Beauty Marks is another disappointment.

ton of good stuff on the record, kind of a DOA first track though
"thinkin bout you" song of the year

I like the one.
I really can't stand this tendency to lapse into therapyspeak with goddamn Macklemore and the title track.

* I like THAT one
the bookends are the worst, it's true. really love the run from "dose" to "freak me," which should've been in the ilm 77 last year

'I Love Myself ft Macklemore' is a blazing do-not-listen-to-this batsignal that I sadly failed to heed.The rest rules but the afrobeats tracks >>>>> all.

(I posted about this upthread as well, but I feel it’s important to give credit where it’s due. This is more than just a sample or an interpolation.)

Woof, minus a few of the singles this is a stinker

not a stinker but what a disappointment - the good stuff here is the adventurous and unexpected sonic moves so the first half being heavy on the formulaic r&b is really uninspiring and I really don't need another "I'm going to out to have fun" xerox like Girl Gang. She's always been more comfortable than most others doing weird stuff and Level Up/Freak Me were the first time in ages I felt she had broke out the bubble of yesteryear r&b star, so why this falls back into really lacklustre stuff seems a mystery. And both the opener and closer are terrible choices.
