i dunno, i hated the beat. "the neptunes" is such a negative signifier these days for me, the gulf between clout for the artist and quality of production is really wide

i actually like the brent/drake single but unfortunately it seems one of the stations in my city has decided to play an edit that cuts out the vast majority of brent's parts but of course leaves drake's section untouched. i complained via email
(same station also played a horrific edit of "good days" w/ like a third of the runtime cut out and, most bizarrely, an edit of "sicko mode" with most of travis scott's parts cut out, again effectively making it a drake song. sometimes i don't know why i even bother w/ radio anymore)

The new Tink LP sounding good so far – includes "Selfish" (see above).
also has more authentically "'80s"-feeling cover art than John Mayer's:

I'm kinda feeling "What's Your Sign," a breezy jam by Reyanna Maria, a new Australian artist:

(It's a little raunchy; but her earlier single this year, "So Pretty (ft. Tyga)" is incredibly dirty... the lyrix made me blush, lol)

Ok so it's a set of extremely personal & direct breakup songs, all addressing London (by name). "Ex for a Reason" aside, it seems (so far) like a hardcore r&b album, with some jazzy touches that recall the stuff she did on Clear. I haven't listened to the whole thing yet...
― juristic person (morrisp), Friday, 5 November 2021 16:34 (two years ago) link
"ex for a reason" maybe my fav song of the year. was disappointed listening to this that it's the only one w/ a beat aside from the predictably awful neptunes homage. some of the songs seemed decent enough tho
― J0rdan S., Friday, 5 November 2021 16:36 (two years ago) link
“ex for a reason” is good, especially it’s verse, but the vocal overdubs on the chorus muddle it and keep it from hitting as hard as it should imo

the Neptunes were madly overrated to begin with and Pharell in 2021 seems even worse, I wish artists would realise this
