Without the attachment of a Frankie-assisted reality show, interest in her music has waned.

No. I’m already contracted to do so, I wouldn’t do that to @BMG ,myself, or my fans. But I’m gonna have to move at my pace with this one. #Album8 https://t.co/vipFum06xz

"Calling All Hearts" is probably my least favorite KC album, hehe. I personally think her last decent album was "Point Of No Return", but my favorite is "A Different Me". I'd have liked to have heard her experiment a bit with a different style and sound - she has a transferable voice and image, but she's pretty much stuck to the same formula throughout all her albums. Unfortunately in this digital era of music, relevance can rely heavily on rebranding and going with what's current. I wish her the best of luck.
It's funny you should say that because I hated 'Point of No Return' with a passion. The tracks were very mixtape-ish and the music videos looked like they were filmed on a standard android and created with Windows editing software. It's like the whole era was carried on a shoe string budget. But look... different strokes for different folks. She had some gems though, and nothing will ever come close to her debut and sophomore.
I'm only familiar with 1 or 2 of the music videos (Love Letter and Next Time). But in regards to the budget, that album probably features her most varied mix of producers (Tim Kelley, Troy Taylor, Mike Will, DJ Mustard, Stargate), and they don't come cheap. But absolutely different strokes for different folks, and I agree none of her albums touch her debut. "Just Like You" was just okay to me. But minus "Long Way Down", all the songs on "Calling All Hearts" were very samey and boring in my opinion.
*I'm only familiar with 1 or 2 of the music videos (Love Letter and Next Time) any neither of those look that cheap to me, but I love those songs that much that I didn't particularly pay attention to any of that.
Yes those producers are high calibre and wouldn't be cheap. They just didn't give her their best work. I just felt like the entire era was underwhelming. But I'm glad you liked it, as did a lot of others.
