Will definitely check this out; I have liked all their stuff so far.

Weird how Drake is not pushing it now that the album dropped. He was posting about these guys dropping the album leading up to it.

It really was shocking to hear the vocals on his album. So weak and timid. Majid Jordan is probably the most disappointing album of 2016 so far.

There's no real notable change in rhythm besides Pacifico and at the very end with Every Step Every Way. There's no Forever or Her on this.

Like you have to have a certain level of hookah smoke to really enjoy this album. Think Undertaker's entrance level.

I thought that was the point. Aren't the entire OVO masters of background music?

Day and Night, Something About You, King City, Small Talk, Warm, Love is Always There and Shake Shake Shake all have the same rhythm/melody? :comeon:

I thought the album was really good and I don't think Majid is a bad singer at all. He isn't great but he's certainly not bad.. I do agree though that the group's strength is the production. The problem with them is that they're signed to a hip hop label when they're a pop/house music act. They aren't promoted properly, they should be doing festivals and connecting with that crowd. Instead, OVO is putting them on Hot97 and then calling it a day. OVO is such a trash label

Crazy how Drake renegaded them on My Love and dude never been known as a strong singer. Majid Jordan makes it work though.

Really good tracks on the album...it's a little stripped down, and 'cleaner' sounding, but very much similar to everything previously...'King City' is an immediate standout, as are the opening few tracks, it's a solid release, it's more laid back and smooth then 'A Place Like This', runs the risk of being too 'chill' or almost background music, but when it works, it's really pretty perfect for what it is.... some of these are perfect for movie or tv soundtracks, in a good way....'King City' could easily close or open a movie....sweeping shots of city lights, or a long fade out of a drizzly, rainy city, toward sunset...

They will be big in the middle east market and I think thats what they are going for.
