I was hovering over the free trial last night when my girl came through with the Free.99
This is a serious piece of work, ladies and gentlemen. I'm not taking it as autobiographical... it obviously takes in her experience from Jay and he doesn't come out unscathed, but it's been moulded into a full album that digs into the relationships Black women find themselves in in America. It's an album all teenage girls and boys should listen to. Even when she's tearing Jay apart she's acknowledging that esteem issues are at play on both sides of the gender divide... lamenting the male-dominated, aggressive culture at the heart of too many lives that leaves men incapable of love and inexorably drawn to the grave and jailhouse and women stuck in a cycle of heartbreak and grief.
Not many pop acts can grab my attention like this in 2016.
