I said come in! posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emDU4QvdwVk  I love her, she strikes this weird chord with me. Which is funny because up to this point I thought she was irritating and pretentious but High by the Beach completely changed something about her in my mind.

I'm finally getting around to listening to Chvrches' debut album and it sounds... bland? I don't mean the songs themselves, they're fine, but they all sound the same to me.  edit: Finished the album and my criticism stands.

Dunno if there's another thread where this is being discussed but the new Weeknd is out there now and at least the first 10 tracks are very good

Well, it looks like the new Jepsen album is getting good reviews at least. As a straight, 30-something white indie rock male, it's weird that I've latched onto a pop album so strongly, but this thing just hits what I like about pop songs every once in a while, but it just does it over and over on nearly every track. And for every review that says she lacks personality, I start to think that that might be a good thing, because I find it easier to relate to her songs than most pop music. Lovelorn singing just makes more sense for me than anthems about rear end shaking. "Run Away With Me" also sounds like it could be the opening track to Drive 2, so that's something.

Alessia Cara, who put out Here a couple months ago (which was great) has an LP coming out tomorrow that she's already shared on her Youtube page with cute videos she filmed around her house/a hotel room. It's pretty solid; Here is already a proven "good song", and Outlaws is a very Amy Winehouse-y number that really shows off her voice. Seventeen sounds the most radio friendly, and the other two are pretty good, not stand-out but they show off her voice and her ear for music, which both make me think she has a lot of potential. I'm excited to see her come up in the biz, if she works with the right people she could really flourish.

The show was short --- even with two openers, it was over by 9 p.m. --- but it included all of the Four Pink Walls EP and two cover songs. It was a nice surprise to come back from that show and find out that my iTunes pre-order for that EP had already downloaded on my computer, though. Edit: Before the show, she went down the queue outside the venue and took photos with everybody. That was cool of her. interpunct fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Aug 27, 2015 |

I was really digging her single when it came out a few months back, but it felt like she was going to be a one hit wonder right from the start. Sounds like the EP could be good though, so hoping she does make it.

Wheat Loaf posted:You know what era I think is unfairly maligned? The early 1960s, between Elvis getting drafted and the Beatles arriving. I think there's a lot of good stuff in there. That's when Phil Spector really took off in a big way. They are all my children, but The Teddy Bears is totally my poo poo. And everyone knows George only wishes he made a beat this sick. Real instruments are just going to sound more timeless to me than ProTools ephemera. Elucidarius posted:I love her, she strikes this weird chord with me. Which is funny because up to this point I thought she was irritating and pretentious but High by the Beach completely changed something about her in my mind. The "Space Oddity" (1969) reference + title reference to Bowie's half-brother Terry + "Andy Warhol" sfx  Maybe I just like that she has all the "right" influences (Nina, Billie, vintage jazz, Spector, Gainsbourg, the VU, Bowie, Nancy & Lee, Cohen). Even HBTB with the modern trap beats has a bit of Andrews Sisters influence in the vocals, at least according to her. Josh Lyman posted:I'm finally getting around to listening to Chvrches' debut album and it sounds... bland? I don't mean the songs themselves, they're fine, but they all sound the same to me. CHVRCHES is taking that same route that too many briefly-hyped indie darling groups take; release one album with a new-yet-safely-trendy sound and then a follow-up album where all of the songs are pretty much reduced to a basic pop song-structure. Everything here just seems so slick, but at least Lauren gives it a sort of pleasant lift above her contemporaries. The frequent criticism of Carly Rae Jepsen that she has no personality doesn't exactly seem unwarranted. But it seems, inexplicably, like MOR pop is more critically prized when it comes to female artists; just compare her Metacritic score to, say, "Electra Heart" or whatever.

Not sure if this belongs here because while I've heard it on the radio and would classify it as pop music I definitely haven't heard it on any top 40 pop stations, but man do I dig it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSP4DJtRbak

I'm loving it so far; something about the way each track builds up energy hits the perfect note for me, and she's super consistent about it, if that makes any sense.

I really do not like that New Americana song, it sounds like a bad Lorde ripoff and some of the lyrics are very Hot Topic if that makes sense. Which makes me sad because by all accounts Halsey comes off a very smart and awesome person and I want to root for her. Hopefully her next single is a little more up my alley.

That really doesn't sound like a Taylor Swift song. At all. Also it's been months and I still can't stop listening to "Marvin Gaye" occasionally. Why did it not get more popular? I think it's extremely catchy and pulls off what it want to do very well.

The Miley Cyrus / Flaming Lips collaboration album Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz is out now on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/mileycyrus I haven't had the time to listen to the whole thing yet (it's a whooping 23 tracks at about 92 minutes), but it's just as weird as you'd assume a collaboration like this would be. 1 Sun is a standout track I think, and reminds me of Gaga actually. There's also a low budget video for Dooo It!, although it has to be said that apparently the whole album is a homemade/low budget affair. I actually don't like Dooo It very much, but there's some good stuff on the album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu5iAgJ65dA

DominoDancing posted:The Miley Cyrus / Flaming Lips collaboration album Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz is out now on Soundcloud: I've been getting through this today and I completely agree with you about 1 Sun (and Dooo It, which is definitely one of my least favorites). I don't really not like anything so far, but there is a definite variance in terms of quality throughout (which you should expect on a 23 track album)

The Miley album is really cool. I'll definitely be cutting out a lot of it at some point, but there are enough good tracks that it would have made a stellar regular length album. Didn't really think she had this kind of sound in her

Thanks to GBS, I was introduced to this Japanese electrorap / pop group which is incredibly awesome. Last week they released a new music video from their latest EP, and without knowing what they're singing about, it's an incredibly nice song in itself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlmHhdwyO64 This other song, HATE, is also incredibly awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffH_Mp74xh4
