I really hope this will grow on me and it probably will with more listens, but on first listen every song sounds more or less the same six thirty, nasty and off the table are my faves after one listen

Def will. I'm starting to differentiate them on my 3rd listen now

[Royalty 101,256]

My favorites & the ones that stood me by the most after a first listen:

- 34+35

- off the table (probably my fave from the whole album)

- safety net (ty dollar sign FINALLY sounds normal)

- my hair

- nasty

- love language

- pov

 

I absolutely love the vibe of this album, it’s so laid back and slow, it’s definetly her most mature album but she still sounds very authentic  I definetly stan this, I don’t think it’s her best album, but I will play the shit out of this that’s for sure!

It's like folklore. Giving it a skim isn't gonna do shit for you

[Paranomin 1,059]

I actually don’t like it. I didn’t finish it. Very boring and sounds the same as her other stuff. I like motive tho

I liked Folklore on a skim  

This whole album was pretty one-note for me

Yeah. It’s super safe and generic. Wish she would change her sound more. I find thank u next, sweetner and positions all sound the same

Absolutely agree. I think she just feels safe within this sound, which is fair since it does so well for her, but I'd love for her to take some risks at this point with her sound. She has such a strong voice and I'd love for her to experiment more.

its...boring imo

I’m curious how well this album will do since it sounds so similar. For me I thought of an artist constantly dosent grow sound wise they usually tend not to do as well cause people get sick of the sound 🤔

i think it's stronger as an album than it is individually! even tho i like songs like motive, safety net, positions and pov a lot, i thought the album had no real highlights? i had no issue with the track lengths at first because a short song really can work, but i don't think it did with this, you can tell these songs needed more time to expand on themselves but by cutting them short they just don't give you much... the songs are short and also feel very one-note throughout for me. what the album really does shine in is with her vocals which are easily her best in any album, but i think she traded off more rich production, good lyrics and melodies (like in positions which is easily the best song in here for me) in favor of that

i don't know if the album was actually rushed, but it sounds like it to me, i'm pretty let down from my first listens but i'm sure it's gonna grow on me with time

[Jake 19,199]

I refuse to listen until the 30th

[Gilly 11,547]

um this album sounds like something you could play at work as background music  on first listen, it sounds really bland. I wish the album was more like Nasty... she should've went full vulgar. I can see why they picked positions as the lead, it's really the only single worthy song on the album.
