Wow, so wonderful, what are your thoughts??

I always love keeping up with the business side of music so I thought this would be interesting for you all.

For me it’s “Together Again” by Queen Mother Janet.

It’s cute, it’s fine. It bops. And I recognize and appreciate the message behind it. But…yeah, I wouldn’t miss it.

video shot mostly on a GoPro and an iPhone inside a hotel suite with her dancers, this video basically predicted the entire TikTok DIY promo era six years early.

when the BEYONCÉ plat edition dropped in late 2014, this track got debate from R&B purists who wanted more trad-style vocals, with her kinda-moody ST album... while plenty of us had it on loop at the house party. twelve years later: do y'all think 7/11 holds up as a classic turn-up record, or are you skipping it for album cuts like Partition and Drunk in Love?

Just because it’s my birthday 🥳🔥

y’all already know this one. Mariah, Joe AND Nas on the Make It Last remix?? DJ clue? I said what I said, this might be better than the original

so tell me:

1. where are you ranking this against the original and her other remixes?
2. Joe and Nas, right call or nah? if you had to swap one of them out, who you putting on it?

how we feeling about this remix vs her original? and vs her other remixes, because Mariah’s remix catalog is no joke. I’m saying this one’s top 5, fight me 💅🏾

The Jamie Foxx intro is too good! Honestly my favorite R&B/Hip Hop collab song ever.

Been revisiting B'Day lately and I think it's criminally underrated compared to her other albums. Where do you have it ranked, and what's the one song from it you think more people need to hear that best represents the project?

Top 5 off this album

I believe that this should have won “Best Female R&B Vocal Performance” in 1969 instead of “Chain of Fools” … or at least this entire album, because from this same album, “People Get Ready”, “Niki Hoeky”, “Ain’t No Way”, “Come Back Baby”, “Money Won’t Change You”, and “(Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You’ve Been Gone” are also no joke.

I just think that “Good to Me as I Am to You” stands out immensely and deserves more recognition as one of Aretha’s best overall vocal performances. She has other great songs from a vocal standpoint, but this song smokes a lot of them. Very few of them can compete with what I’m sharing here.

Aretha released two of her greatest albums vocally in 1968: Lady Soul (this one) and Aretha Now. Not counting the live album from Paris, these were the only two albums she released that year. I would say that Lady Soul is her best album vocally, with this song having a huge advantage over other selections.

This joint is so 🔥 🔥 🔥

Some UK alternative rnb, heavy Aaliyah self-titled vibes here!
