that this is a nickname and not something jd just called her last week when she turned up 3 hours late at the studio for mixing is stretching believability but i'll take it

I love how her titles keep getting more and more ridiculous

can we start a parody list of titles?

omg i didn't even notice the angels advocate repeats hahahaha
i hope "one more try" is a george michael cover, she would do a really beautiful job on it i'm sure
― dyl, Thursday, 1 May 2014 17:48 (twelve years ago)
yeah it almost certainly is. faith is one of her favourite albums and it quite heavily influenced her (first!) self-titled album
― prolego, Thursday, 1 May 2014 17:53 (twelve years ago)
omg. at all of this. i didn't know that RE: Faith but that's awesome. makes so much sense. tracklisting looks good. tho nervous about the babies singing. Mary J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like they just slapped a couple of unrelated acapellas on top of a third-rate knockoff of the Niggas in Paris beat

I think I like this. Mostly for the pre-chorus(?).

i'm resigned to none of these singles being hits but i'm pretty optimistic about this album given her last few and the people who worked on this one
― le goon (J0rdan S.), Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:18 (twelve years ago)
the lack of hits hasn't correlated with the quality of her music since like 2005 so i'm not really awaiting that smash single either
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:21 (twelve years ago)
i mean, e=mc2 was packed with hits and she still managed to mostly fuck the campaign up, then memoirs pretty explicitly didn't aim for hits, so it's a moot point really
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 16:22 (twelve years ago)
Yeah, Emancipation was imo the least interesting of the last five albums, including Christmas Part II.

― The Reverend, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 20:10 (twelve years ago)
"Beautiful" went platinum though. It's kind of a hit. Not a smash, but casual radio listeners are aware of it. #81 for the year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_Year-End_Hot_100_singles_of_2013 so it's about as much of a hit as "Adorn" or "Swimming Pools."
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 20:36 (twelve years ago)
I've heard it at bars.
well sure, it got out there a bit. it's just being measured against, y'know, 18 career #1s and a gigantic comeback less than a decade ago.
― some dude, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 20:41 (twelve years ago)
yeah of course. i guess i'm just always surprised how many people are aware of it considering it didn't place Top 10, compared to songs that no one remembers that actually achieved single-digit status.
― billstevejim, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 20:45 (twelve years ago)
let's not forget Obsessed climbing up to #7 when Memoirs came out! weeeee!
― surm, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 20:47 (twelve years ago)
i remember obsessed spending several weeks at #11 before airplay finally pushed it to #7 and finding it very funny
― dyl, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 23:26 (twelve years ago)
oh yeah and this new song is garbage, what a waste of such a #buzzworthy title
― dyl, Tuesday, 13 May 2014 23:27 (twelve years ago)
"#Beautiful" significantly outlasted its chart run on radio here
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 14 May 2014 05:44 (twelve years ago)
i like it. it's like a schmaltzier Migrate.
you tryin to be a boss nowwwwwwwwww

"One More Try" is a cover of George Michael's 1988 single of the same name.
;,)
― maura, Thursday, 15 May 2014 21:40 (twelve years ago)
!!
now that i listened to this song a bit, i feel like it's done what triumphant was trying to do better. but if it really wanted to be a flat out kickass song, she woulda focuzed on the "u tryin to be a boss now" hook in a major way.
― surm, Thursday, 15 May 2014 22:07 (twelve years ago)
probably that should have been the chorus, and the chorus shoulda been the bridge. crazy hot hook.
― surm, Thursday, 15 May 2014 23:20 (twelve years ago)

priceless performance on the Today Show - a new song! 'You Don't Know What To Do' (dunno the official title off the top of my head)
plus Heidi Klum in the audience. killer. it's the 2nd clip down.
― surm, Friday, 16 May 2014 16:20 (twelve years ago)
"You Don't Know What To Do" sounds great!
