August 29, 20168 yr Author So this got delayed lol. He cancelled loads of shows in the UK to finish the album off so no idea what is going on :(

September 2, 20168 yr Yeah, the artwork is amazing. Nick Knight always brings it (except with Gaga, ha) About to have my first listen, eeee. So many great featured artists! Supposedly Cassie has contributed to TWO tracks – 'SDP Interlude' and 'Lose' http://i.imgur.com/EZ1Homc.png
September 2, 20168 yr Author Wait MADONNA features too? She has contributed to/ has vocals on 'Lose' apparently??
September 2, 20168 yr I think that's just Cassie on 'Lose' but her vocals are distorted and she does sound quite Madonna-esque on it in parts! Apparently 'SDP Interlude' includes interpolations of 'Lucky Star' though?
September 2, 20168 yr Author He did thank Madonna on his longlist tweet with all the people involved on the record so i'm intrigued to see what her involvement is (or if Lucky Star features that would be *.* enough). I just need to listen but might not be able to until tomorrow or Sunday :( Let me know how it is!!
September 4, 20168 yr AOTY. Just putting it out there. This was everything I was hoping 'Rodeo' would be and more. The Cudi track, the Cassie, Kendrick, André 3000 and Bryson Tiller features, the inclusion of 'Pick Up the Phone'...oh my lord this album is incredible 🙌🏼
September 4, 20168 yr Author Yeah this album is absolutely brilliant. I loved 'Rodeo' but at times it was a bit too MANIC which worked but this definitely seems more controlled and guided. The production is amazing throughout and I love the features. Can't get over this Cudi track, oh my lord. The 'Day 'N' Nite' lyrics... 🙌🏼 I felt like I was listening to a pseudo-Cudi record at times then this came. I love how he's littered the album's inspirations throughout it so explicitly. So many throwbacks <3
September 4, 20168 yr Author This review from Billboard is spot on: http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/...ht-first-listen While Rodeo -- and even his previous releases, 2014's Days Before Rodeo and 2013's Owl Pharaoh -- have became a sound board for Scott's frustrations with the music industry and making it out of his native Missouri ("Mo") City, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight has little to do with chirping animals or R&B veteran Brian McKnight but hones in on Scott, an artist who has mastered the art of self expression with dark yet liberating tracks. His intricate layering of beats and vocals often make one track sound like three in a way that doesn't diminish the overall quality or feel but instead allow Scott's story to play out like a sonic motion picture. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/67d90ee8.gif
September 4, 20168 yr Author I really can't stop with most tracks on this. It's hit me quite hard. My favourite is 'Through The Late Night' but it is really a solid album on the whole and one i'll be returning to often. I was thinking it also really needs music videos/visuals because it's quite a cinematic listen but i've only found one music video so far: mZDinQ92OZQ
September 4, 20168 yr Author Omg it could be set to get to #1 in the US. SO IT'S NOT JUST ME AND CREMEY LOVING THIS !!
September 4, 20168 yr Hahaha until you said that I hadn't realised this thread consists of posts from just us two :') Glad it's looking like it'll be a #1 for him! :o Have had this on repeat all day, so so good. Definitely agree on the visuals! I haven't seen the 'Pick Up the Phone' video yet but I'll check it outtt. Apparently there's set to be a film alongside the album though, that would be perfect! “The thing with [Mc]Knight is just, you know, some play shit,” Scott said. “You know I’m always into film and I’m doing a short film with this album. I’m putting that out with the album. That’s also what’s taking it so long. I just shot it and shit. And it’s like a long, lengthy film. It’s all the shit that I’ve been doing. All this innovative shit I just wanna do. And there’s even more shit that I’m not gonna speak on now to be impactful.” 'I'm putting that out with the album'...uhhh sure you are, Travis :') Hopefully it's coming soon though!
September 11, 20168 yr Author Loving this album more and more the more I listen. 'Through the Late Night', 'Goosebumps' and 'SDP Interlude' are my huge favourites <3
