here is just some general info about music i've been thinking about
if ur not deep into music and music theory type stuff u may want to skip this ok so... kelis's 2nd album was not released in the states and it was called 'wanderland' i used to think this album was great but i recently listened to it again for the first time since about 07 or so this album is actually terrible the reason i say its terrible is because i realized something i didn't seem to realize back when i liked it what i realized is that the album has pharrell's signature style ALL OVER IT one of the main reasons i have always admired ross robinson's production style was because he was able to bring the artist out of themselves and emphasize their strong points ross robinson basically takes himself out of the equation and makes the artists better as opposed to just doing the work for the artist (come to think of it, you could probably say the same about rick rubin) wanderland is an album where pharrell basically did everything for kelis.. its basically a pharrell album with kelis's voice on it its good music but anyone with a discerning ear can tell that kelis is at the forefront but its basically just not her work at all.. even to the point where some things don't fit her voice, but she sings them anyway.. taking cues and direction from pharrell the whole way through it actually even gets to the point where i wonder how she got signed in the first place.. like who did she top off to get a deal? i'm pretty sure her first album was the exact same way as well.. a neptunes album with her voice on it just my observation.. wanted to put that out there
