I think he refferring to her older stuff. nothing could top Renaissance tbh. Every track from it gets better and better. America has a problem and Heated are stuck in my brain forever

Renaissance has maybe 2 songs I don't like and the rest are bangers. Virgo's Groove is magical. Cuff It - Energy - Break My Soul goes crazy live as well, she's so good

I wasnt even a fan of Bey's catalogue before. But that album proved me why she's the ONE
Perfectly crafted mix between og influences and new production style
Ok back to this Janelle's album. I like the overall vibes. Its sunny outside so it fits

Which two songs?
My bottom 2 is Thique & Cozy
What is this Dirty Computer slander?
It's a strong album
Leans too heavy into the Prince influence at times though
Love how the album is just fun. Not super focused on a concept. Just Janelle getting her s*** off. This pivot reminds me of Miguel with War & Leisure except this album is actually great. 8/10

Plastic off the Sofa and Church Girl for me. Just don't think either are highlights.

That moment for me was her self-titled, she's levelled up on every solo album since (Beyoncé - Lemonade - Renaissance).
Yeah, it's a good summer vibe.

The year 2719. Five World Wars have decimated the earth. To escape from the ecological destruction, mankind has banded together to create one last great city named Metropolis. Unter the rule of the evil Wolfmasters, the city becomes a decadent wonderland known for its patying robo-zillionaires, riotous ethnic, race and class conflicts and petty holocausts. But zillions come to Metropolis hoping for a better life… because if you can make it in Metropolis, you can make it anywhere…
Into this turbulent world is born Android No. 57821, an Alpha Platinum 9000 named Cindi Mayweather. Unlike other androids, Cindi´s programming includes a rock-star proficiency package and a working soul. Although she is a state-of-the-art organic android, Cindi must abide by THE RULES… the set of laws that decree that, above all things, androids shall never know love -especially with a human. But Cindi is precocious and marked for a special destiny. First, as fate would have it, she becomes the leading voice of a rebellious new form of pop music known as cybersoul. And then, with the eyes of the world watching her, she falls in love with a robo-zillionaire… a dashing human named Anthony Greendown.
Horrified, the Star Commision conducts a thorough investigation. Ending months of public outcry and tabloid speculation, the Droid Control rashly sentences Cindi Mayweather to immediate disassembly. Within the hour, Cindi becomes a criminal, a runaway android, escaping into the Wonderground. And licking their evil chops, the Wolfmasters set the wheels of hell in motion, calling forward bloodthirsty aliens, petulant poltergeists, and devilish bounty hunters with only one command: Cindi Mayweather must die…
not going to lie I kinda love everything
