That song on 1989 that sounded like a Born To Die era Lana Del Rey song was good.

I have probably said this before in this thread, but I really want LDR to cover Tove Lo’s Habits. It’s perfect for her - it already has strings!

An intensely good post with an intensely good opinion. I've had femmebot, backseat, and I got it on loop (the latter mostly for the cupcakke bars) but there isn't a weak track on the album. gently caress I love this. It's so glitchy and nice, it's like my gameboy is haunted by an entire nightclub.

Pop princess Bebe Rexha's new single: Christmas jam of the year?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13hdKXfku4M

Fun fact: it was written by the songwriters of Dear Evan Hansen, La La Land, The Greatest Showman, etc.

while we're on the topic, recommend me some good christmas songs to listen to while I'm working Christmas Eve/Day. (Mariah is on the list already so please don't say Mariah I'm not a fuckin' idiot)

Also, remember when Lady Gaga's primary goal was to shock everyone with everything she did? here is a christmas song that i don't think my bosses would appreciate me playing on the speakers from that era.

Hello thread, I'm a 31-year-old dude somehow just now discovering that pop music is, in fact, good, and thanks to this thread I spent the drive to work listening to Emotion and trying to contain the :tviv: long enough to make it to work (and listen to it all day here, too).

Anyway just wanted to say thanks, now to go listen to other awesome albums from years ago that I missed

artpop is my favorite pop album of the last 5 years, but i'd probably only recommend it to someone new to pop only if i were trying to get more recruits for my extremely weird cause

anyways yeah fame monster is great and the fame has some really good stuff in it. i dunno pop music in 2017 is such an amorphous and weird thing; you heard lemonade yet? go listen to that a bunch

Me and the wife went to go buy this alongside Rainbow, as every christmas we buy "each other" a couple CDs for us to blast in the car 24/7.
Not a single store we went to held it, one had had a single copy and sold it the week previous.
What the gently caress New Zealand. Stop phaffing over Lorde and Six60 and sell me my music.

At least they had Rainbow, and we grabbed Lumineers' latest album so it wasn't a total wash. But Ladywood will sit in the CD changer alone for another couple months.

Ooh, are we talking about great Kiwi music? The Gordons, The Chills (they're more than just Pink Frost, although it is a good song), Straitjacket Fits, Skeptics... lots of good stuff.

(Also, GG Spiteski for picking up Rainbow. God drat am I happy that Kesha's able to release new music).

Rainbow is a loving great album. Like start to finish there's only one song I'm "meh" about (Boogie Feet) and the rest I can, and have been, listening to over and over for my commute.

As far as i can tell Blue Lips hasn't had actually had a CD release anywhere in the world, I can't find anywhere on the whole internet that I could order it so the store that had one copy is a bit of a mystery

It's entirely possible that the dude at the store was talking out his arse then, but that's really stink that it hasn't been released physically. I don't have a flash car stereo so can't otherwise listen to it outside of youtube at home.

Bruno Mars is a national treasure.

edit: like, done poorly this could be some Sha-Na-Na level bullshit but he makes songs that feel like they're peeled directly out of whatever year he wants but also makes them bang so hard that everyone's just like "OK Bruno just made a Boyz II Men song in 2016 this is dope" or "oh man did you hear that new Color Me Badd song that Bruno made? I don't give a poo poo that it's 2018"

this makes every single think-piece i read about JT pulling a Miley and forsaking the black influence on his music to return to staid whiteness even funner, because this is the logical progression from Sexyback that we've been waiting a decade for (not that 20/20 was terrible, but it was no FutureSex_LoveSounds for sure) and also sounds like an alternate reality NERD song.

i hope every single song on that album sounds like this because justin timberlake making an attempt at being some Ed Sheeran/Bon Iver "sensitive guy with a guitar" bullshit artist would ring so hollow, but Justin Timberlake making FutureSexier_LoveSounds is going to be put on repeat forever everywhere that people dance. also I wanna watch a robot gently caress a lady during halftime at the Super Bowl

the album announcement video and title sounded very "i'm getting back to my roots" and whenever anyone thinks of a man in the woods recording music, Bon Iver is the obvious comparison. it just so happens that even when recording in the woods, Timberlake brings Timbaland with him and makes music for people to grind to.

I have no idea what to think of this loving album, because there's Filthy which is a futuristic club banger, but there's also a song on it straight-up called "Flannel" and other tracks on there certainly have folk-y sounding titles, but who the gently caress knows at this point

this totally looks like a double album where the first half is the FutureSex_LoveSounds follow-up that people want and the second half is the Sheeran-core blatant grab at radio play that is going to make all of the money from ad spots. You're absolutely right about the sequence of Flannel/Montana/Breeze Off The Pond/Livin' Off The Land sounding like an opportunity for JT to pick up a guitar and make a John Mayer song or two.

also if Morning Light's feature is Anna Kendrick I'm paying full price for this thing.
