Does the release show Harlow’s momentum finally slowing? Or is it doing something for Harlow’s career that you can’t see in the numbers?1. After two consecutive top five LP debuts on the Billboard 200, Jack Harlow’scomes in a little softer, landing at No. 8, with only two songs making the Billboard Hot 100 .
2. Obviously this release differs from Harlow’s last few in that it was a semi-surprise drop, being announced just days before its release. Do you think that was just an ineffective strategy for Harlow? Is there a way he could’ve tweaked it to be more effective?: I don’t think the strategy is necessarily ineffective, because I truly believe a new artist should test the waters whenever possible, even if the result isn’t what is hoped for.
, perhaps Harlow was going for something other than immediate blockbuster commercial success all along with this album. Do you think: Despite what I’ve said about the rollout strategy is a great step forward as Harlow navigates maintaining his position as a star in the rap world for years to come. It shows music listeners a new, more contemplative side of him and shows that he has more versatility beyond the flirty, almost cocky persona he always portrays.
5. MGK beefing aside — now that Harlow’s done more of a One for Me type album, what would you generally advise him to do for his next project if he wanted to recapture more of the crossover/pop star momentum he had after: Might I suggest a collaboration album? Harlow works so well with others, and flawlessly matches energy with all types of collaborators.
