A customer bought the vinyl of this at work today and the way I gushed about it - what a record. Envious, Don't Hit My Line, Get Paid, The Recipe - the bops!!
She is the most underrated artist in the world. She is making good songs since the beggining. I think it's the biggest pop injustice of all time.
She's cut ties with George since 2018 though. For me she's been on a complete role since and everything Bagage-forward has been good-to-great.
I believe she stated that the reason she wanted to release music as a solo act was due to lyricism and storytelling as a black woman was becoming awkward to do as a duo? Side note: I had no idea she was also in a band called My Toys Like Me in the early 2010s and that her and George had connected due to him remixing My Toys... single 'Sweetheart.'?!
She did, but she has collaborated with several white men since then so I'm curious as to whether this was the full story.
