an engrossing, gorgeous R&B album by the newly crowned queen of the genre (in the mainstream, at least--I for one prefer Sudan Archives, personally). I'm not super impressed by some of the features, but I adore the vast majority of the deep cuts. some of my absolute favorite R&B tunes, period, on this thing.
FAVORITE SONG: Drew Barrymore
