Yeah I don't think dj pamper really came thru with this. Maybe him and Bran were too high during the process because it's very abstract for the most part. I love borderline but even that was kinda niche and coulda had more dynamics behind it.

I have my faves but it was definitely the fastest I've stopped listening to a Brandy album and I've had little incentive to revisit.
Ketanji Jackson has come this far by faith.

Ketanji Brown will still beatcho ass.

Rather be is nice but it sounds like an interlude to me somehow. Saving all my love is okay..I think one of my favorites is Say Something especially because of the production (the rest of the beats just sound too computer beat to me, Brandy's vocals are great but the way it's edited..the timing seems off a lot as if Camper was overwhelmed by all the different layers of vocals). I really wanted to love this album, especially Unconditional oceans, but production is so messy and confusing. Can't compare it to a song like 'I wanna fall in love' or 'thought you said', songs that are also chaotic but somehow there is a perfect blend and timing. Lucid dreams could have been great if maybe a person like Kelela was involved..(Washed away), I understand what she was trying to do but I feel like production and lyrics could have been more polished.

Love Again is the only song I truly love.

Yes very much just stream of consciousness, abstract. I am still happy for her that she recorded the album. I think you can tell she was going through a lot of emotions. There are some very good vocals on B7, it's just not the project I expected..but maybe I am just way too obsessed with her previous projects..NSN, FM, Afro are difficult to compete with.

I wish she would create more music with Robert Glasper. What are we doing and Optimistic are on a different level.

A couple good songs but overall, just not a good album at all. Havent listened to it in months and whenever I do, I tend to skip songs.

The Only BLACK Kalmyks

Project started: 2014 Wrapped up: 2024

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

I really like Say Something just mad that there was no bridge. It sounds unfinished.

Barbie Dangerous

It's a really good album. I can understand why some may say it sounds somewhat unfinished but I kind of like that because it reflected that time specifically. I was surprised she delivered the way that she did considering how over music she seemed for a bit.

The first half is def better.

I will say that High Heels grew on me a bit but it should've been an interlude or something. And Baby Mana could've been a cute song with different lyrics/a different subject.

I can't believe that was a single. Oh my god.
