I feel like people criticizing this for it not being an album she didn’t intend to make
So why go thru all the trouble of making it and putting it out? I fukks with shorty cause she seems to take her art seriously but this a lazy ass effort. You can make an album that's easy to zone out to and it could've been better than this. Like I said earlier, joint sounds like an album full of interludes

Ima b honest. Solange is an artist that its cool to say u like but in reality lot of ppl dont really listen to her. She like a more shea butter, organic carrot juice version of Janelle Monae to me

Album is pretty :ld: and even seat at the table was kinda :yeshrug: to me.

What you mean? It's an album of just experimental songs?

She didn't intend to make it?

9th about to flip this whole album :wow:, I'm fukking with this vibe so far. Playboi Carti verse on a Solange album lol

I could of did without that verse. If your going to have a rapper on a track like that it’s gotta be either Cole or Kendrick.

If you take out the interludes and sequence the album the way Jodeci used to sequence theirs (fast and radio friendly joints to the slow melodic ones) then it would ge a better listen.

The album as is

1) isnt better than seat at the table
2) does not have the same replayability as seat at the table
3) doesnt not have any stand out tracks like .... you get where I'm going with this.

It's best to listen to this as if she's a new artist putting out a new type of experimental sound with a clean slate.

I know it might be too early but I'm already pretty disappointed by this one..

I know what she was going for but the songwriting feels half-baked. It kind of reminds me of Testing, a bunch of really cool ideas that are poorly executed

Nah I just mean people wanted something different so feel let down. Instead of listening to what it does do well they just hear what it’s not doing. I think it’s pretty successful for what it’s trying to do. But anyone can dislike it for whatever reason.
