My favourite thing about listening to good western r&b is hearing the soul and emotion that is sooo familiar and so many kpop groups try to emulate but fail to execute!

With that being said, I would've LOVED for this album to subvert my expectations a little more but I do think it's great starting ground as a debut. The transitions are a LOVELY touch and they do manage to expand their sound in a way that makes sense but I don't think all 16 songs were needed. A condensed 10 or 12 would've made it stronger I think.

The biggest thing i've love for them to adapt is the less is more tactic. Though I LIVE for their harmonies, it can be heavy throughout the album and become repetitive in a way that underminds how excellent they are. Mariah Carey learnt early on that not every song needed whistle notes or belting and I think the same applies here with their harmonies but I think that'll come with time.

Overall they delivered a good album! The Destiny's Fulfilled references shine through out.

Enjoy!

i love when my two worlds collide omg, cannot wait to hear your thoughts about certain songs. thank you for reacting!!

I haven’t even watched yet but I listened to half this album yesterday and I was going to ask you if you would ever react to flo or any other western artist on your channel when I heard it

Koko3op

I've done Troye, Ariana and Beyonce too

oreo321

Good to know, will check them out!

i totally get what you mean, SIXTEEN tracks of the same-ish formula can become overwhelming, and being completely honest, a little boring. It gets to a point where you can predict where the harmonies are coming in, and so it just loses its value entirely by like track 10. Also agree that the album should have been shorter, like imo some of these tracks couldve been saved for a future project.

Andrew Wendt

but maybe im being over critical lol, like these are all still very solid songs. I'd just listen to them with time apart.

Koko3op

You're completely right. That's what it feels like. It's harmonies for harmonies sake.

Laila Riley

omg bending my rules is also my songg

Kai Dior

Have you ever heard of No Guidnce ? I think they are from the UK. Vocals for daysssss

Love watching your reactions because I can always get surprised, as in, I thought you'd like x song and dislike y, but then you do the opposite HAHAHAHAH but when you summarized your thoughts at the end I actually got it, like, it was a very reasonable explanation (I thought you wouldn't like I'm Just a Girl). I was also under the impression that FLO wasn't really it for you, so it was a pleasant surprise to see the notif for this hahah. If you don't mind me asking, could you elaborate a little more on why AAA wasn't your cup of tea? I really thought it would hit a spot for you. Thank you so much for this reaction!

I completely agree with a shorter tracklist having been the way to go since today they added some remix tracks. it's a bit much. That said, the tracks that hit for me, HIT. I feel like the ones with the most live performance potential where they can rly mix things up with the arrangement and harmonies like bending my rules for eg. will stand the test of time. Solid debut effort. I look forward to more of them in the future 😁

Koko3op

Yes i got sick of seeing their is it a crime song on tiktok.

Koko3op

Hahah i surprise myself too. Regarding AAA its hard to describe it but the staccato accents don't lead to where i want it to go I guess. I don't love the hook that follows and it's too similar to the verses.

Kai Dior

Completely understand lol , their B-sides are really good though ! Check out their newest song Nostalgic, let me know if you fancy it !

Myles Daughtry

When I tell you I was literally just thinking about asking for this reaction hoping you hadn't already listened. I can not WAIT to watch this!!

Alistair

Hey Micah! Hope you're doing well! I was wondering if you'd ever do classic album reactions? Like for example revisiting Brandy's Full Moon (or even less acclaimed albums by artists, that were seen as disappointing and didn't find their audience -like in this case, Afrodisiac). Could be R&b, Kpop, soul or anything you like. Anyways I love your reactions, opinions and insights, you're definitely the best reaction content creator out there, God bless you:)

Koko3op

Aww thank you so much and yeahh i'd be so down for that, I already did a couple paramore albums. I've revisited Brandy so much privately but maybe other artists that'll bring in engagement i'd be down forQ
