if it were anyone else I'd probably say you were right but Kendrick was JT's costar in Trolls and the two of them are friends and have sung together before and Anna Kendrick is a bomb-rear end singer and please let me have this

I am racking my brain to think of who the C.S. feature could be on Say Something but my guesses seem a bit out there. I was thinking either Carlos Santana or if it is indeed a more country-vibe (which I would hate), then I was thinking Chris Stapleton? Ugh.

Edit: Well hell I just looked it up and apparently it is Chris Stapleton.

What? How could you possibly hate this song. It's great and I'm not even a big JT fan.

Based on my informal Instagram poll, 85% of people don’t like it.

I'm not surprised that it's getting such a divisive reaction. This song is weird, dirty, abrasive and the exact opposite of what's trendy with music blog poptimists right now, which is why it owns

Personally I think it sounds like garbage and I have no desire to listen to it ever again, but if it does something for y'all then that's cool I guess. I didn't like SexyBack either.

Seems like the album as a whole will be pretty varied and not a bunch of rehashes though, so that's cool.

I really really really hate the “if you know what’s good” parts, the production, the delivery, everything-

But I’m actually really fond of everything else. That bass line is infectious and I love how funky it is.

It’s a shame the beginning is so awful, it makes the song less repeatable for me. I cringe when he says it.

also it is very much in the vein of FutureSex_LoveSounds which is still a stellar pop album that sounds like it's from ten years in the future, even though it's literally been over ten years since its release. 20/20 Experience was alright but the last decade has been without a transcendent JT song like My Love or Sexyback or Lovestoned_I Think She Knows.

Seriously have you listened to My Love recently that song fuckin' bangs.

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

i took a trip down memory lane and while I'm sure part of it is nostalgia for my senior year of high school, which was the least lovely year in my schooling career (and the brief period before I realized college is loving awful), 2008/09 was the beginning of a really great female-led era of pop music. Most of the 2000s was really not a great time for pop but but those two years had multiple top ten singles each from:

Lady Gaga ("Just Dance", "Poker Face", "LoveGame", "Paparazzi", "Bad Romance")
Rhianna ("Don't Stop The Music", "Take a Bow", "Disturbia", "Live Your Life", "Run This Town")
Jordin Sparks ("Tattoo", "No Air", "One Step at a Time", "Battlefield")
Beyonce ("If I Were a Boy", "Single Ladies", "Halo", "Sweet Dreams")
Britney Spears ("Womanizer", "Circus", "If You Seek Amy", "3")
Taylor Swift ("Teardrops on My Guitar", "Love Story", "You Belong With Me")
Katy Perry ("I Kissed a Girl", "Hot n Cold", "Waking Up in Vegas")
Miley Cyrus ("See You Again", "The Climb", "Party in the USA")
Kelly Clarkson ("My Life Would Suck Without You", "I Do Not Hook Up", "Already Gone")
Alicia Keyes ("No One", "Empire State of Mind")
Mariah Carey ("Touch My Body", "Obsessed")
Pink ("So What", "Sober", "Please Don't Leave Me")
and technically Ke$ha ("Right Round" and "Tik Tok")

That collection of women (and i guess if you really wanted to toss Fergie in there you could since BEP were unescapable in 2009) ruled the charts from 2008 until about 2012, which is when the next group of women (Selena Gomez, Adele, Demi Lovato, Carly Rae, Nicki Minaj, Sia, Ellie Goulding) started to come up.

Adele's first album was 2008. I remember "Chasing Pavements" being a decently popular song. :shrug:

I didn't like Filthy at all hearing it streamed out of the GF's phone, but I just listened to it again on speakers and didn't mind it at all. I doubt JT is truly ever going to break away from this Timbo sound, so I'm just enjoying more of the same.

If you don’t like disco tits then just listen to some other songs because a few of them are similar to QoTC-era style.

I wonder what they're going to do for the radio edit.

I mean he is from Tennessee, so if he starts making pop bangers that really embrace where he's from, then yeah, I'm all good with that.

Filthy didn't sound like that at all though lol
