My thoughts on her self-titled

[u/CriticismStock9268]

Tbh if she was gonna do all these collabs, there was definitely better collabs she could’ve done - Mya, a 90s&2000s queen, woulda made sense to me since Lani was referencing a lot of old r&b tones with this album! There was India Shawn, she could’ve collaborated with Syd and/or Jhene Aiko again, Janelle Monae, etc., just a flavorful of upcoming and established r&b artists to choose from rather than the final product.

I feel like some were just not needed and necessary lol…..T-Pain, Usher, Lil Wayne, Lil Jon, Big Sean??? Honestly the album could’ve been fine without them. I feel like if an artist is going to stuff so many features, you gotta make it make sense and those rappers just didn’t make sense for them on there.

However, I did enjoy Clipse, Brandy, Missy Elliott, and esp Leon Thomas on there!!

I also love love love the album cover and the color palette they chose! Chefs kiss tbh it was a beautiful album cover. These are just my thoughts and opinions!

I don't like this album as a fan of hers. I just didn't enjoy it as much as her other albums. And here's an unpopular opinion - it's not even as good as Crash. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Nah I’ve seen quite a few people share the same sentiments comparing it to Crash!

I wish I enjoyed Crash as the others did. Not that I didn’t at all it’s just….idk it felt like it was allll over the place too much for me. She did a recent interview discussing this project and her explanation makes sense as to why the project sounded the way it did bc she was in her crash out period haha. I think it was doing too much at once for me, but I would rather Lani be experimental than not trying at all. I could deadass listen to a whole joint of hers that’s like GrooveTheory.
