I've liked everything I've heard so far, looking forward to this album.
Not gonna lie, I'm peeved that "Been Thinking" isn't making the cut though. Twas a bop.

I’m OBSESSED with EVERY song she released so far omg. “On and On” is my favorite as of now and it’s the most commercial one imo. It has so much potential to go viral.… it’s even better than water.

I see they cut the previously released singles “Been Thinking” and “Girl Next Door”. “Been Thinking” is a total BOP and “Girl Next Door” is a cute mid tempo maybe they will be bonus tracks or something.

That stinks! I hope she has a quick recovery.
The tour cancellation aside, I feel like they failed to strike while the iron was hot with this album. Back when "Water" had great streaming/virality was the perfect time to drop this and do the promo blitz. It feels like her momentum has evaporated, banking on a second hit might have been a fail.

Ugh. She was one of my must-sees at Coachella. I pray she recovers soon.

Where is the promo? Artists and labels are so lazy today.

This is a very self-assured debut. It does get a little samey in terms of production (exactly why "Been Thinking" should've been on here, ahem), but it's such a lovely vibe and there isn't a bum note to be found.
I know she's sidelined at the moment, so I hope something catches on and keeps this afloat in the meantime.

Yeah, a lot of the production of the songs sounds the same . . . but it's not like they're individually bad. On first listen, I didn't really hear a bad song, per se. This is a good album to put on, vibe out, and complete a task.

Just finished listening to the album. I am liking it so far, but I agree that most of the songs do sound the same, but I like them. The overall vibe of the album is very good. It's very chilled and laidback.

It's amapiano, a sub genre in Soutn Africa, that gives a chill jazz, house vibe with piano, drums, and synthesizer. Similar to a riddim (Sean Paul "Get Busy", Wayne Wonder "No Letting Go", Lumidee "Never Leave You").

OK yes, listened and I see now. Like that looping reggaeton drumbeat. THANKS FOR THE MUSIC SCHOOLING (genuinely).

I'm not surprised by P4K's score. This seems like precisely the kind of project they would go for. I ordered the vinyl, based on the clips. It sounds so smooth!

This is...EXCELLENT. However, the vinyl got THREE versions of Water. The official one, the Travis Scott remix and...Marshmello?! No trace of No.1 on either the vinyl or digital download from Amazon. Also, on the vinyl, ART comes before Jump. Also, on the vinyl, Priorities comes between Breathe Me and Butterflies, instead of between On My Body and To Last. I actually like the vinyl sequencing better, other than the missing song and additional version of Water. We get it girl, that song is hot. I also love how she didn't JUST give amapiano. To Last was such a vibe. The whole album is a no skip. But wait, the Marshmelllo version of Water kinda slaps?
