Loving this! Lucid Dreaming, Sacrifices and Soul Glitch are some of my standouts. Especially Touch Pass


But smh @ her not releasing the song in the Nightride video

 

Definitely like this more overall than expected. Also, not that it really matters but it seems she isn't calling this a mixtape, but rather a project

 

Going to check this out tomorrow on my car stereo, I'm excited

 

Oh my god so ready for this

 

What makes people think that the real album will be more "Pop"? Is it because the singles are more up-tempo? Because all those songs are very much R&B songs to me, and Superlove heavily references Miami Bass, which isn't exactly Pop either.

 

Superlove would not fit on Nightride very well

 

That does not mean it is not R&B

 

Superlove sounds like a pop song to me

 

Superlove is a clear crossover between R&B and Miami Bass. If that "sounds like Pop" to some people it's because R&B and Hip Hop have been influencing and dominating popular music for such a long time (and because the mainstream and very white "Pop" music industry stole and rebranded the sounds). If the 2 Live Crew and R. Kelly's "Bump N' Grind" aren't Pop, then neither is Superlove. I'm so tired of the misconception that an R&B song that has "crossover appeal" or is danceable (or whatever) is somehow Pop rather than R&B, as if an R&B song somehow can't be huge or have those qualities (I'm not saying that that is what you guys and girls in particular are saying). Beyonce and Mariah Carey had to listen that nonsense for years. Interestingly enough, it's something that happens much more frequently to female R&B singers, but that's a whole other can of worms.

 

Genres: who cares??????????

 

Don't care about genres, don't think the song would fit on this album

 

Genres are important when they mean so much more than just a musical sound, like R&B and Hip Hop. As long as they are the outlets for oppressed people, which they always have been and still are, and as long as they are looked down upon, which they also always have been and still are (rebranding an R&B song the mainstream world does like as Pop is exactly part of that), their uniqueness and distincitiveness matters.

 

Nightride is so good. It's the first thing I've heard from her that I love.
