Kelis "Attention" / Saadiq's Production

OK, this song is jamming. "Tasty" is growing and growing the more I play it. Right now I'm all over "Attention." I love the chorus. The song has the late 80's mainstream R&B vibe. I feel like I just used some curl activator when I hear this track. HAHA! But yeah, Marathon is jammin' too. Raphael's production is on point

IMHO Andre 3000's track, Millionaire, is the standout track on the whole album. Sounds like an outtake from 1999 to me (anyone can tell that he was inspired by "Let's Pretend We're Married" or "Something In The Water"). wink

I also like "Glow," but I believe Ray held back a little on with his production on this album. Nevertheless, it's still a good album. thumbs up!

I love Kelis - her first CD was very good also but everyone overlooked it - I guess that was before the Neptunes were so popular but they also did the production on that one.- I love this one too though - "Millionaire" is definitely my favorite, but "Attention" is also jammin- Yeah for Kelis! music

Hold on, I have to jump in here. "Attention" and "Marathon" will never be weak, those songs are the jams. The only two weak songs on Tasty (in my opinion) are "Protect My Heart" and "Stick Up." I could do without "Flashback" since that was on the last LP. This thread is just spotlighting "Attention" and Saadiq's production. We can get into all the "Sugar Honeys" and "Keep It Downs" in another thread.

i dunno why but keep it down reminds me of some tune on some commercial, you know that 'song' that goes 'it aint what u do its the way that you do it, it aint what u do its the way that you do it, it aint what u do its the way that you do it, it aint what u do its the way that you do it, and thats what gets results'. i asked a few ppl but they didnt quite see the connection, but each time i hear keep it down im just reminded of this dumbass tune and it gets stuck in my head so i just prefer to skip that track now.

Attention has 2 much of a commercial feel 2 me. Glow is much better.

Paisley, what you think about "Protect My Heart" and "Stick Up." I think they suck. Maybe they'll grow on me later. But I think PMH is so watered down and corny. Stick Up is just an album filler IMO.
