this is actually more trance/trip hop, haven't really listened to her before so i had no clue she was in that lane. i think it was ok, but i actually listen to a lot of chill/downtempo/trance/trip hop and this project is underwhelming thus far. i need to give it a fair listen in the afternoon when i'm more in the mood for something like this, but her sound doesn't compete with people who do this well like roses gabor, von d, ftse, etc.

I'm a check this shyt out, but anybody acting like her songs are just all amazing is full of shyt. Bish be singing off-beat and if it weren't for the TDE cosign nobody would give a fukk about her music.

Let's be real about it.

:salute:

Wow they used an XXYYXX track for Child's Play. That was one of my favorite non hip hop albums from 2012. Nice to hear it in another context.

I would be surprised if he didn't, it's just that some songs don't need rappers and I feel that his verse brought down the feel/vibe of SZA's singing of insecurities and confusion.
thank you :salute: there are plenty of dope tracks by female and male singers that rappers just straight up ruin because rap doesn't fit the overall vibe of the track, the booth is the last placed i'd expect to see someone else actually say it tho

Yeah, this just ain't connecting with me. And I don't have a problem listening to women artists, but this chick's music just doesn't sound that good to me.

its a decent/good album :ehh:...she has a lot of "background vocals" tracks tho, where the beat just takes over the song and u can barely hear wat she saying and shyt but they're still decent :manny: the song "julia" is a example and yet that might be my favorite track :ld:....she's a solid pickup for TDE but :whoa: on niccas sayin she on jhene lvl :boloufdup:
