I don't know what specific bands you have in mind but the early 2000s were another nadir of pop music, so it wouldn't surprise me.

Idk why but when I think 2000s music, I think Regina Spektor

Edit: its probably due to that samson copypasta

If we want to fully stick it to the lady who thinks you should just drain a situation for everything it's worth and gently caress everyone else, I think the best thing to do is listen to and enjoy (if it's good) the fruits of her labour in one of the many ways that pays her gently caress all for it.

What's your fave now?

I put her on shuffle and thought she was ok. �Blue� was decent on first listen but I wasn�t really hooked until I heard �Happy.� Then �Teen Idle� came on 10-20 minutes later followed by �I�m A Ruin.�

The weirdest thing is that I know I listened to Froot when it first came out but didn�t think anything of it.

If you want exhausting, you should try to read Megan Trainer�s press release in one sitting.

If you want exhausting, you should try to read Megan Trainer’s press release in one sitting.

quote:

(February 8, 2019 - Los Angeles, CA) -- Valentine's Day is around the corner, and whether you're planning on smashing bae's junk to smithereens or making out with a pint of Phish Food, you need some fresh Valentine's Day bops to get you in the mood for L♡VE. And MEGHAN TRAINOR has got you covered with her new EP, THE LOVE TRAIN [Epic Records.]

You know you want it. And you can freakin' get it b*tch. On all digital platforms right HERE.

Meghan's seducing your ears this V-Day, and you know she knows a thing or two about romance. Unless your phone's been broken for a hot minute, you know that Meghan just got married to the ginger from Spy Kids, and trust when we say, girl is feeling the love. She took a break from her busy schedule to record some fire tracks in Los Angeles alongside frequent collaborators and producers Andrew Wells [5SOS, Fall Out Boy, Jason Mraz], J KASH (Maroon 5, Charlie Puth, Kesha) and Tyler Johnson [Harry Styles, CAM].

We know you want to hear songs about all the hot newlywed sex Meghan and Daryl Sa-BAE-ra are having (did you see what we did there?). Which is why you'll love the banging' single "All The Ways." Billboard was wet for "All The Ways," calling it "another fun, danceable track to fall in love with." And would Billboard lie to you, girl?

But perhaps the piece de resistance (that's French for "Wig Snatch") is "Marry Me," a romantic acoustic guitar and ukulele-tinged Awww Fest which delivers all the feels (and then more feels). Meghan wrote the song thirty days after meeting Daryl, and it was so good that she walked down the aisle to it. We know, it's a little bit #Vomworthy, but also, am I chopping onions right now or are those tears rolling down my face? I'm not crying, you're crying.

And as always, our Grammy-Winning, Diamond Single-having QUEEN didn't just come to play -- she came to slay. She's serving vocals on the passionate, Celine Dion-esque power ballad "After You." Plus, Meghan's serving your insatiable thirst for dance-ready bops with the upbeat banger that is "Foolish." It slaps so hard you'll be stanning for days. "As if all the PDA, including foot massages, butterfly kisses and piggy back rides aren't cringe worthy enough," says her brother and videographer Ryan... "I've got to film it all!"

Choo choo betch! The Love Train is leaving the station and you better get on board.

Billie Eilish is a gift to pop music. she reminds me a lot of Lana Del Rey from her Born to Die era, but not aesthetically, just in how she makes her music and her persona. Like a 2019 version of the sort of person who would write Video Games and then release an absolutely stellar, very hip-hop inspired first album. I hope her next album is as wonderful as Ultraviolence is.

edit: she's apparently a big Odd Future fan and now I want her and Tyler to make an album together

I know half her fans will be disappointed for it not being more Emotion, but I'm drat excited and all her in between singles have been solid so.

_{I'm probably weird for thinking it's weird she chose to be "more sexy" for this cycle, but then I remember all her songs are thirsty as gently caress anyway. .}

Surprise, surprise: Anthony Fantano lied to me. This Billie Eilish album is not great lol

This clipping poo poo sucks. Mix it better or don't release it, gently caress.

I mean it worked for Sleigh Bells but it absolutely does not work for every artist.

The way she sings kinda reminds me of Melanie Martinez, except she does this style so much better. When the gently caress is she putting out another album? Cry Baby is like 4 years old. It's also one of my favorite albums of the decade tho.
