you are correct at the first part
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:19 (twelve years ago) link
the first part of 'faith' really reminds me of 'i hate that you love me'
― dayo, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:20 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, me too -- the tone of the piano is the same
it really reminds me of that kelis EP... just a lot better
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:20 (twelve years ago) link
talking just about "faith", and kelis album, not EP
i'm allllllllll about "scripture"

I am so sad right now that I am working and can't listen to this over and over and over.
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:22 (twelve years ago) link
was kind of thinking how the little 'dance-floor buildup' a la we found love was not really necessary in 'faith'
xp yeah, but also in just how motorik the percussion is, just a kind of military stomp
― dayo, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:22 (twelve years ago) link
like I'm not quite sold on the anthemic second half when the synths and kickdrum come in...but maybe that'll come
― dayo, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 20:25 (twelve years ago) link
yeah the kelis album was what i thought of re: "faith" too

― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 22:34 (twelve years ago) link

the percussion is really what makes this album
― dayo, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 22:56 (twelve years ago) link
yes, but also the tunes + dawn
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 22:58 (twelve years ago) link
I take those two as a given tbh
― dayo, Tuesday, 27 March 2012 23:01 (twelve years ago) link
just grokked the "pearls" reference in "scripture"
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Tuesday, 27 March 2012 23:20 (twelve years ago) link

ugh son

Just downloaded this, but can't listen to it yet (at a cafe and I have no headphones).
Instead, I am thoroughly enjoying the OG dropshadow booklet design.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 10:56 (twelve years ago) link
the last minute of "Heaven", fuck! those strings and that ever more insistent percussion

OK, at home now listening to the album. At Automatic, seems like the track sequence is really perfect.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 12:55 (twelve years ago) link
yeah it's sequenced really really well
― art dealin' thru the west coast (tpp), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 12:57 (twelve years ago) link
I'm hanging in there for Faith and Scripture based on comments here, although it's still great to hear Black Lipstick and Changes again this way!
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 13:02 (twelve years ago) link
OK, well obviously, Faith is my new jam. But feel like I need much more time with this!
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 13:20 (twelve years ago) link
Just downloaded it. Preparing to listen.

People saying "Faith" sounds like Flesh Tone otm. Love that album, need to go back to it.
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 19:20 (twelve years ago) link
kinda sounds like it was inspired by the Jamie XX & Gil Scott-Heron/Drake thing to me
― Number None, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 19:55 (twelve years ago) link
this album is too good
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 20:18 (twelve years ago) link
SFMU remix is so great
― dayo, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 22:43 (twelve years ago) link
it has this sort of aftermath-of-the-war vibe
― dayo, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 22:49 (twelve years ago) link
I love the persistent superman motif's in Dirty Money-related projects
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 23:06 (twelve years ago) link
superfluous apostrophe there
REFERENCE SUPERMAN LISTEN TO SADE should be the dirty money motto
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 23:07 (twelve years ago) link
'automatic' has that same sort of nonapologetic vibe of 'runway', it's great
― dayo, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 23:09 (twelve years ago) link
wait, maybe sade is superman
― if you feeling frogbs, leap (The Reverend), Wednesday, 28 March 2012 23:11 (twelve years ago) link
It's interesting that Dawn runs with that superman/superhero/invincible/bulletproof narrative so much given I think a big part of her voice's appeal is how she can sound so much on the verge of tears while still singing really well. "Change" is an excellent example of the latter quality.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 23:19 (twelve years ago) link
true, i'm finding it kinda hard listening to this in the sunshine thinking "jeez cheer up brandy"
― r|t|c, Thursday, 29 March 2012 00:35 (twelve years ago) link
jokes aside tho the record is impeccable
hope + pray for an extended version of 'heaven' somewhere down the line for the full quentin harris experience
― r|t|c, Thursday, 29 March 2012 00:36 (twelve years ago) link
oh i should hear this huh
― recent thug (k3vin k.), Thursday, 29 March 2012 00:37 (twelve years ago) link
i swear that's skepta's voice just before the drop on 'faith' as well
― r|t|c, Thursday, 29 March 2012 00:41 (twelve years ago) link
i'm kind of weary of all the superhero-themed lyrics on both tapes.

seriously it was quite enough when dawn had "superman" AND "super hero" AND "bulletproof" but then kalenna came with "s on my chest" and i was like come the fuck on
― some dude, Thursday, 29 March 2012 00:46 (twelve years ago) link
I have so much room in my heart for all these superman songs
― dayo, Thursday, 29 March 2012 01:23 (twelve years ago) link
