The day after the US release of Emotion, she played an early afternoon acoustic set in a Brooklyn record store, did a meet and greet and then immediately flew out to Minnesota to do the same thing at the Mall of America that very evening.

PUGGERNAUT posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf_wVfwpfp8 From a couple of pages ago, but this is starting to get some radio play and popped up on Pandora a couple of times today, so: This is literally exactly the same song as Problem. I should preface that this is not necessarily a bad thing. Old-school funky beat? Check. Completely random male voice on the chorus with the main singer pretty much silent? Check. Out of nowhere horn section? Check. (OK this part actually owns super hard and more songs need saxophones and trumpets) Also Ariana is more mushmouthed than she's ever been, good Lord. EDIT: fun drinking game: take a shot every time you see the right side of her face. You'll get a lot less drunk than you think. ninjahedgehog fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Nov 12, 2015 |

every loving song on that album should be a single also gently caress you interpunct I was happy with my spot until you posted that   (that's actually really zoomed, but Irving Plaza's a good venue and even halfway back in the crowd I felt like I had a good view) also that makes two shows I've seen where Dev Hynes has just randomly showed up (the first was Empress Of), though this time I think only me and maybe 20 other people knew who he was abraham linksys fucked around with this message at 05:10 on Nov 12, 2015 |

Random top-40 songs I can think of in the past few years that had a brass or sax parts: Mr. Saxobeat Dancing in the Dark Edge of Glory Last Friday Night Problem Cheerleader Can't Hold Us Anyone have any more? I guarantee I'm forgetting a few pretty obvious ones. I'm explicitly NOT counting Jason Derulo's Trumpets, because that song blows super hard and it's inexcusable that with that name they didn't even try to find a real trumpet player and used the most obnoxiously fake synth setting.

She needs to fire her manager and her stylist and her label and pretty much everything because she should not be performing in Macy's basements and wearing the least flattering "sexy" shirt and baggy-rear end high-waisted pants and her album should be number one because gently caress it's good and I can't stop listening to it. We should put in an offer. This thread as a collective couldn't manage her any worse, right?

forgot to go to CRJ's exclusive secret Macy's Basement Show but someone I follow on Twitter says it's basically empty, welp I am just... baffled. By whatever's happening with her. Like we've made fun of how little promotion there was for the album, but the sad truth is there was some, she had subway ads and poo poo. But they picked a gimmicky opening single that just made her seem even more like a novelty act. Meanwhile, I had to pay $ludicrous to see her sold-out show, and I know that selling out a 1000-capacity venue in NYC isn't a huge accomplishment, but she seems to have a big fanbase. Maybe she should just pivot to indiepop or something; this album's been really critically successful among the poptimist crowd.

Like we've made fun of how little promotion there was for the album, but the sad truth is there was some, she had subway ads and poo poo. But they picked a gimmicky opening single that just made her seem even more like a novelty act She came third in Canadian Idol, then didn't really do anything that caught attention for close to two years until (as far as I'm aware) Justin Bieber started retweeting "Call Me Maybe". Would that song have become as big as it did if he (or someone with a comparable degree of influence) hadn't gotten the ball rolling? In any case, the nature of the song (and no doubt all the parodies) contributed to this image of her as a one-hit wonder or, as you say, a novelty act. On top of that, she was about 26 or 27 when that song became a hit, wasn't she? Music is a cut-throat and calculating business, and I would quite honestly conjecture that she was just older than what promoters and labels want in a new female artist. The possibility seems remote to me, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised.

The non-single material on Purpose is too bland for me to get excited about the album as a whole. The singles—aside from "I'll Show You," which is significantly weaker than the other three—are among my favorite songs of the year, but the rest of it's pretty forgettable.

I think my main problem is that Bieber's autotuned voice grates on me like a celebrity who's had way too many plastic surgery operations.

Something which I believe is pretty unusual nowadays happened in the British music charts this week - the new Elvis Presley album (some of his hits re-recorded with new backing from the Royal Philharmonic) stayed at number one... and increased its sales. That doesn't often happen these days, does it? I believe people were saying it was going to be between the new Little Mix and Ellie Goulding albums, which are at two and three, respectively.
