I get that. I just don't think she pulls off the 'confident bad bitch' vibe.

They're sexual but still have a certain sweetness. Vocally, 'Me & U' and 'Don't Go Too Slow' are shy and innocently daring ('think I wanna make that move now... baby tell me if you like it') and 'F*ck You Silly' is just funny. The beat to 'What She Don't Know' is sparse and glacial, and I think that suits her much better than the heavy production on the mixtape. She doesn't own these tracks like she did with her old material. I'm not sure I get the personality she's trying to pull off here. But I only listened to it once, so maybe it'll improve for me, not that I'm particularly looking forward to listening again. Think I'll just listen to 'Shakespeare' on repeat for a bit.
