Electrik Red- How to be a Lady Vol.1 Terius 'n' Tricky make girl-pop magic

any idea who produced this?

Nah, but the links on blogs etc. all suggest that it is not Radio Killa etc. Also scuttlebutt says that Def Jam aren't behind a second album, but this is nothing credible - just the blogs. The girls all just did a big push on twitter promoting the album and each other and The-Dream, so I have no clue what's up.

love these girls but really hope dream/tricky/los are behind the next album

Me too! They are a TEAM. I don't know why they wouldn't be. Terius has his fingers in many pies, but he wouldn't ditch the girls, would he?

Otherwise all we have to look forward to in 2010 is Ciara and Milian. :S

haha shit!

maybe i'm just pessimistic because of historically how careers tend to go in R&B after selling as few records as ER did, but i wouldn't be surprised if they never get to make another album, w/ or w/o The-Dream's help

sad, but true

I'm just bumping this to remind people to vote for ER in the ilx poll: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~FINALLY - 2009 ILX Albums 'n' Trax Poll voting thread ahoy~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ballots due Jan 22)

i overdosed on this rec and only so good is really year end for me, but im pretty sure it was 2008 when i was diggin on it so...

I FEED OFF DRAMURRRRRR

FIRST CLASS STRETCHED OUT OVER THE ATLANTIIIIIIIIIC

yeah i'm claustrophobic so i cut off the roof, baby

Ha ha that's awesome.

I was waiting for the Gucci guest rap though.

Also, I hope they're singing "I keep the blocks on fire, i feed off drama..."

yeah i fear you hope in vain. i guess references to blogs are here to stay.

appaz it's a "sneak preview" so i wouldn't be surprised to see a gucci rap emerge.

I don't even know why I'd be upset about use of the word "blogs" - it just seems like an acknowledgment of their limited impact (unless they mean perez or tmz, which would be lying), which in itself might be some sad portent of the future.

blog references still make me flinch a bit but i think it's more acknowledgement that they're the gossip centres and hubs of conversation - i mean when rihanna sings "where dem bloggers at" (or is it "where dem blog girls at"? i'd like that better, it's bitchier) it's not about her limited impact - quite the opposite!

Yeah maybe i'm just behind the times, maybe it's just the 2010 equivalent of pagers and cell phones.

(B.G.:) Well cook something nigga

(B.G.:) Well won't you front somethin nigga
(Wayne) Tha Blog is Hot, Tha Blog is Hot, ha-ha
Tha Blog is Hot, Tha Blog is Hot, ha-ha

yeah the custos is hot, i know.

never really got the fuss about rihanna's given she did have a fair bit of idle chatter to bust back at and all. also dj quik's semi-sarcastic "yes / bang internet / blog with a nigga, let's get it wet" was a rare winner.

that new e.r is the kind of thing that's cool in an album context but completely woeful at getting the hype ball rolling by itself. w/ever. more importantly though, do my ears deceive me or is that track chopping up the music from oz the tv show??

i lolled

rihanna mentioning blogs isn't really a problem for me so much as the absolutely horrendous bridge the mention was contained in, and the fucking typey-fingers motion she does in the video as she says it

great song, v encouraging

midi mafia! miss that dude

fave midi mafia production:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFSCExFqCEM

midi mafia's gotta be more than one guy, right? i always assumed

ok, it's 2 dudes, was thinking it was just one for some reason

For some reason, '9 to 5' sounds really amazing this morning. How did I not appreciate this before?

yeah it's definitely a real solid grower. so lush!

whole album is great but i realized a while back that my 5 favorite tracks are the first 5 tracks. what a run!

i think my favorites are "9 to 5", "devotion", and "go shawty" - but i'm a sucker for "promise" bites

"9 to 5" might be my favorite song from last year period

i really like that it took me so long to really get into "9 to 5" because it basically means this album is still continuing to give for me

yeah same, "devotion" was my instant favorite but it wasn't until like october that "9 to 5" started really hitting me

Naomi's performance on "9 To 5" is amazing. "OHHHHHH! Punch the clock! Put it on me baby we ain't got much time..."

Tick Tock! Want you to love me like the flowers love the sunlight...

And the beat is so....stately? Especially that repeated piano chord.

The way she wraps around those short sharp syllables at the beginning of each line (punch the clock/tick tock/don't stop/I pop).

"Tick Tock. I need you like hearts and lyrics need a beat."

I said it before, but the song "9 to 5" makes me think of most is Prince's "Gotta Broken Heart Again"

The way she wraps around those short sharp syllables at the beginning of each line (punch the clock/tick tock/don't stop/I pop).

totally, and how each is immediately followed by a stream of words that just pours out - "it's 5 o'clock / i'm-comin-home-i'm-runnin-home-to-relieve-the-tension---"
