re: "Take Me." Really?
― queen frostine (Eric H.), Thursday, 25 March 2010 20:00 (fourteen years ago) link
Also, the McCartney sample seems like the only really adventurous one out of the lineup.
― queen frostine (Eric H.), Thursday, 25 March 2010 20:01 (fourteen years ago) link
really?! "Arrow Through Me" is one of my touchstones.

This album is really 80s isn't it? All of these thick modern soul synths, rubbery basslines... I'm not really hearing the organic "throwback to Baduizm" thing people were saying besides "Window Seat"

spank rock -_-

She kinda fulfilled the adventure quota ten times over with the last one, no?
Yeah, most of the samples are '79/'80. The album could have come out on 2000 Black (but then Kaidi and Dego etc would have replayed everything).

Me neither, and the last song with Muldrow is a very different organic.

Yes, really -- slowed a bit.
Yes, really -- untouched, more or less. (You can even hear Paul's "Oooooh"s.)
― Andy K, Thursday, 25 March 2010 22:03 (fourteen years ago) link
And by untouched I mean the basic groove is there. It's not like it's the song note-for-note with Erykah's voice over it.

"My Darling Baby" by Wood, Brass & Steel is also used, but it's not on YouTube.

This has leaked.

Mixed emotions DL-ing it, but this is really the only way I'm getting a review in on it.

"Turn Me Away" is supercuet
― stephen juaquin (The Reverend), Friday, 26 March 2010 06:20 (fourteen years ago) link
^^^
get money
― deej khalifa (deej), Friday, 26 March 2010 06:21 (fourteen years ago) link
hmmm... the fact that the leaked version of "Turn Me Away" is 4:17, whereas the album version is 5:26 indicates that the leak is a radio edit and therefore it's going to be a single OF WHICH I HEARTILY APPROVE
― stephen juaquin (The Reverend), Friday, 26 March 2010 06:23 (fourteen years ago) link
get money should be the new otm

feelin the next track too
― deej khalifa (deej), Friday, 26 March 2010 06:25 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, same here. this is the smoovest shit
― stephen juaquin (The Reverend), Friday, 26 March 2010 06:26 (fourteen years ago) link
the badu album this sounds most like (so far at least) is Worldwide Underground! that's the one where she did all these early-80s funk jams before, except on this one they're way more focused
― stephen juaquin (The Reverend), Friday, 26 March 2010 06:28 (fourteen years ago) link
gone baby, don't be long is beautiful
― Violent (J0rdan S.), Friday, 26 March 2010 06:44 (fourteen years ago) link
when she starts riffing on biggie lyrics its like me singing in the shower
― deej khalifa (deej), Friday, 26 March 2010 06:44 (fourteen years ago) link
I notice she does it twice over the course of the album
― stephen juaquin (The Reverend), Friday, 26 March 2010 06:46 (fourteen years ago) link
what's the other -- i'm reading & not really paying attention to lyrics atm
― Violent (J0rdan S.), Friday, 26 March 2010 06:47 (fourteen years ago) link
theres gonna be a lotta slow singing and flower bringin if my burglar alarm starts ringin
― deej khalifa (deej), Friday, 26 March 2010 06:51 (fourteen years ago) link
I think "Turn Me Away" and "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long" are my immediate faves
― stephen juaquin (The Reverend), Friday, 26 March 2010 07:03 (fourteen years ago) link
gone baby, gone baby, don't be looooong

there's some great theremin-esque action on this record btw
prob that kaos pad she always is messing with live
Nope, it's a theremin.
― Please Do Not Swagga Jack Me (Matos W.K.), Friday, 26 March 2010 08:43 (fourteen years ago) link
you sure? its not a theremin she uses when she plays live...

ok i KNOW there's an uncensored version of "you loving me" because they played it to us, so it had better find its way to me at some point

Overall, settling into this one. It doesn't instantly hit me like the last one did, but it's gonna grow on me. The "Intimate Friends" riff is probably the weakest joint. Also not quite taken with the Madlib one yet, either.
― queen frostine (Eric H.), Friday, 26 March 2010 11:49 (fourteen years ago) link
No one is credited with theremin. My guess is that it's the moogerfooger.
― Andy K, Friday, 26 March 2010 12:42 (fourteen years ago) link
She's definitely returned to the pre-New Amerykah ethos on this one.

Pre-AmErykah ethos, but post-AmErykah production. Not necessarily "best of both worlds," but I'm glad to at least hear it's not simply another Mama's Gun.
