09/10 - Fever

09.5/10 - We're Good

10/10 - If It Ain't Me

09/10 - That Kind Of Woman

05/10 - Not My Problem

 

 

pretty solid additional songs to an amazing album :wub:

A bit confused by Not My Problem being here... Doesn't really fit at all and there's a number of unreleased leaks that are 10x better

If It Ain't Me is SUCH an obvious single choice, I'm not sure how they stumbled on thinking We're Good was the way to go. Not My Problem is... a ride?

 

7/10 We're Good

9/10 If It Ain't Me

8.5/10 That Kind Of Woman

6/10 Not My Problem (feat. JID)

07 Fever

09 We're Good

10 Prisoner

10 If It Ain't Me

08 That Kind of Woman --> the chorus is so good but the verses nearly drag this down to a 7.5 overall

03 Not My Problem

08 Levitating (ft. DaBaby)

06 Un Dia

 

I'm living for IIAM in HQ :cheeseblock:

 

Ball & Chain and Love Is Religion we're ROBBED, I really wish she included them on this :cry: especially over whatever the f*** the noise that's not my problem is

I'm hoping that they're going to release a single mix of If It Ain't Me with Normani and that way they could get 2 hits off the re-release.

Possibly optimistic thinking but the era has been handled perfectly so far so who knows

I kind of think they decided to promote We're Good now whilst Levitating is still doing really well in America and then make If It Ain't Me the next worldwide single. Just like with Physical and Hallucinate.

Oh wow If It Ain’t Me is an absolute SMASH I forgot how much of a bop it was . I do miss Normani on it a little but it’s still great solo .

It's so good to FINALLY have If It Ain't Me as a proper release even if there's no Normani. The only reason I can think that they snubbed was to avoid another 'samey' sounding single, especially in the US where her run of singles is DSN into BMH into Levitating. Hopefully they're just trying something different with We're Good and will follow up with If It Ain't Me.

Except We're Good is a typical song that US radios could eat it up.

 

There's more chance for this to flop everywhere else but US!!!

Yeah, it really feels and sounds like the most US focused move of this era.

synths in Not That Kind Of Woman is sounding delightful :wub:

Visuals remain on point 👌🏽

Not a massive fan of any of the new tracks bar 'If It Ain't Me'... hoping they grow on me. For me Rita's EP has completely overshadowed this in my playlist (which of course I feel icky about).

 

Okay EDIT: I was harsh on 'That Kind of Woman' It's improved on 2nd listen.

'That Kind of Woman' is a keeper.

The whole expanded edition is only aiming at improving the album's chart run in the US. I'm not fan of this approach, she should've just released an EP as these songs don't BELONG to the very cohesive Future Nostalgia experience.

 

 

I am slightly disappointed with the new tracks. Or maybe with the whole Moonlight release in general. My biggest problem is that it just sounds like a bunch of random songs put together, to get some extra hits and sales. Future Nostalgic is such a cohesive and brilliant record, and this all seems very Rita Ora to me.

Yea it kind of washes out the vision she had in the first place.

Not me streaming and download 'It Ain't Me' and 'That Kind of Woman' but not the single! :kink:

Yeh, I’m going to keep the Moonlight tracks separate to the main album so I can treat it more like an EP.

I agree the new tracks don't fit in with the FN sound and I too will keep then separate but the last part.. actually this is very Dua Lipa :lol: She did it with the first album, milking different versions and tacking on extra tracks so this is very much in her spirit! Now she's done it again but the difference is, the original album was very cohesive so it seems even more of a disjointed strategy.

 

Now I'm hyped for Future Nostalgia: Moonlight Edition (Expanded Re-release Reloaded) with remixes of We're Good and It Ain't Me :P
