I am taken aback by the single choices, like...GFY, then SOL, and NOW H2M

wow, riskier than any Gaga/Katy/Britney/Rih single, easily

It's honestly a miracle that the left-field sounding Same Old Love is such a hit and #1 on Pop radio

I still remember hearing them for the first time, all of them sounding like flops that radio wouldn't touch. But the massive risks paid off and she is setting trends.

Meanwhile Ariana played it safe with the Get Right sound and look what happened. Demi played it safe and the GP said no.

Selegend is teaching these girls that innovation is key if you really want to make a mark.

I feel like lyrically it's nothing new. The production is different but it reminds me of 00s urban pop teas for some reason.

Hands to Myself is garbage, like the rest of the album.

Wait, innovation.

So you don't get Justin/Xtina vibes when they were trying to sound "urban" pop throwback with same old love.

Hands to myself feels like it has Jason derulo production.

Now I will give good for you credit because I can't really think of a past era it mimics.

Every single she released (with The Scene, too) going platinum is impressive.

that first deep breath when the song starts OMG

[rihannafan]

Celine Dion's Breakaway is one of the ballads of the decade for me.

Does Lupus have a Platinum album?

What even is a Justin vibe? You should say Timbaland vibe or Pharrell vibe.

I probably should have said reductive MJ, Prince mixed with trying to one up Usher vibe and that would have been a more accurate description

Selegend isnt mimicking any pop star past or present. If anything shes going the indie/alternative route of Cassie

I didn't say it was a bad thing just not innovative.

I hear Derulo when listening to the production of the song.

[Halien4Life]

The Charts Want What They Want ALSO sounded like a huge flop


And then....

Poor Céline, what a horrible time for her.

Pour que tu m'aimes encore is my favourite though

if you say so...

But it's almost a moot point as this "new" sound doesn't further define her or help shape her identity.
It's just looked at as her singing non innovative lyrics against something people will give production credit for.

I can give good for you credit because I slightly get a vibe of a couple other artist but not as much.

Same old love and the new song immediately brings multiple older songs/artists to my mind.

[Lucas32]

The pilot of Making a murderer was pretty good

[OurLuckyStrike]

The way she made Same Old Love a smash

That song drags on for so long and its production is boring as **** but she pulled it off.
