I made myself a new LastFM account (and I imported my iTunes history from my old computer), in case any of you would like to add me!

The sad thing about MKS is the fact that the momentum has gone. They need a smash single, but who knows if it will ever get happen since their label isn't doing anything, obviously. I hope they get to release something soon, it's the closest we'll get to another Sugababes album.

I believe in them! This album is gonna be released this year, I can feel it!

 

[Matt_]

I'm with you, actually. I loved Primadonna, Radioactive... and that was it. Maybe I should give it another chance?

Oh you should. For some reason I haven't got her first album (even though most seem to prefer it) but I adore her second one. Bless her for the Heartbreaker video tbh

All this Sugababes talk made me listen to GOAT Push The Button. Lord what a bop.

Wait... You guys are starting a podcast? This is dope! When is this kicking off?

 

[Never Forever]

The change was obvious
So miscellaneous
We used to live it up
Remember baby
We're like a pack of cards
The king and queen of hearts
All fall down

Stay gone
Darling, I won't hang on
I can feel a flatline
That ought to be a wave
Oh no
Darling, I can't hang on
I can feel a flatline
That ought to be a wave

These HARMONIES
This song is absolutely magnificent.
I don't give a shit about anyone else who's been given the runaround by a record label (aside from Imogen but she's so rich she can just release it herself), but I need this album ASAP
I've been reading interviews from late last year when they were still under the impression that we would have the album by the end of Q2 :rip: They even thought that the second single would've premiered by Christmas 2013. Sigh.

The 'behind the scenes' stuff is obviously the label trying to ensure that they do have a hit single and to make the most of all the work they've done with Sia, Dev Hynes etc. which is all very much on-trend but idk. 2014 is a terrible year for any artist trying to establish and what with Taylord, Rihsus, Her Madgesty and Adole looming over Q4 there isn't going to be a realistically 'perfect' timing to relaunch a comeback and get a #1.

Music politics are so upsetting

Spoiler

I bet even Say Lou Lou will release their album before MKS :rip:

Btw, I saw you listened to the standard edition of Warrior, slé.

Check out the Deluxe tracks for additional slayage:

Last Goodbye (my fave track off the entire album and by far my favorite Ke$ha song)
Gold Trans Am
Out Alive
Past Lives

Ooh, these are good. End me Kesha Rose. I hate the moneygrubbing bastard who pioneered the 'Deluxe Edition' as a thing, stealing all the songs from the poor. Gonna have to mop these up on iTunes. Past Lives, especially... I need Lipsha. Is that still happening?

Deluxe edition of Warrior reminds me of Bionic, where the superior tracks were also relegated to the Deluxe edition. Money grubbing bastards indeed.

I occasionally check out my friends' profiles, that's what last.fm is for

The same guys who produced #LoveJo are working on her third album, so I think it's bound to be at least solid.

Her vocals will be off the charts, that's for sure. Just check out this recent clip where she did a vocal warm up (especially the part at 1:40). She just makes it look so easy!

Oh yeah, her voice is just phenomenal on that song. I love how it almost cracks at some points.

 

[Vazra]

I'm not here for your entertainment
You don't really want to mess with me tonight
Just stop and take a second
I was fine before you walked into my life
Cause you know it's over
Before it began
Keep your drink just give me the money
It's just you and your hand tonight

So I was in a club yesterday and Come and get it from Selena Gomez came on and....it fucking slays...?!?

I distinctly remember it being thoroughly mediocre. When did that change?!

Stargate and Ester Dean delivered a life-giving BOP with CAGI. It's never been mediocre, you just paid it dust cause it was from Selener. But yes, CAGI is perfectly amazing and still slays a year later.

How drunk were you at the time? That can make all the difference.

But Come & Get It is great even while sober.

Foxes - Glorious (MV)

 

[Vazduh]

For me the only thing that's stopping "Come and Get It" from being a truly great bop is the breakdown where Selena wails "this love will be the death of me". I don't know whether it's her delivery or something else, but that's the part where the song loses steam. It's a fun song otherwise, and it's one of many tunes that prove how good Ester Dean is at delivering hooks.

Speaking of Ester and Stargate, here's a great article that describes how they come up with bops for Rihanna and other artists. It's a lengthy yet worthwhile read.

For those who appreciate K-pop songs, here's an insanely catchy one I've been obsessed with today:

f(x) - Butterfly

It was written and produced by Thomas Troelsen, who wrote numerous great pop songs (I mentioned him recently here on POPGAF). I only wish he gave this song to a Western act, because it would have sounded great in English, but since K-pop is his bread and butter nowadays, that won't happen. Oh well.

 

[tali'zorah84]

I was about to come in here and post about Red Light, Vazduh! Seems like a lot of writers/artists are now getting into writing/producing/selling demos off to Korean groups.

It's such a great album though, some of the highlights:

Milk (produced by Teddy Riley)
Boom Bang Boom
Rainbow
Spit It Out

 

[Peru]

I
Milk (produced by Teddy Riley)

Co-produced. Sounds more like (writer/co-composer/producer) Kenzie's usual style.

Yeah, just checked that out. Co-produced. I'm surprised they didn't use any of his contributions as a promotional track though, seemed like they made it a big deal when they got him to work with SNSD.

 

[Ardainian Soldier]

I'm currently listening to Red Light too! It's such a solid K-Pop album. f(x) is slaying me.

 

[Vitanimus]

Your flirt finds me out
Teases the crack in me
Smittens me with hope

Possibly maybe, possibly maybe, possibly maybe

As much as I definitely enjoy solitude
I wouldn't mind perhaps
Spending little time with you
Sometimes, sometimes

Possibly maybe probably love
Possibly maybe probably love

Uncertainty excites me
Baby
Who knows what's going to happen?
Lottery or car crash
Or you'll join a cult

Probably maybe, possibly love
This is probably maybe, possibly love
Possibly

Mon petit vulcan
You're eruptions and disasters
I keep calm
Admiring your lava
I keep calm

Possibly maybe probably love
Possibly maybe probably love

Electric shocks
I love them
With you dozen a day
But after a while I wonder
Where's that love you promised me?
Where is it?

Possibly maybe probably love
Possibly maybe probably love

How can you offer me love like that?
My heart's burned
How can you offer me love like that?
I'm exhausted
Leave me alone

Possibly maybe, possibly maybe, possibly maybe

Since we broke up
I'm using lipstick again
I suck my tongue
In remembrance of you

Possibly maybe, possibly maybe
Possibly maybe, possibly maybe
Possibly maybe, possibly maybe

GOD

The Presets are starting to make an international splash? I am legitimately surprsied. Their greatest work will always be Apocalypso though. Definitely recommend that album to anyone looking for tracks from them. No Fun is a great step in the right direction, since thier last album was boring as fuck.

Mmm, this is OK. It's inoffensive, at least. I love the song, not sure whether it's enough for her to take America by storm but hoping for the best.
