I've given it a few more spins and I must say it really is a grower, so for anyone out there who has given up after 1 listen, spin it a few more times!

YES KEEP LISTENING THEN.

 

I really am not exaggerating when i say i am sure it will continue to rise for me and become one of my all-time favourite album tracks at least from her.

Yeah I'm really loving 'American Oxygen'. Could be a big hit for her when Tidal goes under :)

 

Of what we've heard so far I'm gonna say

1. FourFiveSeconds

2. American Oxygen

3. Bitch Better Have My Money

 

But they are all F A B

Posted this in the Kanye thread too, but an apparent R8 demo has been leaked~

 

 

It's sung by Kanye West but will probably be part of a longer song featuring her too. (Not confirmed to be on this album btw but that's what rumours are suggesting)

ew I heard that too but brushed it off as a Kanye reject. It better not make R8

New song - an interlude to celebrate 4/20...

I hate albums with 'interludes'

Her vocals are so clear, but yeah I'm not huge on interludes either.

 

I guess it shows shes doing an actual album, instead of releasing amazing singles with quite a few fillers (Except for Loud)

It's quite nice, I really like the production. Doesn't blow me away but pleasant enough.

I have a feeling this is going to be her worst album yet

I have no problem with interludes.

I like the production of James Joint, after American Oxygen which was a little disappointing, I'm hopeful the rest of the album will be of a high quality.

I'm yet to hear one of these amazing singles you speak of? Sure BBHMM has that urban promo single thing about it...

I like interludes actually, although it depends on the whole album.

 

'James Joint' is very nice.

I really like it, but I still have low expectations from this album.

"this month" :lol:

 

In album news, J Cole has confirmed he is featured on a track on the album. Rather excited for that collab actually, if we ever get this.

who knows if that'll still be the case, that albums probably got 5 more evolutions and 2 years in the oven yet!

She's been in the studio with Timbaland!

 

YES. Timbaland's really impressed me lately with JT's latest albums and the stuff he's done with Tink etc.

Gerl wot. I am not her for Rih's Suit & Tie

We'll be telling our grandchildren about the time #R8 was supposed to be released :drama:

YES Rih.

 

(FYI Timbaland produced Lemme Get That, Sell Me Candy & Rehab)
