I feel like this is a reverse Britney Jean. The Army liked the first few songs from the album and then hated the album. A lot of us disliked the first few songs, so let's HOPE that the album slays.

Hope y'all are praying for a Rude Boy-type of smash to be on the alberm

There's nowhere but up from this point so you're right

Complaining about AO being repetitive but wanting Sia to write a song on R8.............let's talk about how repetitive are both Diamonds & Chandelier.

Didn't say anything about Sia, but there's a difference being repetitive for the sake of being catchy and then because you failed to come up with anything else to fill the space but didn't want to cut the song. There's no reason for AO to repeat itself that much. It's just plain lazy.

Bajan was right, AO is out and look at this.

Its not even about being right, cause I've been wrong about things regarding this era too.

- I just can't stand the fakeness. It's so transparent and for her so called fans to not have faith in her upcoming album is sad as hell. Wishing her to flop & stuff just because you don't like the music. Ch, i hope she takes a 3 year break and really pisses them off.

Its also ironic how soooo many people were against Rih doing HOME movie & soundtrack, were bashing it . YET as soon as those box office numbers came out everybody in the Navy suddenly loved it.

BYE

Not the tidal app REFUSING to play American Oxygen, but it plays all her other songs everything is such a struggle on this app

[WFL]

I wonder if we're gonna get another song before the album drops. 3 songs is a first for Rih, I think/hope the next release is gonna be the album itself. I need Higher in my life.

Depends if she is going to support the 3 singles she has out now, so far 45s with the least promotion has smashed the hardest but I think they are going to need a bigger hit WW before they release the album

[PhreshDiamond]

AO doesn't even have any artwork on tidal why are basic things like this not going right for her?

[MikeFenty]

It has one for me.

This all true, I still feel like she has one last KILLER single hidden away

And yeah actually listening to AO a couple more times the lyrics are beautiful at times but it needed a couple more distinct verses to be perfect

Kiss It Better is coming

Hmm, then album is not coming soon if you're right because I don't see AO being a bigger hit than FFS WW.

But 4 singles before the album would be TOO MUCH.

I thought it was just me; I can't play it either and the links Rih and RocNation tweeted aren't working. They say "We couldn't find the page you were looking for"

[MikeFenty]

Y'all annoying tho.

[Chemical X.]

this is a reverse era

1 pop single + 1 urban + 1 buzz --> album --> 1 smash --> tour

I love AO but I understand what some you guys mean about wanting "more" and less repitition. But the piano/drums are beautiful, as is the production in general. I don't know why people are saying it's extra... like there are a lot of elements but none of them happen at the same time. It reminds me of a Drake production tbh. Everything has it's place.

Like I am honestly psyched af for R8 and she was heavily involved with writing this song like slay me

[Mau ®]

I hope R8 flops. This TIDAL exclusive scheme is the worst.
