SHANELL _ NOBODY'S BITCH _ ALBUM OF THE YEAR

you don't hear... the lyrics?

i mean if you have an alternative reading that you feel the performance or production inadequately dramatises i'd love to hear it

perhaps not if it's going to take 40 posts painstakingly extracting it from you though

The lyrics are sharp! I love the doctor bits. I was trying not to rely on lyrics though.

I mean, I hear what you're saying about exultant-verses/flat-chorus, willing herself to have a good time. I'm just not transported, although I'll listen to it again.

I did hear a bit of Dawn Richards' cyber-erotic devastation in "Last Time" but she's bawdier, and that's a plus.

dawn hasnt really crossed my mind at all with this, i guess when prompted i can see where the mentions come from on the face of it but shanell's viscerality completely takes dawn out the picture for me

kalenna though would certainly be viable

thread of the century, album is top 5 just for it

the possibilities become endless

well this is great

this is great for sure. need to have time to really dedicate to listening to it, though. so my proper thoughts will come in a day and a half.

This album can't possibly live up to this thread

This album can't possibly live up to this thread

that's what i thought!

and it didn't! though they complement each other nicely

what is good about this thread, or do you enjoy reading people trying to be "funny" with lamentable results

my fault for putting aoty in there :/

that'll teach me to be enthusiastic

c'mon rtc, it's not as if you haven't cut down many the enthusiast in your time.

i prune for a brighter tomorrow not salt the earth out of boorish spite

Lol but also otm

Skimmed a bit of the album on soundcloud; this does have a certain appeal. Will investigate further tonight

have we discussed the female empowerment angle yet?

Instead of critiquing this album, anybody who is not a fan should just post an animated gif of a woman angrily swinging an axe any time it is mentioned.

rtc telling alfred to leave the thread inspired real lols, lex

The cover got me in, reminds me of possibly 10 things that I'm probably recollecting wrongly.

And yeah the tone can be aggressive seeming but then more quiet and the wistful piano touches in so mopey too. From a listen there are more mooods once you go further in.

The 'speaks...' stuff in it is great. Gives the record a shape.

this thread is hilarious and raises the question: is the message board format doomed to always eventually become an ouroboros

i liked something
-one person

we already 'did' liking something
-other person

idk what the best track from this would be to introduce people to shanell? "fuck me daddy" is obv stunning but might be a bit too extra...think it might be between "on the one" and "360" with "turn up on him" as sleeper choice

ya i would say "on the one" or the one w/ busta

On the One. Like a summation of a few moods and emotional registers in one place.

also, her terrifying nails in both

obviously i am still MASSIVELY ON this mixtape, in terms of songs i'm especially on "360" and the way it basically sounds like an r&b jerk song then the beat goes into nola bounce

^^INCREDIBLE new song

^^sweet new song

^^new mixtape that i can't listen to yet (honestly i work in an office for like 5 days per year and it DOES MY HEAD IN not being able to LIVE like a NORMAL PERSON) but it's called midnight mimosas which, you know, she got me right there

happy for her but being reminded of this nadir of a thread darkens my bloodclaat mood tbh

it's neither you nor me nor her who should be embarrassed about it

The new mixtape is solid straight through and legit stunning in places. "Show Me," "Boy Stop Playin'," "Dedicated" and "So Good" are early highlights for me

Not sure if this is supposed to be "another side of Shanell" or a complete retcon of Nobody's Bitch, but the reinvention is really working for her. This is the best she's ever sounded.

haha just watched 'my button' again... hands down one of the best songs of the decade imo

have we discussed the female empowerment angle yet?

a reinvention that reuses multiple songs off nobody's bitch?

anyway this is pretty good, nothing's touching "catch me at the light" so far apart from maybe "boy stop playin" and it certainly doesn't have the whoa factor of nobody's bitch but i'm liking the sumptuousness and feeling. "catch me at the light" is sooooooo fantastic though, sorta likea response to terius' "fast car" type tracks
