she is talented and can make great songs

IWas holding on saying this because I haven't heard Summer in a while, but listening to the first few tracks she reminds me of a poor man's SZA vocally.
Which is far from a complement because I don't consider SZA that great of a vocalist, but her song writing is of a much higher calibre.

Yea, SZA can’t really sing but she’s top notch as an artist and songwriter. CTRL was top notch from an artistic direction. Varies themes and sound which makes up for the average vocals.

Nothing on here is better than CPR.

Some of the song sound the same and some of the song she sounds like sza or that sza vibe.

She's dope though.

Her Voice is better than Sza. You nikkas need to stop it.

album dope so far.

What's dope about it?

Her voice being better than SZAs isnt saying much

The album isnt trash but sonically it runs together....its not dynamic

Think a big reason for that, excluding the production, is that her voice is limited...and the subject matter is repetitive

Just dont get it

And here in lies the "problem" with this project. This album is 14-16 tracks of CPR/Girls Need Love with re-arranged production. I think London produced the entire album so after a while the beats sound very repetitive. Again, I feel like this is a cool album to chill to with a shawty and what not but I don't think this project will give Summer that elevation as an artist in the same way Ctrl did for SZA.

I know the album just came out, but even after one listen I'm not seeing much replay value. With Ctrl, I knew there were some tracks I'd have to revisit even off the first listen. TDE did a very good job on that project.

The coli is hating so this gotta be fire

Nah, I don't think people are hating, but the album just feels formulaic, it leaves a lot to be desired. I first heard Summer Walker on CPR and I thought "Ok, this chick has some potential, I'll be on the look out for her".

This album doesn't explore too much outside of that 'CPR' type sound.

I wasn't even a SZA fan but once I heard Ctrl I could not deny the quality of that album front to back.
