I got wild with your mother, ended on the bed
she said "kiss me on the neck" – so I kissed her neck.

that post is trippin but the swing on these songs is very Dilla

It's kinda sexy...

Baby! - Another Baby!

the 1-2 punch of the year

ALLLLLLL NIGHT! FEEEEEEELS RIGHT!

HIGHER! REAL MUSIC!

Brown Sugar (1995) -> Voodoo (2000)

channel Orange (2012) -> Blonde (2016)

Absolutely (2021) -> Baby (2025)

Super interesting that all of these debut R&B albums were more traditional/contemporary in approach, then followed up 4-5 years later by an experimental/unconventional artistic statement

Is there a 2000s equivalent of this?

Yamaha is such a JAM. Love that he brought that chorus around one more time.

Then those "WHAT!"s at the end are so addictive. Lol. So many sticky little parts of this album.

I feeeeeel it in the pit of my chest

she loooooooves me.

I don't know what one word of "my man" is talkin bout but it is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. My maaaaaaannnnnnn.

Baby, is it automatic?
Well, tell me, is it all for me?

Some of them deff got more cleaned up through the day. I'm putting em on genius best I can lol

That’s real, idk what the f*** he’s saying on there but it’s some of the most emotive singing I’ve heard all year

Nigga had "Automatic" in the stash and gave Bieber "Daisies" instead A songwriter who knows what to keep!

Automatic should’ve been a 5 minute jam man, that production is too GOATED for it to be such a short song

RUN THAT MF BACK! BABY IS IT AUTOMATIC!!!

SOMETIMES I GET LOOOOOOSE TO GET REAL

Kindalove. What a closer. Just beautiful music, man.

WE BUYING A TICKET TO GO SEE YOU AT THE MOVIES TOO MY NIGGA!

Title track might be the best song man

SOTY.

Some of ya really didn't like absolutely? Thats crazy to me

F*** it, I just played Absolutely last week before this dropped but let me run it back to back wit this.

If you love me, please let me know
and I'll come back around
