Edit: By the way! Natalia Kills has released two music videos these last two weeks with new songs and holy poo poo they're awesome.

Problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZrZI6OmezE
Saturday Night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cnD_efmM6s
My favorite one is Saturday Night because, for me, she sounds like an entertaining and not-boring Lana del Rey. The chorus is pretty great too.

Oh my word, I love Saturday Night -- I really hope this is the direction Natalia's moving in, it's great.

Lorde is fantastic and I'm way too into her music.

Speaking of which, I just heard Royals on a semi-local rock station in Northern Wisconsin. I think that's the definitive sign that she's made it.

e: Although, listening to her always makes me feel bad about my 16 year-old self... what was I doing all those years?

And now Miley is going on tour with Sky Ferreira and Icona Pop. That will be one hell of a show, that's for drat sure.

From a while back, but holy poo poo I have to see this. I had no idea.

e: Oh, also, just chiming in to say I really appreciate the non-US artists that pop up in this thread that I'd probably miss otherwise.

The human race must be destroyed.

I wish I could empty quote this. Really though, what the gently caress is the appeal of that song? I'm genuinely asking. If there's someone who could explain why they like it I'd appreciate it. Like, I guess it's different from other top 40?

Some good pop:

Ryn Weaver -- Octahate

This song is really, really good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqaOM9tZi64 and pretty much has song of the summer locked down for me.

Charli XCX co-wrote it and Cashmere Cat, Benny Blanco and Passion Pit all co-produced it. It's just a lot of really good things put together. I'm really so unhappy that she doesn't have any other songs out yet.

Also, this guy:

Hozier

Take Me to Church https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYSVMgRr6pw

Work Song -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upaI4D8gwfs

He's been getting pretty big lately, but has been great for a while. He reminds me somewhat of Sam Smith/Mikky Ekko (kind of)/George Ezra: male vocalists who are just way too soulful. Not 100% sure he counts as pop, but he's definitely popular and I wasn't sure where else to post him, so hey.

Whistle is still the best blackpink song

A brave stance in a world where Boombayah exists (yeah they have a lot of great songs this is def one of them). Blackpink is definitely my #1 kpop band.

e: Also, while I'm at it, Pink Pony Club is also a bop:

Yeah, I think not having a commute (or places/events to go to outside...) has really made it a lot harder to have just one song.

I do think Riding Solo by Hind is a strong contender though:

Yeah, her statements on it have also been pretty disappointing- including one that implied she didn't believe Kesha (that she later walked back somewhat, but she's also still working with him so...).

Kim doesn't have a clue what happened with Dr. Luke and Kesha, her statements have always supported Kesha while still retaining it is not her business.

I mean they did get better but one of her first statements re: working with Dr Luke was "I would like my fans to know that I wouldn’t work with somebody I believe to be an abuser of women, definitely not" which seems pretty explicit. Hard to read that as supporting Kesha...

I don't think it's cowardly to not want to entertain bad takes on sexual assault.

Man, yeah, it's such a shame. I listened to her stuff and knew she'd produced for some pop stuff. I found a Spotify playlist with a decent number of the songs she produced on it that's worth a listen I think, I had no idea how much she'd done/how much range she had:
