2864410, the most honest material i've ever heard from her.

the best thing about this album is that it sounds like HER.
not her producers. not whatever demographic she was aiming for.

it sounds like she had something to say and she said it.
the sexed up material doesn't sound forced or contrived.
it feels like she is in a relationship with a man she loves, an she's enjoying the joys of sex. she wrote these songs because that's what she was feeling.

it's also her clearest statement to date about how she feels about
being pretty, being famous, being powerful, being confident, and being a woman while being all the things i just listed.


this is the album that made me a fan.


also, i bought this album yesterday.
the timbiland beat change up on "blow" is insane.
i had this song on repeat for about 5 hours,
always waiting for the beat switch.

it is best ear-gasm i've had in years.
