His presence helps unify the sound a lot.

He worked on the first two Pilot Talk albums. Ski Beatz returned and helped produce the album. It definitely sounds like a good driving album or a nice evening or night time album. It's a very smooth sounding and flowing album. I'm really liking the vibe and the flow of this album. I went in hoping that quality would be there and after a couple listens I was able to relax a little and was glad that the album lived up to the hype for the most part. I was really hoping I'd get an album that added to the quality of the Pilot Talk name and didn't just cash in on it. I wondered if it would be since the first two Pilot Talk albums came out in 2010 and this third part is coming five years later. For anyone who has started to move on to the newer crop of buzz rappers or has been fatigued with Curren$y I think this album will instantly remind you of why Curren$y gained all the hype he has. In that respect I think Pilot Talk III continues the tradition. They both showcase Curren$y at his finest. They are consistent, well thought out projects with plentiful amounts of good songs. They are basically good albums that hold some good longevity and resonate with listeners. Pilot Talk I & II are the epitome of what most rappers hope to achieve. Coincidentally I had been listening to the first two Pilot Talk releases and also This Ain't A Mixtape.

I hadn't listened to much Curren$y for a while until about a month or so before Pilot Talk III was announced. I think I had been on a bit of Curren$y overload from the amount of sheer material the guy has released. As good as Curren$y has been, and he's had an insane amount of quality output over the years in the form of albums and mixtapes, since he made his debut in the hip hop world it's releases like Pilot Talk III that hold the importance. It is safe to say Encanto will likely be a fixture at Disney parks around the world.Any time Curren$y releases one of his Pilot Talk projects it seems like a little bigger of a deal than some of his other projects. Even without the award nomination, ' We Don't Talk About Bruno' has been a cultural touchstone and will likely go down alongside 'Be Our Guest,' 'When You Wish Upon a Star,' or 'You've Got a Friend in Me' as one of the most iconic Disney songs.

The success of 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' caught Disney and the creators by surprise, so much so that Disney didn't even submit the film for consideration for the Best Original Song Oscar since the deadline for submission was before the film's release, so it was unclear how much the song was going to connect with audiences. It is likely the rise in popularity of the song online is tied closely with the film being made available on Disney+ for a wider audience. What makes the success of 'We Don't Talk About Bruno' so impressive is the fact that the song had close to no radio airplay and did not even have a pop version cover like many high-profile Disney songs have had in the past. The song has been a breakout hit thanks to apps like TikTok and music streaming services. For reference, the breakout song from Frozen, 'Let It Go,' that took the world by storm and became a cultural sensation, only charted as high as number 5.

In addition, the Encanto soundtrack stays atop the Billboard 200 chart for the third time in the last four weeks. Now, the song has reached an even bigger milestone. Earlier in January, it reached number 4 on the Billboard charts, tying with 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight' from The Lion King and 'Colors of the Wind' from Pocahontas. The decision paid off as the film found an audience, and the soundtrack blew up with one song, in particular, 'We Don't Talk About Bruno,' being the runaway hit from the movie. The film grossed $93 million domestically and $228 million worldwide, which was on the lower end of many of Disney's latest animated films.ĭisney shortened the theatrical window on Encanto and released it on Disney+ on Christmas Eve, hoping to capitalize on families gathering together for the holidays. Released in theaters on November 24, 2021, Encanto was a moderate if now minor hit for Disney Animation, which was still having a difficult time bringing family audiences out to the theater. Encanto's breakout song, ' We Don't Talk About Bruno,' has reached a major milestone to become the biggest Disney song in 29 years.
