It's obvious she really wants to break through on charts and airplay judging by the interviews saying this album will be less experimental, max martin collab etc. Although that clip doesn't really suggest that. I'm happy with her output this year anyway w the GOAT mixtape, so an album of bangers or whatever else wouldn't be too bad.

still so pissed that my friends fucked up my plans to see her open for Nicki BUT she will inevitably tour for this and I will def go see it even if it means going to another city

I can't quite place the MIDI riff and it's driving me nuts. Is it from an old video game?

idk how i feel about this, pleased not captivated without knowing what i would have rly wanted
guess as she manifestly has all the strings to her bow you expect perfect execution, so hitting any target squarely whether it's max martin or the twigsy vibez here maybe isn't enough for someone with the rare potential to cut diagonally
communicating her essential unifying trademark on whatever it is she does is the elusive next step, the janet auteur thing i guess, and this seems (kinda perversely) a bit less idiosyncratic and so perhaps a tiny step back from the amethyst ep in that regard

This is alright. I lost interest after a couple minutes, and I heard it twice.

'2 on' updated for xans n sprite n concomitant feels isnt really such a shocker business wise
personally aesthetically, sure this song is dull in comparison
prolly there's a couple chopped lines of thinkpiece white on the glass table about how wastedness sits on her as opposed to the predatory boys (illangelo on the credits fyi), is the "loss" of control as egotistic, does the favour presentation seem as manipulative, or is it servile, or equal, or equal for the sake of being equal

oh thank god i didn't realize there was a version sans feature
listened to the version with chris fuckface and was like "goddamn i guess i just gotta suffer through this like that one pusha t song with a CB book"
― slothroprhymes, Friday, 2 October 2015 14:52 (eight years ago) link
otherwise, pretty incredible pop song
Crazy how natural and elegant this song is compared to the clumsy brickhouse EDM songs that R&B singers were putting out four years ago

"player" came on in a car i was in tonight and it sounded like the biggest song in the world

I must need to hear it in the right context. It's cool, but sounds a bit slight to me.

I can't decide if I like "player" or if it's been clinically drawn up in a lab to be a precise approximation of things I like
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Wednesday, 4 November 2015 19:43 (eight years ago) link
i think it's good but yet another song that would be fine w/o chris brown and just gets him tacked on for radio play
― some dude, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 19:45 (eight years ago) link
there's a brown-less version upthread that's a lot better, hopefully the album will just have the solo version (as miguel thankfully did w/"coffee" on wildheart, eschewing that execrable tacked-on-wale version)
― slothroprhymes, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 19:50 (eight years ago) link
breezy verse/presence is trash but whenever i put on the solo i do kinda miss the extra release when they duet on the chorus
maybe shouldve invited future back for more upsetting x-rated tourettes

I like this.
Dump Chris Brown.

there's a non-brown version and it is unsurprisingly quite good.

lol, anybody else want to say that? it's late and i'm tired.
It's srsly gross enough that a woman this young and talented is letting CB on her track that it bears repeating, imo
― albvivertine, Thursday, 5 November 2015 07:09 (eight years ago) link
I mean...the issue is CB on a track is going to get it more attention if they're worried about it flopping, the kid isn't just Teflon he's commercially flourishing
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 5 November 2015 09:07 (eight years ago) link
I think the CB-less "Player" is good, but it hasn't really flourished for me on repeated listens. My guess is I'll like it more when the whole album comes out which is what happened to me with 2on
― rap is dad (it's a boy!), Thursday, 5 November 2015 16:34 (eight years ago) link
yeah i only liked "feels like vegas" and "pretend" in a noncommittal way until i heard them on aquarius, i find "player" (solo) and "party favors" decent in a similar way but not rhapsodising over them yet
"2 on" was always a standalone banger tho
