Damn, there was like zero buzz for this new project so I'm not shocked by the low first-week figures.
I need to give it a listen, but I'm lacking motivation because none of the pre-released tracks interested me.

Whelp...other than Motorbike (though Miguel does it better) and Sweeter, he can keep this. Boring, uninspired, and lacking any flavor. I can't believe the man who gave the world River and Mrs. is responsible for something so lackluster. It's not like Leon is the most...passionate of singers to begin with, but I still expected something more dynamic than this. Very disappointing. Stream Deadpan Love by Cautious Clay!I'm a trash person, just ask SHOOTER. I second this being his best. I needed a 2nd listen, with headphones this time, to fully appreciate the magic that was crafted in that studio. Props to all involved. But, still stream Deadpan Love. Just support Black Excellence all around. Also, this is the sexiest Leon has been. He sounds INCREDIBLE.

And, yes, I echo that this album is also his sexiest work yet but in a very smooth and confident kind of way. The sex is in the details. 😏

Details Sho Nuff Blue Mesas Steam Motorbike Don't WorryDamn, Shooter was right! Just WHO picked those singles for him? Also, they’ve only pushed one song to radio and it peaked top-3 at his core format so, at least on paper, it wasn’t a total bust.

I thought this album so far was fine. I haven't finished it yet but it wasn't a bad listen by any means. He sings well & the production is there. I'm not sure I am vibing with the lyrics yet.

Yeah, so I think this album might be strong enough to upset Snoh, Jaz and H.E.R., especially with that George Floyd inspired first single.
This album was really nice too.
