K. Michelle

new album!

ugh a Chris Brown feature

i like kim k

the Chris Brown thing bewilders me, people like K Michelle have enough star power and talent that they shouldn't need his support and it just looks so brazenly desperate.

I haven't heard the album yet but I LOVE "Kim K" more than any of the other singles she's released this cycle. It's hilarious that all the chatter around it is "omg shots fired at the Karadashians" when the song is literally about how the media won't take her seriously for being the wrong type of black

my use of "wrong" there means wrong in the eyes of the class structures of society, not wrong as an intrinsic value judgement

I've got thoughts on that too: https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/kimberly-the-people-i-used-to-know/

I appreciate any shade thrown at Migos and Future, but give a raised eyebrow at working with Chris Brown. Breaking even here, I guess.

<3 the dirty Vince Guaraldi Trio of "Fuck Your Man"

this album is phenomenal

rounds rounds rouuuuundsss

think i may need to try this again it did nothing for me on first listen. last two albums are personal classics for sure. looks like the chris brown song has been removed from spotify...

"Rounds" is one of the best tracks. I agree that it's her most blah.

i don’t! it’s got distinct chapters

It drags in the last third. I wanted an album's worth of "God, Love, Sex and Drugs" and "Alert."

The last third is where it picks up for me - the arrangements and sentiments are a little trite but she sings the hell out of them. The first half feels a bit of a mess to me, there's some great ideas and lyrics and her performance is flawless as ever but the melodies feel underwritten and she spends more time showing her voice than letting the hooks build.

This is still a good album from a great artist but I wasn't as blown away as I have been by her before.

^^^This

think she's got a new album coming out soon

there's a single getting played on the radio right now but unfortunately it's probably my least favorite thing i've ever heard from her

That would be “The Rain”, right? I like the previous one:

K. Michelle ft. Kash Doll & City Girls • Supahood

supahood is fucking great

oh yeah "supahood" is much better than "the rain"

I was blasting "God I Get It" on Tuesday.

i’m watching her on the soul train awards. album is called “all monsters are human.” she performed the new single in front of jam & lewis, who let her sample can you stand the rai

also she said she’s going to fight to knock down country’s boundaries

damn

she’s playing new york tomorrow

damn i hope her forays into country work out. "god i get it" for one is amazing

new album ALL MONSTERS ARE HUMAN out today:

yes! Listening now.

queuing

man is she ever consistently underrated.

aw, this is reminding me i forgot to put Supahood on my top singles ballot. it's fucking great and maybe my favorite song from last year where it is socially unacceptable or me to sing along to the chorus.

based on this new record, it seems like KM has a perfect discography… the song U posts above is funny as fuck…

I dunno why we don't revive this thread every three weeks.

Happy birthday!

Been hooked on Ciara’s prayer this week

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6itsa9lbYYs

New album due this year? The new single scooch is good too

lol there's a "ciara's prayer" on summer walker's album too

i saw that last night. its... an actual prayer tho, and not a song.

apparently she did a full country performance at the bluebird cafe within the last week but i cant footage anywhere. i need to see it.

No chatter about the new album? It's vulgar and terrific as usual. I'm here for tracks titled "Wherever the Dick May Land."

seems like every month i re-fall in love with one of her songs, currently its sleep like a baby

and let,
you know,

ev...'ry
night
while you sleep like a baaaby
