I actually love this album, even though I do skip a handful of songs that do nothing for me, but the ones I love are on non-stop repeat. I was a bit disappointed when I heard it would be a house/dance album since that’s NOT really a genre I like at all, I’ve never been into the club scene, and I tend to enjoy strong hooks and more meaningful lyrics (loved Lemonade), so I’m surprised how into it I am.
Idk I feel I can appreciate what it is, just this kind of messy (although well produced) album that wants you to let go and dance and be ridiculous and just say ridiculous things and love yourself and hype yourself up against all odds. Maybe at this time in my life it is what I need, trying to find more joy. And this is a ‘feeling myself’ album IMO. So, why not? Like I said, not into the club scene but could somehow see myself just dancing to this on a summer night.
I love Virgo’s Groove, Alien Superstar, Plastic Off the Sofa, Cozy, Break My Soul. I’m okay with having more skips because it just feels like it’s not demanding attention and lets you explore it if you want to. Not everyone is going to be into it, that’s fine, but as someone who wouldn’t normally love this genre I would suggest giving the songs a bit of time and maybe a second chance here or there.
