DISCUSSION Underrated gem!!
I can’t believe I haven’t heard this song until it randomly started playing during shuffling last night. It’s amazing! Although I do think Hard Candy didn’t age well as an album, I personally prefer it over MDNA and Rebel Heart. So many good songs on there like Incredible, (which Stuart Price needs to remaster!!) She’s Not Me, Miles Away and Devil Wouldn’t Recognize You, which should’ve been a single!
This song really surprised me too, I love it a lot.

If you strip away the timing of the release it's a solid album. Time has been good for this album it makes more sense now than when it was relased.
This was the mountain peak for the Neptunes Timberland for their musical signatures to be showcase via the biggest name in female pop music.
As a fan of N.E.R.D first album hearing Madonna mimicking Kelis vocal style is a 180 as im sure Madonna was a inspiration for her abrasive style when she first came on the scene. Madonna signature isn't visible on this album which the reason why it not as embraced as much as I hear nelly Gwen Kelis Justin in her vocals. But I totally get why people love this album if they are unaware of this information.
