“PYNK” is ok, I guess. I like “Make Me Feel” and “Django Jane” a lot better. I will probably like it better within context of the album and film. Almost 2 weeks to go. :D

I'm pretty sure they're her producers, not her writers. Still waiting for the follow-up to their project.

Maaaan I sure hope this album is good.. It's shaping up to be her "trying to cross over/sell out" album. I'm going to buy it because I have all her albums but still.. I'm not quite feeling Pynk on first listen but I felt like that about Queen at first but love it now.

They wrote with her on the Archandroid and Metropolis Ep even if it was just on hooks they collaborated with her.

In her new music something seems off to me and it's not the same. I don't know, just trying to figure it out.

I hope you're right, I like her prior music but these new records I'm not into at all.

I don’t want to really judge until I hear the album in full. PYNK isn’t really clicking with me like the other two at first listen.. but I believe that everything will make more sense when the album is out. I actually love that she’s doing something a bit different this time around. And I can personally respect the evolution. We will see how it all turns out in a few weeks. I have faith in her.

I like pynk way better than the others singles but i hope the album ain't on this feminist wave.


A nikka just wanna hear about Anthony and Cindi. :manny:
I think she threw that story line out man. To be honest I wouldn't be mad if she did throw it out cause she loosely used it on Electric Lady but at the same time who knows.

We will have to wait and see.

Are you saying that because of the album credits? Producers always get writers credits. Regardless, writing with her is way different than writing for her.

The video is cute. I love the colors and the look of it. I hope the song grows on me when the album drops.

I know that.

I'm saying because for instance in a video speaking on Boo bop Bye ya on the Archandroid they mention how it was there fathers song and they developed it further and worked on it with Janelle.

I also believe she referred to them as her writing partners in old interviews if I'm not mistaken.

Sidenote: When it comes to that Django Jane that sounds like Jidenna penned the rap parts and gave her the delivery but I could be wrong and it could just be his influence.
