April 30, 201510 yr Had no idea how this would go down because i've only heard 'I Bet' from it, but i'm thoroughly impressed. It's up there with 'Ciara' already! 'Give Me Love' is my standout favourite - absolutely brilliant, but there are loads of highlights. 'One Woman Army' too *.* She's brought it again :wub:
April 30, 201510 yr 08.5 Jackie (B.M.F) 10.0 That's How I'm Feelin' (feat. Pitbull & Missy Elliot) 08.0 Lullaby 09.0 Dance Like We're Making Love 08.0 Stuck On You - wasn't feeling this at first but it grew lots as the listen went on. 06.0 Fly 09.5 I Bet 10.0 Give Me Love 08.0 Kiss & Tell 08.5 All Good 09.5 Only One 09.0 One Woman Army (Intro) 11.0 One Woman Army 09.0 I Got You This is way better than I expected, really impressed! I enjoyed the last album a lot but not THIS much. Yasss Ciara :heart:
April 30, 201510 yr I'm disappointed at the complete lack of slow jamz, I wanted a Ride pt. 2! :( Apart from that I'm loving it, not what I was expecting at all though really! I thought it'd be a much more 'mature' record from her (sort of what I was hoping for..) but I can't complain when the songs are this good. Lullaby and Fly are the lows for me at the moment. Give Me Love and Only One are my favourites on first listen, apart from the two singles. With these last two albums she's really proved herself. The whole of the Fantasy Ride and Basic Instincteras were such a mess (despite some great songs from both) and she's really turned that around. Maybe down to the label change I guess but still..amazing.
April 30, 201510 yr So this is a good album but not better than Ciara. I think the production throughout is strong but some of the hooks are lacking or too repetitive. Singles are That's How I'm Feelin and Only One.
May 1, 201510 yr Does anyone else hear Nicole Scherzinger in That's How I'm Feelin'? Don't know if it's my imagination or Ci just sounds like her in that song but with them both good friends and working on that 'I Can Do That!' TV show together, I wouldn't be surprised if she was doing backing vocals.
May 1, 201510 yr 'Give Me Love' is this album's 'Livin' It Up'. Absolutely OBSESSED <3 That's how you do generic R&B and do it exceptionally WELL.
May 1, 201510 yr 'All Good' has become my absolute favourite (in the whole day I've had this :') ) Can't get enough of it.
May 1, 201510 yr Quite disappointed with the album, Basic Instinct remains my favourite album for her, then Ciara...this is probably after those two. I love her pop sound but the pop records just weren't as good as they should have been. Aside from One Woman Army, nothing was up to the standard of Overdose or Living It Up, still a good effort but it just falls a bit flat in places.
May 1, 201510 yr Really loving this album on the first couple of listens! My favourites at the moment are: 'That's How I'm Feelin'', 'I Bet', 'Give Me Love', 'All Good', 'Only One' & 'One Woman Army'! I'd say the singles are THIF, GML & OWA! But the whole thing is solid! I'm impressed <3
May 2, 201510 yr R8 (having so far only played it a couple of times in full) 08.0 Jackie (B.M.F) 10.0 That's How I'm Feelin' - clear standout 08.0 Lullaby 07.0 Dance Like We're Making Love 08.0 Stuck On You 08.5 Fly 08.5 I Bet 09.0 Give Me Love - BANGER 08.0 Kiss & Tell 07.5 All Good 08.5 Only One 08.0 One Woman Army Very solid throughout, but lacking major highs. Edited May 2, 201510 yr by jark
May 2, 201510 yr I did love Ciara (album) but this is definitely better imo, more consistent although nothing even touches Overdose from that album here <3 My faves on first listen are I Bet, That's How I'm Feeling, Give Me Love and One Woman Army. I hope DLWML isn't the next single, it's solid but is among the weakest for me and doesn't scream single in the same way as That's How I'm Feeing for example.
May 2, 201510 yr I am the only one not really getting That's How I'm Feelin'? Like, it's decent and the Missy verse boosts it but it just doesn't grab me as anything special at all. Songs like 'Give Me Love' and 'Only One' just have bigger choruses and feel a little more polished and far more mature well-rounded efforts.
May 2, 201510 yr i've heard 'Give Me Love' and 'That's How I'm Feeling' and both are straight up pop GOODNESS. I ADORE BOTH SO MUCH i will be downloading this on the back of both!
May 3, 201510 yr 08.0 Jackie (B.M.F) 09.0 That's How I'm Feelin' (feat. Pitbull & Missy Elliot) The production in Pitbull and Missy's bit is so so good. So European! 06.0 Lullaby 09.0 Dance Like We're Making Love 07.0 Stuck On You 04.0 Fly 09.0 I Bet 10.0 Give Me Love 07.5 Kiss & Tell 11.0 All Good 08.5 Only One 08.5 One Woman Army 07.0 I Got You Not sure it's up to the standard of Ciara yet but it's pretty close. Just wish there were more slow jams or rap features!
May 3, 201510 yr I find a new song from this album to become obsessed with daily. Today is 'Kiss & Tell'. That chorus is just so joyous and melodic. If Jessie Ware had an upbeat, stronger pop sensibility I could imagine this how the music would sound. So good.
May 3, 201510 yr Just gave the album a first listen and... 09.0 Jackie (B.M.F) 08.0 That's How I'm Feelin' (feat. Pitbull & Missy Elliot) 07.5 Lullaby 09.0 Dance Like We're Making Love 05.5 Stuck On You 06.0 Fly 10.0 I Bet 10.0 Give Me Love (WOW!) 05.0 Kiss & Tell 08.0 All Good 09.0 Only One 07.0 One Woman Army 10.0 I Got You (beautiful track, so touching) Very strong album! It's easily my favourite since The Pinkprint.
May 5, 201510 yr Still working through it. But side note, how she sat on "One Woman Army" baffles me. It needs a video/release ASAP.
