Didn't know he has a Nicki collab. Lemme listen.

I actually really enjoyed the album. He brought together artists I wouldnt expect to sound good together and made some great summer bops. Definitely the best summer sounding album of the past long while!

God I thought this trop house trend was bad.  Now we have all of this "trying to make the next Uptown Funk" sounding music by Calvin Harris, Charlie Puth, Bruno Mars, etc.  Im really getting annoyed with this basic ass sound.

I listened earlier when I found it had leaked and I was pretty underwhelmed tbh  I only really liked the singles (with Feels being my fave), but I guess I'll give it another chance later

Just listened to the Nicki collab. Meh  I really like Feels though.

That was one of the biggest letdowns tbh, I prefer songs with one featured artist insted of 3 or more  but it was soooo weak

I love this 70s-early 80s disco funk vibe!!!!!!!!!

I've only listened to the 4 singles, I liked all of them a lot. I'm listening to the rest of the album now... any of the other songs worth mentioning as highlights? @Gia Gunn @Thomas P

It doesn't feel like a Nicki track tbh. It's like listening to a Bebe Rexha track or whatever she's called. Her music good or bad used to be memorable and catchy but this track does nothing for me.

I only really like Feels tbh... and the other singles too, but from my first listen I don't know if they stand out too much from the rest of the album, which is not a bad thing per se, I think it wants to be a cohesive funk experience, but it felt really underwhelming in my opinion. Feels was like love at first listen tho, I can even say that I like Pharrell in this track lmao  

[Hades 27,980]

The only track i can remember how it goes upon first listen is Prayers Up. Feels was a good choice for a single.

This album is amazing destroyed me 

[Bam 1,695]

Daft Punk says hi.

[Morphine Prince 106,348]

Overall I enjoyed the album. 

Slide and Feels are still my favorite.

I like that he changed it up with this album.
