    This woman still lives in the early 2000s. We're done with that old productions. Hooks are underwhelming. It is not a good album. Full of skips.

    I have been looking forward to this album for so much time and I am pleased it was here. The Queen of R&B had some tough expectations to live up to, and, to be honest, she met about half of them. There were some great songs that transported you back to R&B's golden era, and other songs that were frankly, bad. DJ Khaled song was a hot mess. For every amazing jam, there was a miss.

This was a nice fun listen and I even added "Rent Money" to some of my playlists. If you love R&B, I would recommend this album to you, even if some of it is disappointing.… Expand

    Yes, the record can sit a little awkwardly between being nostalgic and current – given her enlisting on next-gen stars for a hip-hop soul collection – but the take-the-power-back narrative really makes these songs shine.

    Even with a side of arena-sized bombast, it remains a pleasure to hear Blige effortlessly rise above the drama.

    Many of the low-key experiments in sound — an open airiness, often oddball instrumental quirks, bluesy vibes — remove Blige from the comfort zone of her Capitol label-era albums, and bring fresh life to her not-so-quiet storming soul.
