AS SHANELL HERSELF SAYS HERE, "people have a hard time processing it when it's not packaged for the consumption of male entertainment, so they don't know quite what to do with it or how to place it or what to say, because surely a woman couldn't be intelligent enough to be making a point?"

I have listened to the album, and she actually does these things. Like, the last song is literally a chant about slapping hoes. The mixtape ends with her comparing a rival's pussy to a hallway in which a hotdog can be thrown. Those are her parting words.

I'm kind of reacting to this the same way I reacted to Frank Ocean? I am enjoying listening to this but it's unlikely I'm going to go back to the songs I've heard so far to play them again except for "Last Time" and "360" (the other songs being "Pay Me", "Love Is A Losing Game", "You", "None Tonight"; I'm also assuming that the songs being presented to me by Youtube are the songs on this album since they were uploaded with the cover art, so I'll probably download this to listen to it in sequence at some point)

Really resent some of the arguments at work here, and that this is being held up as some exemplary model of what female R&B should sound like in 2012. Women released so many great R&B albums that weren't completely ridiculous and that didn't open with desperate Azealia Banks knock offs

OK. Re "Just For the Night," which I just heard again:
The Herbie Hancock-esque programming/scratching in the intro = fabulous. I didn't hear enough tension between her wan chorus and the rest of the song though, esp when the bridge teased me into thinking a banger was coming.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 18 December 2012 00:39 (eleven years ago) link
i see, so it fails on the terms you arbitrarily invented for it
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 00:50 (eleven years ago) link
I'm not aware of other terms.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 18 December 2012 00:57 (eleven years ago) link
an unhappy story told from two sides of lonely lies and love by proxy, appropriately set in a churning trudging strobing clubland that is a deliberately false impression of a good time and which approximates but never achieves fleeting release just the same way as its inhabitants do. alternatively its routine placidity as sad weary happiness that's just enough
but either way your exultant chorus, banger, tension would be in aid of what in the song?

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

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.

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
