I spent Wednesday morning listening. Still sorting.

Good songwriting. MIA and Skin Tight are quite fantastic. Mercury is another highlight.A little too soft and cottony and heady for my taste. I am not sure I like her vocal techniques.

making a thread had been on my to-do list (I was sure one was made when "Sticky" / Crush were released but it appears not!)
I'm confident enough now in saying that this is my favourite album so far this year. In contrast to Nabozo I adore the way she builds harmony and uses her head voice.
"Satellites" is a highlight as well as "Xtasy" which to me sounds uncannily like something I might hear on a figurative new Janet album.

Good listen, yeah.

Thank you all for highlighting your highlights. I wasn't immediately feeling Cameo or Venom when this came out so I dropped it, but I love all the named songs so much and now I think I get what she's going for in general
