"Meltdown" is the only one besides "Lose Control" whose memory I can still summon.

Under Construction is probably my favorite album of hers. The Cookbook isn't amazing, but it isn't bad, there's way too many good songs on it.

when she revealed the Graves disease a few months ago it sounded like her condition had improved to the point that she was all good to resume her career

"9th Inning" is the lesser of the two but still a lot better than I expected from that clip.

These songs will sound so massive on club speakers.

i like both of these. 9th inning does sound way better & triple threat is pretty cool. kinda funny to see them doing the houston thing (pimp c quoting, still tippin nodding) but it sounds pretty unique

Triple Threat is good. 9th Inning, not so good.

cautiously enthusiastic about these, i think the direction is welcome and she sounds way less clunky than on anything else she's done since the cookbook, but i don't feel like they're quiiiiiiite at the level that i can really really get hyped. something still a bit effortful about them.
timbaland's verse on "9th inning" is so unwanted
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 08:42 (eleven years ago) link
basically i kind of feel like both of these are on the level of say "on & on", which is...fine, i like it, nothing against it, but it's hardly peak missy

Ha, no. Tim coming back on some "Can I talk my shit again?" is so much better than...well, whatever the hell else he's been doing lately.

it's not peak missy clearly, but that's a pretty unfair measure. good rap music tho.

now that she's been really good on radio hits in the past year or two by J. Cole and Fantasia i kinda wish she'd just do a full-on R&B record with zero Timbaland input, i think that would be so much better than any of that "9th Inning"/"Triple Threat" type shit.

She seemed so happy to be there last night. Like, "hi everybody, remember me? No? Well, I'm happy to be here all the same!" (waves) Her stuff sounded so cool compared to Perry product and Kravtiz crap.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 2 February 2015 16:20 (nine years ago) link
Not a football fan, so I only watched a few minutes of the game. I looked in at halftime to see what Katy Perry was wearing. I liked this line from the The Guardian: "Wearing a startling, waist-length hair weave, her salvo of 'Get Ur Freak On,' 'Work It' and 'Lose Control' almost steal the slot from under Perry’s nose: almost 15 years since they were released, these songs still sound like the future."

Yeah, her VH1 'Behind the Music' a few years ago covered that (and was also otherwise great and informative). You should hunt it down.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 2 February 2015 18:31 (nine years ago) link
yeah she started talking about the Graves Disease in 2011 and how that was part of why she hadn't been releasing new music. then she said she was doing better and released two singles in 2012, but they didn't really take off, so now we are 3 years later with still no news about the album. hope she's doing better healthwise.
― some dude, Monday, 2 February 2015 18:32 (nine years ago) link
I thought she denied the Graves Disease thing at some point
― Οὖτις, Monday, 2 February 2015 18:33 (nine years ago) link
Visuals great, verses aren't bad I think but the hook is sooooo boring that it's hard to get motivated to listen to it again to where the details of what Missy is doing would actually sink in and stick with me.

right? granted i wish that version had a little more space in it, but i would love for Missy to make a Yeezus-esque record with best producers from the edges of dance music.

Listening to Supa Dupa Fly this afternoon (which came out 20 years ago!) and it still sounds so good, both the songs and the production. For all her great singles and songwriting, I don't think she ever made a better album -- but that's not a knock, it's just that I love SDF so much.

Good interview.
Who else have you been working with?
Timbaland, of course, and then the guy Lamb. I kinda keep my circle small because there’s not a lot of people who think crazy or weird like Missy. I’m sure there is, but I haven’t ran across ones that think weird like me. When it comes to working with outside producers, it’s very small.
