But that's the thing, she's said the exact opposite about B'Day. She said she wasn't thinking about all the pressure of getting a hit single, deadlines or anything when she recorded it. She just had this burst of creativity and had fun.
And IMO radio smashes and artistic songs need to be mutually exclusive.
Thank goodness you're back. I've honestly missed your posts.
or the "I'd rather be with U"'s remake that makes B'day the stronger album of the two.
