About Time (mixtape) → About Time (Sabrina Claudio album) – Per WP:RS sources although stylised mixtape this is a straightforward commercial album of an artists original songs; not a mix of other artists material, not a free give-away. Listed by Billboard as an "album"; The 15 Best R&B Albums of 2017: Critics' Picks. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:52, 3 January 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. samee talk 08:14, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- Comment - just to add to that see Darrell Branch The Beat Game: The Truth About Hip-Hop Production 1483530353 2014 "Mixtapes are sometimes even packaged just like a major label release. So, technically almost any compilation of music that is not distributed through major retail music channels are considered to be a mixtape (even though at times mixtapes are also being sold through major retail stores such as Best Buy, iTunes or FYE). So, your next question should be: What is a mixtape again? At this point, I'm also confused about the definition. The uses of “mixtapes” and their distribution change depending on the purpose of the mixtape and who creates and/or distributes them." ... and that's an expert writing a book who is confused, what hope for our readers? It seems that the term (mixtape) is not a helpful or consistent one and that many of our (mixtape) articles are in fact not real mixtapes at all, just hip-hop (album) articles. But that issue aside About Time (Sabrina Claudio album) is 101% a traditional album in all senses. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:52, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
