If that's her lead single, I might have to drop my hopes down a little. I'm not liking that much.

I really don't know what to think, actually. Looks like there will be no Nathan Chapman and only one self-penned song on the album (maybe on the ~deluxe~ version) and most are with Max Martin/Shellback. I was kinda expecting a slower switch - 'Red' had a couple of pop tracks but was mostly country tinged and this would be the opposite. Maybe she'll do a country album or EP next and alternate releases or something like that. Probably not, though.

Anyway there better be a 'State Of Grace'-esque monster on there Taylor.

I was iffy on it the first few listens but I love it now, its pretty fun to dance to, too.


State of Grace was an incredible song and my favorite of hers so expecting another like that might be a bit much.

Kacey Musgraves is the best young country singer and she deserves the level of success Taylor Swift has.

I recently went to see Sara Bareilles at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. She was absolutely amazing. :)
(Some links to a couple of the performances).

The new Taylor Swift song was a bit strange to listen to, even after the more pop-ish songs on RED, but the chorus is really catchy.

I think she is hilarious and wonderful and brilliant. Colours is one of the best pop albums of the last 5 years, and definitely the funniest. Top Nadia songs:

That might well be. For some reason it's impossible to find any writing credits for this album at all online. Could all be credited and above board.

ASCAP credits Chris Stein and Debbie Harry on 'Colours' so it's all legit.

Also that Kate Bush residency started and it's probably a life-changing experience and I'm so loving mad and also so happy for everyone attending that thing.

Ugh, should have thought myself about checking ASCAP or BMI. Thanks!

I'll get to see Kate Bush in about four weeks, and I can't wait. I skimmed the setlist, which was a good idea, 'cause it gives me the opportunity to give An Endless Sky Of Honey a few listens. I admit that Aerial (the second half in particular) is probably the album of hers I'm least familiar with. For some reason I even found 50 Words For Snow to be more accessible.

Yeah, I think Aerial is the one I've listened to the least. I don't even know why, probably because I'm an impatient idiot and a double album is too much.

SORRY KATE!

To be fair that cutesy image is something that was thrust upon her. It seems like she's always hated it

New One Direction song is aggressively mediocre. Aside from Story Of My Life, I haven't really liked many of their pop/rock songs, I wish they'd stick to stuff like Stole My Heart.

How do you guys feel about Ariana Grande's new song with Zedd? I feel it's pretty catchy although I am surprised because I figured she would take more of the Mariah Carey pop/r&b route.

It's okay but definitely one of the worst songs on the album. It's very 2009. The song she did with The Weeknd would've been a much better single choice IMHO.

Not sure if this is the correct thread or if it should go in the rap thread, but I finally got around to listening to Angel Haze's album and I'm disappointed in myself for waiting so long. She is ferocious, versatile, and apparently dating Alec Baldwin's daughter.

edit: here's an acoustic lyrical version of her single from earlier in the year

I found it pretty bland overall. There are maybe two or three interesting tracks and they're at the tail end so you have to sit through eight tracks that don't really have any meat on them. I guess it's a lot like their old stuff in that it sounds like a bunch of songs that they already wrote, on significantly better albums.

Not my favorite because I preferred Electra Heart, but it's good too and I think it signals that Marina's returning to her weird and quirky pop like her first album.

I thought her first album blew. It blew even more after knowing how good a popstar she could be with Electra Heart. Zany and unfocused with pointless vocal gymnastics.
