me (a f**king MASTERPIECE. Song of the Year Grammy material) 2. Don't Make It Harder On Me 3. Lonely 4. Forgive Me 5. Tipsy

It's fantastic. soulful, tuneful, and the fact that they wrote and produced it is amazing.

I will give this album a listen. I was obsessed with "Happy Without Me" from the first album and the new single "Do It" is pretty good.

Usually when I get an album, I try to make it all the way through just to take it all in as a body of work. I couldn't even get past the first five tracks on this one because I kept wanting to press repeat and go back to the beginning. This is SO GOOD, not a bum note to be found. Their first album didn't do a thing for me (maybe I need to revisit?). Hopefully this breaks them through as artists (and if not, hopefully TLM does the trick).

Dang, I can't believe how much I've been missing r&b like this! Quality melodies with incredible vocals with impeccable production! Ugh!! I can't even choose my favorites. I'm wishing they get some breakthrough, because I need visuals for Busy Boy, Ungodly Hour, Don't Make It Harder On Me, and LONELY! SOOO many potential hits! This is an album deserving of an actual era.

I agree with you all, this album is so good ! It's short but effective. I can listen to the whole album without skipping any tracks. The songs flows into each other well.
The title track is probably my favorite song at the moment, it's such a mood.

"Do It" is one of the best songs of the year. Love the GLAAD Awards performance, the vocals, Spice Girls homage and Drag Race girls (the stiffness is forgiven Naomi).
Now I have to listen to their catalog.

Argh, I wish I f**ked with vinyl. I just need to get used to this streaming/digital only thing. I'm just old and stubborn.

Would they be in the same categories as Jhene (if either act is nominated, of course)?

Their first album Kids Are Alright got the nomination in Urban Contemporary Album I believe, which will be rebranded this year as Best Progressive R&B Album. I can see both Jhene and Chloe X Halle in either that category or the Best R&B album category, and I quite frankly don't know what the difference is between the two.

The main difference between R&B album and progressive R&B album is that R&B album is meant for albums that are traditionally R&B with little elements of other genre while the later is for albums containing elements of R&B along with elements of other genre.
