I'm the opposite: her album's left me cold but "Before I Do" is one my jams of the year.

Yeah, the album was a disappointment for me after the long wait, but Before I Do is still one of my favourite songs of the decade.

having spent some time with this properly it is definitely frontloaded and not varied enough to be the wholly captivating work it ought to be, but if this limited success is gonna leave her in label limbo like the many before her then what a waste.

I don't know what any of this chart stuff means as I'm in the UK and your charts are weird and arbitrary and illogical, but I legit don't understand why the Sevyns and K.Michelles of the world don't get any kind of push over here.

There's also "HMU" (posted earlier on Rolling R&B):

eight months pass...

eight months since the last singles! It felt like nothing. Anyway here's another new one, sadly it's got yet another Chris Brown feature:

this one has been out a while, i think it's pretty good. i can see from the charts it is being worked to radio, tho i don't think i've heard it on the stations in my area yet

tho he doesn't detract from the song too much it is sad to see that chris brown's presence is still seen to an extent as necessary for her. "before i do" proved she could stand on her own and still get airplay -- and that was one of her best songs! hell, the original solo "it won't stop" was also doing fine even before the version with cb came out and usurped it

I'm in the UK so the chances of me hearing any Sevyn in the wild are slim to none :(
