Indeed! I never imagined her receiving so much support! I always thought she would be completely underground her entire career. This is definitely more praise than I expected. Too happy for her!
I'm so ready for this. I hope Drake and Cole are on the album.
I could do without J. Cole. Her and Drake make a good team musically. A record with all of TDE would be great, a record with Cocaine 80s/Fauntleroy and a record with Frank Ocean or The Weeknd would be dope.

Jhené is part of a Radio1 Festival, showcasing the future talent of 2014 i think idk. It's in London next Wednesday; i've applied for tickets but unlikely i will be successful. This would be her first gig here and would do anything to see her but wtvs.

Hopefully she previews some new music.
I looked at artists' setlists from last year and they did like 3-5 songs so I can only seeing her doing mixtape stuff and "Bed Peace" / "The Worst"
I'm hoping for another "Popular"-esque song (from Sailing Soul(s)) . I think she can have mainstream success too.
From the sounds of it...we won't be getting a "Popular". I think this will be more introspective a la Miseducation and Channel Orange. A very very deep and honest soulful album.
