Listened on a road trip today and honestly I’m putting it around the same level as Vol 1: high highs and a lot of mid scattered throughout lol
On the good side, Obsessed is fire (Charlie sounds f***ing great although at this point just get 6lack lmao) and all of the singles have grown on me quite a bit. I also dig Nothing More To Say and Somebody Else and Lean On Me as laid back summer jams. Overall the production is crazy and Calvin is in his bag instrumentally.
On the bad, Ready Or Not and Live My Best Life are f***ing garbage (absolute waste of a Latto feature) and Day Ones is also pretty f***ing bad as a closer. I realized writing this that I completely forgot everything about Woman of the Year which feels like a fair enough review in itself. Same deal as Vol 1 in that some of these songs have completely baffling choices for guest placements and arrangements. Nothing More To Say lost a full point or more from that outro being so out of place and both Snoop and Busta fumbled their tracks especially when it came to hook duties.
Overall, I like it for what it is, but I wish he would’ve taken some time and polished this or even just left it as singles tbh
Agree, 1st was better but I’m liking this a lot too. Great summer/beach road trip music, I’m f***ing with it
Feel like the one thing that mad vol 1 stand out more was the features you would have never expected to see, ie frank ocean/migos, future/Khalid, etc. This one didn’t really have those kind feats but still pretty solid imo
It’s pretty fun hearing push on this kinda production. Not as good as Volume 1, but there’s some good summer vibes on here.
new to you needs a video. late contender for song of the summer.
Best song on the album by far
stay with me being the best song is so disappointing
Stay With We Part 2 is incredible though.
Y’all will catch on to this album eventually
album is just a smidge above mid unfortunately
my top 5
stay with me
obsessed
nothing more to say
potion
new to you
Didn't even know this dropped. No hit single ?

As It Was
Need to Know
Driver’s License
As it was is within a year. Never heard of the other 2

That’s a You problem for not hearing two of the biggest songs this decade. Break my soul a runaway hit too
