so i've been listening to ridiculous amounts of this album lately, and i'm wondering if any of ya'll could point me in the direction of other music that sounds like it since it seems like it's all i want to listen to these days. so uh, if you could take a minute to school a dude on the wide and wonderful world of confrontational, hyper-sexual female fronted club rn'b it would be much appreciated. the only other things i listen to now that come close are yo majesty and kid sister, but it's not quite the same and i get the impression some of you have a pretty firm grip on this stuff.

um, We Fuck You came on last night. and i had this moment when i totally blanked and i was like, "who is this, britney?"

the verses in that song are crazy slick and good.

(not that i'm saying britney is the epitome of this, at all. it just morphed into a song in its own category for a hot minute there)

samosa, you definitely need lil kim's notorious k.i.m. and trina's diamond princess and da baddest bitch in your life, that technicolour ho-rap is more of an obvious precursor of electrik red - there isn't a great deal of r&b precedent for something as explicit as them (a few isolated songs apart) (though you should also check out vanity 6 - prince's girl group back in the day and the act that electrik red most obviously update).

for more specific r&b recommendations, i'd go with tlc and kelis, i guess.

hoo boy this is exactly it, yes yes yes. technicolor ho rap is what i meant by confrontational, hyper-sexual female fronted club rn'b.

vanity 6 is fun. thx for the recs lex!

gonna go in with some electrik red antecedent youtubes now (aka some of my favourite songs ever)

One vaguely similar R&B album is Mya's Mood Ring, which I think covers similar ground thematically.

tim f's review on pfork today

great review!

Now, cue the P4K masses to jump on board the bandwagon, rendering Electrik Red the #1 indie sensation of 2010! Next gig = Opening for Grizzly Bear + Solange in February.

Forreal, though. Great review, Tim.
