The packaging is cheap as hell (couldn’t even bother to print an insert) but it sounds good!

My copy of Libra is finally shipping - I got an email to update my shipping address since I moved.
Also, my intuition - based on nothing - is telling me that she's working on an album for release in 2023. She's had it much more together with recording since LMD came out.

My heart skips a beat every time i see an update. From your keyboard to god's ears. She needs to comeback and give us Bruno Mars R&B and not HER-esque R&B. The last album did absolutely nothing for me.

She looks two decades younger than her actual age, it's incredible! Happy birthday Toni!

Great 90s (and early 00s) memories of Toni for me with her albums and dance mixes. In the late 00s I had also a chance to see her on her Vegas show. It was a great experience!

Ariana Grande and Aaliyah ahead of her? No wonder people have been calling this "list" bull****. #JusticeforCeline I am surprised RS put her on the list at all, the magazine is full of idiots and pseudo-intellectuals.

Episode 10 - Satisfaction's GuaranteedNo one's listened to this episode yet. :'( Thanks for the reminder, as I usually listen to podcasts on Apple versus Spotify! Really loved the look and reflection into the album. It’s been one of my favorites and I agree that Toni always makes solid albums. Never really realized how the album can be broken into an angrier first half and a more love-based second half. “Lies Lies Lies” is one of her masterpieces, wished more people appreciated it. With it being one of her longest tracks, I always kinda pair it up with 702’s “Places” which is another long jam. I liked the “romantic drama in a Wild West” comment for “And I Love You” and with it being the lone Babyface track, I get the sonic connection with it and TLC’s “Hands Up” from that same year. Always wondered what the album would’ve been like with the original title “Amplified.” Tried looking for why it got changed and found an old article where she said because LA Reid told her Q-Tip had already released an album with that title. I wonder why artists back then didn’t want to have similar album titles. Another tidbit from that article:

Another tidbit from that article: Thank you - I would have to download the episode segments and remake them with Apple's music library to host the podcast on both platforms unfortunately. I forgot about the original working title and that seems an especially odd response since her album was the same title as an Aaliyah single released earlier in the same year.

Oh wow, I forgot that album’s era was during Aaliyah’s self-titled era as well. But yeah, I mean, fans won’t mistake an album for another if it had the same title. I wonder if there was like a bigger issue back then in terms of choosing an album title.

I went back this past weekend and listened to her last two albums again and both were very good and underrated projects.
Any news regarding new music?

She’s no longer listed on Island nor Def Jam’s roster so who knows when we’ll get new music. 💔 I was honestly surprised she dropped an album so soon after Sex & Cigarettes.
