October 1, 201410 yr On the album. I woke up late last night and thought i'd dreamt the hype. Lol. Thankfully listening back today with a clear head and it sounds even better. I am not one to exaggerate (well i am, apologies), but i already know this will be an album to stick with me for years. It's so good and i agree although my expectations were high, it's managed to surpass even them. I am happy she is getting the recognition she deserves; a radio 1 playlist addition today is just the start :D never mind the overwhelming positive reception it's got across the Internet. And it couldn't have happened to more of a BABE. <3 Haven't stopped playing it on repeat. Definitely one that benefits from listening to from start to end. So much swoon. Oh shit, I'm way too on B-)
October 1, 201410 yr Can someone send me a link to listen to the album please I thought I found one but it's not working :(
October 1, 201410 yr I saw her retweet Davidson!! Jealous :cry: When I saw she had retweeted, favourited and followed me I almost had a heart attack. As if I could love her any more.
October 1, 201410 yr Oh shit, I'm way too on B-) Possibly my favourite part on the whole album <3 Great for the radio 1 playlisting! 'Pretend' is actually one of my least favourites, but I'm liking it a lot more in the context of the album. The album is definitely up there amongst my favourites of the year (although nothing is topping 'Souled Out' for me just yet)!

October 1, 201410 yr Author i hate making comparisons to aaliyah because more often than not they fail to come through but let's be honest...here is a girl that takes rnb in a down period, admittedly and gives new life...one of the records of the year THE MIXTAPES
October 1, 201410 yr I am mindblown I'd post some OTT omg gif post but f*** I have no idea what to say if only I had the words Props to this kween tho, she's exceeded my every expectation
October 1, 201410 yr Am I the only one getting teary eyed and goosebumps on 'Bated Breath' oh my f***ing god help!!!!!1!
October 2, 201410 yr Am I the only one getting teary eyed and goosebumps on 'Bated Breath' oh my f***ing god help!!!!!1!NO! It's absolutely stunning. One of my standouts! But in all honesty, all the tracks compliment each other so well, I can't pick a firm favourite just due to the fact the album needs to be played as a full album from start to finish (preferably uninterrupted!) atm for me.
October 2, 201410 yr This is definitely the R&B album in a looooong time :wub: It's all so stunning, her voice is just... :heart: on every track!
October 2, 201410 yr 'Bated Breath' is indeed tear inducing. Can we also appreciate the lyrics throughout the album too!? "In a world full of darkness, I've become your midnight sun... getting so hard to see the stars" :snif: just taking one moment at random.
October 2, 201410 yr 08.0 Aquarius 09.5 Bet 10.0 Cold Sweat (so sensual) 10.0 2 On 08.0 How Many Times 08.5 Pretend 10.0 All Hands On Deck 09.0 Indigo Child (really need a full version thanks) 08.0 Far Side Of The Moon 10.0 Feels Like Vegas 09.0 Thug Cry 08.5 Bated Breath 11.0 Wildfire That was sooooo hard picking the 11. I just don't get how an album can be THAT good. Edited October 2, 201410 yr by Davidson
October 2, 201410 yr So I just tried to do a rate and ended up with 6 10s and an 11 haha, might let it all sink in a bit before I do one.. At the moment I think 'Aquarius' would get my 11, can't get over her voice on it! Totally agree with you about needing a full version of 'Indigo Child'.
October 2, 201410 yr I think I did pretty well just having 4 tens and an 11 tbh. Edited October 2, 201410 yr by Davidson

October 2, 201410 yr 09 'Aquarius' 09 'Bet' (feat. Devonté Hynes) 09 'Cold Sweat' 11 '2 On' (feat. ScHoolboy Q) 08 'How Many Times' (feat. Future) 10 'Pretend' (feat.

October 3, 201410 yr I gave the album a listen last night to see what the hype was about, she's quite a breath of fresh air in this genre isn't she? These were my highlights: Aquarius Bet Cold Sweat 2 On Pretend All Hands On Deck Feels Like Vegas Bated Breath Wildfire I think 'All Hands On Deck', 'Feels Like Vegas' and 'Cold Sweat' are my ultimate 3 picks. I heard '2 On' months ago and didn't get the fuss (how wrong I was), but after listening to 'Feels Like Vegas' the other day I thought "hmm, maybe she is pretty good after all".
October 3, 201410 yr Was worried about this looking a bit OTT but it appears I'm in good company haha 11.0 'Aquarius' 10.0 'Bet' (feat. Devonté Hynes) 09.5 'Cold Sweat' 10.0 '2 On' (feat. ScHoolboy Q) 07.5 'How Many Times' (feat. Future) 07.5 'Pretend' (feat. A$AP Rocky) 10.0 'All Hands on Deck' 09.0 'Far Side of the Moon' 11.0 'Feels Like Vegas' 08.0 'Thug Cry' 08.5 'Bated Breath' 10.0 'Wildfire' In love.
