cautiously enthusiastic about these, i think the direction is welcome and she sounds way less clunky than on anything else she's done since the cookbook, but i don't feel like they're quiiiiiiite at the level that i can really really get hyped. something still a bit effortful about them.
timbaland's verse on "9th inning" is so unwanted

basically i kind of feel like both of these are on the level of say "on & on", which is...fine, i like it, nothing against it, but it's hardly peak missy

who is this comeback for exactly
― r|t|c, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 10:02 (eleven years ago) link
It is for me. All for me.
(And the fact that she's working with MikeQ is proof.)

Ha, no. Tim coming back on some "Can I talk my shit again?" is so much better than...well, whatever the hell else he's been doing lately.

it's not peak missy clearly, but that's a pretty unfair measure. good rap music tho.

now that she's been really good on radio hits in the past year or two by J. Cole and Fantasia i kinda wish she'd just do a full-on R&B record with zero Timbaland input, i think that would be so much better than any of that "9th Inning"/"Triple Threat" type shit.

She seemed so happy to be there last night. Like, "hi everybody, remember me? No? Well, I'm happy to be here all the same!" (waves) Her stuff sounded so cool compared to Perry product and Kravtiz crap.

Not a football fan, so I only watched a few minutes of the game. I looked in at halftime to see what Katy Perry was wearing. I liked this line from the The Guardian: "Wearing a startling, waist-length hair weave, her salvo of 'Get Ur Freak On,' 'Work It' and 'Lose Control' almost steal the slot from under Perry’s nose: almost 15 years since they were released, these songs still sound like the future."

i read last night that missy has graves disease? i didnt know that. damn girl welcome the fuck back
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 2 February 2015 18:26 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, her VH1 'Behind the Music' a few years ago covered that (and was also otherwise great and informative). You should hunt it down.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 2 February 2015 18:31 (nine years ago) link
yeah she started talking about the Graves Disease in 2011 and how that was part of why she hadn't been releasing new music. then she said she was doing better and released two singles in 2012, but they didn't really take off, so now we are 3 years later with still no news about the album. hope she's doing better healthwise.
― some dude, Monday, 2 February 2015 18:32 (nine years ago) link
I thought she denied the Graves Disease thing at some point
― Οὖτις, Monday, 2 February 2015 18:33 (nine years ago) link
Maybe, but articles in recent years keep mentioning it
― curmudgeon, Monday, 2 February 2015 18:37 (nine years ago) link
I don't remember that. I remember Exene saying she didn't have MS after all, so maybe you're mixing up the two?
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 2 February 2015 18:40 (nine years ago) link
I thought Missy had lupus.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 2 February 2015 19:20 (nine years ago) link
Oh, wait, Graves it is, but I guess you can have both?

Pharrell is so all over the beats that the song feels like an alternate physical embodiment of him at times, which Missy is holding by the ankles and whirling around her head like it's nbd, this is just her motherfuckin' show

hoverboards fit missy's aesthetic so perfectly

speaking as a huge missy fan this song is not too good, she def sounds like shes been on the shelf for the better part of a decade and pharrells rapping is typically awful

to be fair this did happen with those terrible missy singles a couple of years ago, but i am fairly sure this is legitimately good! we'll wait and see about greatness

This seems like a self-conscious return to form (both song and video), like something that would have fit on "This is Not a Test." Not the best, but definitely welcome, and totally makes my day regardless.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 12 November 2015 17:43 (eight years ago) link
missy sounds pretty good on this but the beat isn't really doing anything for me, it gives me bad "pon de floor" vibes like 5 years after the fact
im trying to figure out where it fits.... this is a little too close to the aborted gwen stefani comeback i think
