I love the new EP. Her label better continue to push her material. She's gonna help revive R&B for this new generation. I love how hood-phisticated & mellow her sound is.

Going through my first listen but I just had to say that Usher remains the feature killer that he is! Whew... he came through on a flip of his own track, U Make Me Wanna, and murdered the track. A single!

Now #1 album on Apple music, she's surprisingly strong there actually, I remember "playing games" being in the top 30 or top 20 the majority of the time.

her voice on the part on "like it" when she sings "tell me how it feels when i throw it back" is so so good, heavenly voice.

I haven't heard everything from the album yet, but she's giving me major SZA Ctrl vibes with this album and I'm living! Love everything I've heard from this album so far.

I don't know how I feel about the album. In a commercial sense, I understand why it is the way it is (short songs but more tracks to take advantage of the way charts are run, overuse of auto tune, helmed by a predominately rap producer, etc) .. but those are the reasons why I'm underwhelmed. I feel like she sounds like everyone else. Not that she has some super unique voice, but she's actually a solid singer. Also, her other projects had more alternative elements than this does, which I found very refreshing. She does try to incorporate that in some of the later songs on the album, but it takes too long to get there.
On a positive note, there are several radio/streaming hits here if they play their cards right. Which, I guess, was the point.

^idk production wise i really like the use of autotune and vocal layering that's on a lot of tracks. for example on "stretch you out" before the chorus when she sings "and when i feel like this...". the layered vocals are a big part why i enjoy this album so much.

Production is moody as expected. Typical R&B album with lazy production. It’s cute.

Playing Games Body Come Thru Stretch You Out Just Might I'll Kill You
I do not like this album as much as her mixtape and EP, for some of the reasons mentioned above. Also I think her label does not handle the release like she's the next big thing. She has this amazing buzz going on for her just like when SZA and Ella Mai dropped their debuts, but this project feels very much a non-event.

#2 debut with 134k SPS (14k sales); biggest debut album from a female R&B artist in 10+ years (haven’t had time to fact-check); biggest debut streaming week for a female R&B album ever (154.7m followed by Lemonade with 115.2m); and 2nd biggest debut streaming week for an R&B album ever (behind Starboy with 175.2m).
Wow!

On a positive note, there are several radio/streaming hits here if they play their cards right. Which, I guess, was the point. It’s weird because I agree with what you are saying here. This album definitely brings her more in line with current R&B trends (I mean how many “oh my god I love me some fuckbois but why do they treat me so bad even though I can do tricks in bed while making money and being loyal this is why I don’t care about anything - listen to me while I moodily whine about it in mid tempo” chicks can we possibly have in one genre lol) But i still love this album. It’s a quality version of the formula for me. LMAO
