Great review.... since you don't know much about her here's some info (i'll try to be as least opinion-based as possible)

1) there was a suicide bombing attack at a concert she had in Manchester UK. 22 people died. Crazy stuff

2) she dated Big Sean and they did a song or three

3) Victoria Monet and Tayla Parx co wrote multiple albums with her

4) her album Sweetner is heavy produced by Pharrell... none of the songs really jumped off I believe. There's a joint "REM" that you can find that Beyonce did as well.

5) "we can't be friends" is heavy interpolation/borderline cover of Robyn's "Dancing On My Own"

6) other collaborators: Childish Gambino, The Weeknd, A$AP Ferg, Future, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Macy Gray, Missy

7) opinion on album: kinda like yours... Yes And? and we can't be friends are the standouts for me. I like the bridges

8) opinion on her: she's really talented and can really truly sing both in studio and live. she's really good at recording herself in ProTools. She’s also super funny any time she’s on SNL or late night TV (she can do great singing impressions). I imagine her and Cynthia Erivo in the movie for Wicked is gonna be fantastic.

I didn't know about DonutGate. I have more opinions as far as her discography goes (and what she must've gone through mentally with the Manchester bombing and her public dating life) but that's it for now.

Please do more album reviews
