Tbh this entire era for me is my least favourite of hers aside for her first two.

She released two really solid, really different campaigns with Rated R and Loud.

But this just didn’t have the same kind of appeal for me and it was a bit like a step backwards.

There’s stuff on the album I love (like Drunk on Love is one of my fave non singles she’s ever done and Farewell is pretty solid too) but on the whole she’s done way better.

Drunk On Love from this album just come on shuffle and holy s***

I think I’ll give this full album a spin tomorrow now! It’s the era of hers I revisit the least tbh other than her first album so I think I’ll be almost hearing with fresh ears!

It’s actually such a good album. You Da One (possibly her worst single choice EVER? following up WFL with...that I mean it’s fine but meh) and Farewell let it down for me but otherwise it’s much better than I used to give it credit for. Roc Me Out is my fave album track wub.gif

I was legit just gonna day after I’ve listened to this all the way through today. You Da One as a single is like WHY!!

I can see why Where Have You Been wasn’t the direct follow up given it was another Calvin produced track but You Da One is amongst the worst things she’s ever done for me singles wise. I think the title track could’ve been a bigger hit has it been on ANTI it’s sound is quite streaming friendly as opposed to the paid for sales climate when it was released. I’d say Cockiness fits into that description too.

Drunk on Love deserved single treatment though a huge missed opportunity! I also love We All Want Love bit feel some on here might think it’s MOR I hope I’m wrong at that though it’s a lovely track and she sounds great on it vocally.

I kinda think generally speaking though this is the era of hers what most feels like a rushed campaign. Unapologetic gets those critiques more but that’s a lot better as a body of work and has more of a flow and introspective feel than this. I’ll post my ranking of this later but possibly thinking of making this into a survivor once the Rated R one has concluded.

Not really feeling WFL these days. It's still great but the anthemic side was sooooo attached to my life back then and that's just not there any more.

Drunk in Love is one of her best album tracks wub.gif
