I never understood the hype behind this chic. She can't really sing and I hate how production nowadays hides the obvious and what passes for R&B nowadays. The dope R&B is slept on all the time. This is way too damn long IMO and all of it sounds like one long song.

Overstimulated :ooh:

Best song on the album, only one that really stood out to me on my listen. Definitely a keeper

I fukk with her music but this album is pretty one note, which I'd be fine with because I fukk with that spacey mellow tone a lot. Overstimulated used the vibe well, problem is the rest of the album she just didn't do her thing.

She despite her lack of range as a singer she does have a lot as a writer. execution was just bad this time around. The song with her daughter was hella cringe lowkey

I'mma give this another spin. It's not like she's outside her lane, this was just a miss.

this thread is why people's careers are shyt nowadays, people liked her just 3-5 years ago, now it's :camby:

i fukk with jhene, yea some of it gets repetitive, but it's also an album you can just let ride. but i really enjoy chill music so it works for me.


This shyt is waaaaaaaay too long. Nobody trying to listen to that much Jhene Aiko in 1 sitting
:comeon:
this is the one valid criticism i have, shyt is 22 tracks and only a few are short/skits plus some 5min plus songs...i know she been throwing out shyt for the past two years, but just go ahead and cut the project to 13 tracks and call it a day.

The older I get, the more I feel this.

Lotta albums don't need to be 20+ songs.....15 either, really.

Give me 10-12 solid tracks and I'm good

I am enjoying this album new balance is an amazing song and I really love While We're Young.

I understand the complaint that it is too long but she makes good background music that is mellow and chill

She made a career about a line of getting her ass ate
