    This album , SweetSexySavage by Kehlani is just all hype. The only songs on the album that are worth listening to are the samples. You would honestly think that since the album name was inspired by a classic album ( CrazySexyCool ) it would at least live up to its potential but it didn't. Take my advice and don't buy the album

    The personality that emerges here is surprisingly gentle, with lots of slow jams about self-awareness, positive personal philosophies and respect for others. Musically, it would seem that Alicia Keys is a stronger personal role model than Rihanna. For all the swagger, then, Kehlani proves rather more sweet than savage.

    The hour-long album is a bit excessive with some nondescript or merely passable second-half pop ballads, but it nonetheless makes good on all the promise of the mixtapes. It's destined to become a 2010s classic.

    Kehlani’s decision to provide spoonfuls of candor throughout the album is why she’ll reach the apex of R&B sooner than a lot of her contemporaries.
