i wouldn't be surprised if the crj song doesn't really pick up

arguing that "adorn" is the genesis of songs like this is one of the worst insults i've seen about it. i don't hear it? i mean if you change everything about the production and tempo maybe but those are quite big things.
as a song this one is really nowhere near "jealous"

I'm not massively in love with this but it doesn't really seem offensive?

so this album's good, including the Keith Urban-Stevie Wonder collaboration.

what a strange career this guy's had

on one hand i'm pretty embarrassed for having liked "whatcha say", otoh i love "trumpets" and "want to want me". i don't think i have any idea what is and isn't a good song with this dude

Caramanica, somewhat baffled, calls him chameleonic. I say the guy has scored the most frictionless hits of the last few years.

debates upthread about whether "WTWM" fit into the "Style" lineage but imo "Cheyenne" gets far closer to belonging to that bloodline

Totally.

so did y'all end up getting tired of "want to want me"
― dyl, Tuesday, 21 July 2015 02:08 (eight years ago) link
Nope!

not tired of the album either
No commentary on his judging "So You Think You Can Dance?" or his performing "Cheyenne" on last week's show? Let Mary Murphy's non-renewal not be in vain...

"X2CU" is incredibly good

terius-level outro

I JUST WANT X2CU

This album's goodness was such a surprise that I haven't done a good job proselytizing.

i had forgotten while writing about tropical house that matoma produced that song on here w/ j lo -- at the time the album came out i had no idea who he was. apparently it's the next single.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 15 October 2015 21:53 (eight years ago) link
yeah "X2CU" is fantastic, so annoyed it's not a single
― some dude, Friday, 16 October 2015 01:44 (eight years ago) link
Prime Michael Jackson would have killed "X2CU."

hmmm I'm no expert but that sounds more like an opera style impression than actual opera singing
what an abomination of a song
― niels, Tuesday, 13 November 2018 13:55 (five years ago) link
It is popera for sure but still
