I don't know that this is a new phenomenon though. I mean, no media outlets had any interest in reviewing Shareefa's album! Or Algebra's!

"faith" would hit billboard w/ a major label push right?
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 27 March 2012 16:09 (fourteen years ago)
All those songs on the Kelly Rowland album that kinda sounded like "Faith" didn't, so I wouldn't get my hopes up
― Evan R, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 16:12 (fourteen years ago)
oh i have no hopes
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 27 March 2012 16:14 (fourteen years ago)
but either way that song is MASSIVE
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 27 March 2012 16:16 (fourteen years ago)
'faith' feels like three songs mashed into one
― dayo, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 16:17 (fourteen years ago)
There were songs on the Kelly Rowland album that sounded like "Faith"? Cause "Faith" is incredible and that album was boring as fuck, "Motivation" aside.

most of y'all will prob cringe a this but i'm most reminded of 808s & heartbreak
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:18 (fourteen years ago)
you are correct at the first part
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:19 (fourteen years ago)
the first part of 'faith' really reminds me of 'i hate that you love me'
― dayo, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:20 (fourteen years ago)
yeah, me too -- the tone of the piano is the same
it really reminds me of that kelis EP... just a lot better
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:20 (fourteen years ago)
talking just about "faith", and kelis album, not EP
i'm allllllllll about "scripture"
― Peace (peaceful) (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:22 (fourteen years ago)
I am so sad right now that I am working and can't listen to this over and over and over.
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:22 (fourteen years ago)
was kind of thinking how the little 'dance-floor buildup' a la we found love was not really necessary in 'faith'
xp yeah, but also in just how motorik the percussion is, just a kind of military stomp
― dayo, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:22 (fourteen years ago)
like I'm not quite sold on the anthemic second half when the synths and kickdrum come in...but maybe that'll come
― dayo, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:25 (fourteen years ago)
yeah the kelis album was what i thought of re: "faith" too

― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 22:34 (fourteen years ago)

the percussion is really what makes this album
― dayo, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 22:56 (fourteen years ago)
yes, but also the tunes + dawn
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 22:58 (fourteen years ago)
I take those two as a given tbh
― dayo, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 23:01 (fourteen years ago)
just grokked the "pearls" reference in "scripture"
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 23:20 (fourteen years ago)
fuck itunes i paid for this and all songs will download except one!

ugh son
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 07:59 (fourteen years ago)
Just downloaded this, but can't listen to it yet (at a cafe and I have no headphones).
Instead, I am thoroughly enjoying the OG dropshadow booklet design.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 10:56 (fourteen years ago)
the last minute of "Heaven", fuck! those strings and that ever more insistent percussion

OK, at home now listening to the album. At Automatic, seems like the track sequence is really perfect.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 12:55 (fourteen years ago)
yeah it's sequenced really really well
― art dealin' thru the west coast (tpp), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 12:57 (fourteen years ago)
I'm hanging in there for Faith and Scripture based on comments here, although it's still great to hear Black Lipstick and Changes again this way!
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 13:02 (fourteen years ago)
OK, well obviously, Faith is my new jam. But feel like I need much more time with this!
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 13:20 (fourteen years ago)
Just downloaded it. Preparing to listen.
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 17:47 (fourteen years ago)
People saying "Faith" sounds like Flesh Tone otm. Love that album, need to go back to it.
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 19:20 (fourteen years ago)
kinda sounds like it was inspired by the Jamie XX & Gil Scott-Heron/Drake thing to me
― Number None, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 19:55 (fourteen years ago)
this album is too good
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 20:18 (fourteen years ago)
SFMU remix is so great
― dayo, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 22:43 (fourteen years ago)
it has this sort of aftermath-of-the-war vibe
― dayo, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 22:49 (fourteen years ago)
I love the persistent superman motif's in Dirty Money-related projects
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 23:06 (fourteen years ago)
superfluous apostrophe there
REFERENCE SUPERMAN LISTEN TO SADE should be the dirty money motto
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 23:07 (fourteen years ago)
'automatic' has that same sort of nonapologetic vibe of 'runway', it's great
― dayo, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 23:09 (fourteen years ago)
wait, maybe sade is superman
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 23:11 (fourteen years ago)
It's interesting that Dawn runs with that superman/superhero/invincible/bulletproof narrative so much given I think a big part of her voice's appeal is how she can sound so much on the verge of tears while still singing really well. "Change" is an excellent example of the latter quality.
