I actually got it for $9.99 but it was the first week it was out, I think it did go up after that. I heard the Walmart disc has some bonuses and I'm sure they'll do the first week sale. And I'll be first in line!
Thank you DallasCrane for the hookup!
A track by track for ya'll;
Hood Boy: From the jazz infused beginnings to the dirty dirty of the bridge this song is just made for booty pumpin and change making'! And no shame to her game either, it's just a fun, funky song that you can't help but get a little crunk to.
When I See U: So sweet and lush. Very smooth and remniscent of Summer Lovin/Set the Mood by JT. Not the same song (it actually sounds like Losin' My Way, heh), but that same feel. Very laid back, cool, and emotional. And of course Fantasia brings the soul naturally, it doesn't need a lot of overproduction.
I Nominate You: Let's see you be Denzel... it's your Training Day, come and get meeeee. Nuff said, I love it just because of that. Ha! It sounds like an Omarion song, and that can be good or bad...
Also, the whole talkinging thing (talky/singing) about the "You don't go to fast.." thing. Yeah, we don't need that, just do a run baby.
Baby Makin' Hips: I love the little echo in the chorus and the horns get me every time. DoublePump was right about the side of funk and I like the house music inspirations. Very great song and makes me want to shake my own Baby Makin' hips! I don't know if it has the staying power that it's predicted to have, but I would be more than happy to be proven wrong. Oooweee Cutie!
Not the Way That I Do: This song is like every Beyonce song to me which means I hate it more than rabies now but I'll be bumping to it in about six months. Sigh, darn you Bouncy!
Only One U: I like the song, the counting is a little too Brian McKnightish for me, but it's a very cute theme to count down to only one you. I'll let it slide. The little shout out to Meth and Mary's All I Need was cute (though Nas and Lauryn held their own too, heh)
Side Note: Why are these songs so short? I'm glad there are a ton of songs on here, but they seem so truncated. Maybe I'm just feening for more Tasiababy?
I Feel Beautiful: I hate these kinds of songs. I know they're inspirational but they're also very boring. Homegirl can sing, but I already know I'll be skipping this one. It's not a bad song, just not my style. Especially since I'll be hearing it at every Miss Black [insert random state, school, community center here] pageant, every Miss Black & Gold pageant, and Black History banquet next year. It will be good times, but I don't wear it out just yet.
I'm not that Type: I was skeptical, but I love that beat and dangit when you look too good for you necklace you gotta tell someone, right? This is club song, nothing more nothing less. This is the "Fantasia's gonna be on Soul Train!" kind of easy singing club hit. I like, but where's the rapper? She needs a rapper! You wit a new chick eeeeeery night! Heeeey!
Uneligible: There seems to be a nice little revival of old music themes, especially in CD's like John Legend's Once Again. I like when they can completely remix that 50's sound but still keep a modern feel. The retro elements in this song are a lot more subtle, but they are there and I love the end result.
Two Weeks Notice: Oh metaphor songs. Sigh, just like inspirational songs for me. I like when she said, I ain't got commissions and the backups said, Not even a little bit!, but it's not enough. Heh.
Surround it: I love it, and I love the horns in the back, gives it that fun Lupe Fiasco feel. Now that would be a HOT collabo! Fun song, you can't help but move to it and I'm lovin' all the brotha love in this album.
Bore Me (Yawn): This song is HOTNESS. It's still that Beyonce feel (Baby let me know if you wanna roll...), but the one that's awesome and not wildly annoying. Who is this song featuring? Cause they are jammin'! Though I would love to hear her and John Legend hook up, and this song would be dope with him in that part.
Sunshine: Started out skrong! Like, down souf Lil Wayne/Old School Juvie/TI strings and bass, just hot! But then it got a little mellow. Then we have the Missy inspired/Hot Boys thing in the middle which got me The sun may get broke..I know, I know. This isn't a song that should have to redeem itself and I would have liked to hear her really wail at the end, but overall it's solid.
Bump What Your Friends Say: I don't like her cussin' in the songs, but that's because I'm prude about who I like cussing, heh. It's a ghetto ballad, and almost like the inspiro/metaphoro songs for me, but I love ghetto ballads for all the wrong reasons. And she's sangin'!
Though I hate that that was the final song. What a terrible song to go out on, but not so bad since I can put it on repeat and listen to Hood Boy again!
