I’ll start by saying, the album is awesome, its filled with feel-good, twirling music and I’ve listened to it at least 12 times since I got it last week. You should go out, purchase it, and enjoy your day. It will have you feeling “Brand New” (see track 2 on the album).
Moving on to the “controversial” album cover that you see above. I need to let my readers know first off that Twitter deemed it controversial so take that however you like, I mean it is twitter. I listened to the album before I ever heard of anything being controversial about the album cover(I don’t tweet as often as I used to). I fell in love with the album and then was informed that there was a bit of an issue when it came to the album cover…not enough blackness…I suppose. Just an FYI here, the girl closest to Pharrell on the album cover is black, but WHY DOES THAT EVEN MATTER? This album is about empowerment, happiness, love, sex, and self acceptance. Stop being such nincompoops and enjoy some actual good music.
A friend of mine (actually my wonder twin) stated that “Black twitter is always angry about something” and I have to agree. All the more reason to throw in “G I R L” and let your anger subside on your way to work
