1.5 songs in and I feel like I'm listening to a lost Des'ree album

Whenever I have a parade that needs raining on I know that ILX won't disappoint.

Unlike everyone else on ILX, I never hated Des'ree

"Cobbler" -> "Bless the Telephone" -> "Friday Fish Fry" is a great sequence of songs

Ha, sorry. To both you and Des'ree.

is this album getting some love by blogging circles/music critics? i have been addicted to this record for 3 days. Walking down the streets to Friday Fish Fry is one of the best feelings I had this summer.

She played New York about a month ago - did anyone go? I thought about it but then didn't.

I was just about to revive this thread. After giving the album a listen when it leaked and not really getting into it I've just gone back to it and found myself getting addicted to certain songs on here. Played it five times in the last day.

The songs on this album are approximately 10000000000000x more enjoyable when heard live. Saw her show last night and she was a complete delight - I came out grinning from ear to ear.

I mean first of all this album still rules
second of all did you know Mount Kimbie did a remix of "Jerk Ribs"??? Holy shit!!! There's some echo on the vocal that really evokes some 80's pop R&B vibes imo!! V fresh and great!!

I'm surprised "Forever Be" wasn't released as a single
also "Floyd" still sounds like Spiritualized to my ears.

this album is still so underrated

^ Agreed. "Floyd" is such a beautiful jam.

I haven't felt compelled to return to the rest of it, and my overall impression is that it's pretty dull.
Also wow I was SO wrong about Food back when it was first released. It's probably my favourite Kelis album now, or at the very least my most-played.
