I understand that the general is struggling to accept her issues with promo. If they can separate that from the album, they’ll understand why it deserves this title. From the moment I heard the album, I called it. The main reasons this album is done to the level of her trailblazers: are cohesion and production. 1. The body of work seamlessly flows. Even if we were to rearrange due to preference, not one song seems as if it doesn't belong. The production is fucking top-tier! The levels and sonics etc???? Then she coined and started her signature sounds (accents). She has songs that touch deeply/ emote. She has party bangers. Her pop joints mesh well with the overall theme. She took risks by going darker and slower. She pays homage while having progressive elements. There is mature content. Normani did her big one and I think she deserves a Grammy nomination for sure. Critically, this is one of the best debut albums I've heard, EVER! She low-key did us like Cardi B did us. I pray to God she finds her confidence and fights to properly promote it.
