This was the perfect opportunity for her to create something as strong as Share my love, My life, Growing Pains.. and once again she dropped the ball.
Its just not a solid or a good album!
The vocal performances aren't good and I honestly don't hear the truly personal moments that we heard on "Not Gone Cry", "Missing you", "Be without you", "My Life", "Your child", "no happy holiday", "be happy"
as a huge fan.. this was a really big let down!
I dont think i cant ever listen to it again..
i have already played it 10 times straight thru trying to figure out if im tripping..
but i dont really hear the pain or the whole truth!
smfh
what do you all think? am i being dramatic?
Yea, i dont agree. I like it
the vocals are horrid
and it's hard to get past THAT
so no, i get it
very!
Mary's been singing like this for years tbh,,, now " Set me Free" vocals are meant to be like that the rest of the album is fine vocally ...
Von what are your favorite tracks?
I like Set me free a lot...
but i feel like something is OFF..

SOME of these vocals are very grating
she always had a very raw type voice..
but some of this singing is sloppy and harsh..
she has never been a sloppy singer IMO
The album is amazing.

Mary lost her "jouj" or whatever years ago, she's pretty much getting by on what she did during her prime at this point.

"just fine" era vocals didn't sound like this, i think...

had she not had "Thank you", "set me free", "glow up", "u + me" and "thick of it" on this alber...

The decline is evident
Vocally
Sound wise
i know her voice would be different from 1992...
but i was listening to her earlier albums and I was shocked at HOW AMAZING she sounded back then...

Like, the vocals on Kiss and makeup for example.
Ack!!
Pop & oak had this bitch sounding kinda GOOD
The vocal won't get any better unfortunately. We should be grateful that she has given us more than a couple classic albums. Mary is truly one of the greatest. I just hope she learns from Whitney, Mariah and others who lost their voices and just bow out on top. Don't kill an amazing legacy.
this bitch really use to fucking give u a CLEAN RAW owt..

This is what the fuck these other flop 90s R&B girls need to do.
Tbh I wasn't feeling Survivor but bitch it has grown on me!
Be glad she didn't give a Code Red Mess Owt! And that she ain't doing too many damn ballads.

Many countries don't even have cd stores anymore. But ok hun let's see what the report says on Monday. It's not looking too well...I don't make the news I just report it :ohwow:
Not bostwana and Mozambique
This album is beautiful...on or off key. I absolutely love the lyrical content, substance, and raw vocals. It reminds of the simplicity of the Mary album, which is my fav.
OAN: Her inconsistent vocal offering have not stopped or blocked her success to date, so I'm sure no one even cares or notice any changes in her voice on this album, which are not at bad as a few of you are making it out to be. Whether she gives a flawless screech, or one that's flat...this bitch is and will forever be, legendary!!!!! Name another artist from her time that's as consistent and relevant today. Go ahead, I'll wait.
She's going to book at least $350k this first week.
The album is doing well and probably gonna outsell most full R&B albums dropped in last 2 years by black female artist stay woke.
