I think “rude boy” is a great single and will get people in an up-tempo mood to jam up. Its catchy and fun and kinda brings her fans back to her roots. She did the slow jam with RR then had “Hard” which kinda reclaimed her status that she is here and apologetic about it. With Rude boy captures a light harded single that will be perfect for airplay on urban and pop radio but will also bring her back to her dance track hits.

I just hopes her video captures the essence of the song and that she exhibits her caribbean dancing roots. Great pic for a single! I think think shes saving “stupid in love”, maybe “firebomb”, Te amo” and “photographs” for future singles… we will see has this pans out. But i trust in her team that things are strategic and true. I love love love love her album because its true, cathartic, relatable and ppl can empathize in some way shape and form. We all go through adversity and different points and times in live and it all counts on how you’ve learned and grown from it. And stay true to yourself.

I also love “cold case love” that was helped by Justin Timberlake and also “Rock star”. Her album is eclectic it was a release exhibits wat she was going thru. She even said that she didnt care if this album sold successfuly but that the content meant more to her to get it out. And i respect that. I can lisen to her album straight thru……

Very very cathartic, true, and balanced with the up tempto jams, reclaiming your status, and acknowleding the conflicts you go through. love love love the album.
