Eh. Their Sweden only EP is still the best. Such a shame, I remember when people were calling them "the new ABBA"

Nothing can be the new ABBA.


Remember A*Teens tho? Lol

OMG I actually had one of those CDs when I was a kid. Mess.

Literally Teenz Bop doing ABBA covers. Not as tragic as some stuff Kidz Bop does but still weak af.

 

[Phreaker]

Hmmmm I see potential for improvement tbh. Lets not forget a few artists that were trash on their first performances and now are decent performers.

They have potential for sure, even some of their other live performance weren't that bad.

I tried to preview Ivy Levan's new tracks, but I could only listen to parts of 27 Club and Killing You (feat. Sting). (U.S. iTunes)

 

[rhandino]

Girl... it is basically Carly and a GoPro I wanted something better.

I don't completely blame her, I guess that she had to cut corners after spending all those marketing coins on that messy attempt at viral video with IRLY.

Was people really saying that Icona Pop was going to be the ABBA of our generation?

 

[Blood Diamonds]

YASS!!! It's amazing, but man the struggle live is real.

The 2012 Lana parallels are real

Welcome back Bayo!

Spoiler

fight me for that Lana shade sis

sounds like calvin harris is actually moving on from the trademark sound from his smash breakout single Bounce, his new single is actually pretty okay

Wow, nice!! For a minute I thought it was going to be a BeeGee's cover.

Bless Rihanna for rihjecting his submissions for R8 and showing him the error of his ways.

i miss you has been punching my anus these past couple of days.

 

[You Know Nothing]

Okay @ the new Calvin Harris song actually being good.

Just in time for the new Disclosure alberm to render ha irrelevant.

Clearly being in a relationship with QUALITY MUSICIAN Taylor Swift has made him improve his craft.

No wonder Motion was so dull and lacking. Being in a relationship with Rita Ora must have drained his soul.

Let me stream it on Apple Music.

It certainly needs all the streams it can get.

It has 14m views on YouTube. Not bad tbh.

Poison (My Eardrums) would have been hot for a quick minute back in 2010.

Rihanna is still charting though. Meanwhile where is the other?

I like how when someone's fave has literally 1 top 10 hit (which took how many albums to do?) versus actual established artists who have a few duds they think they have some kind of right to drag. The bravery &#128514;&#128514;&#128514;

That was cute... Our dearly departed sis Artemesia hipped me to the new Jazmine Sullivan while I was on sabbatical. This song slayed me immediately and completely.

Let me recommend Victoria Monet Nightmares & Lullabies Act 1 & 2

Lana dropped her hauntingly beautiful song "Honeymoon"

[rhandino]

Lana dropped her hauntingly beautiful song "Honeymoon"

Well, that's a way to describe it.

 

[You Know Nothing]

Honeymoon is trashE. Even Lana can't stay awake during her own song.

That being said, I still think the instrumentation is gorgeous. But Lana's typical vocals don't add any zest and it all becomes meandering and forgettable.

 

[You Know Nothing]

God talks about her forthcoming alberg.

Can you talk about what direction the new album is going in?

I don't really know why this word seems appropriate but it's definitely bigger. Whether that means it's more adventurous, or a bit more ambitious, or a bit more daring, I don't know. But I'm certainly taking on something a lot bigger than I have before and sonically it's a lot bigger. I feel like there were maybe certain restrictions on the last album. But I'm at a point now with this album where it's just taken on a new life now of its own and I can't stop it. So that album is coming out and what people make of it I don't know, but it is coming. It's nearly finished and it will be out this year. Even if it's out on 30 December, which is my birthday, it will be out this year.

In addition to Laleh, who else are you writing with on the album?

I've worked with Diplo. I've worked with producers that I have known for years – Jim Eliot from my last album. I love working with him. I thought the stuff that we did together was something really special, so I had a 'you don't fix what isn't broken kind of attitude.' He's just wonderful and I got to go back to my home town [Hereford], which helps the writing process a lot. But then also I've been adopted into the Max Martin camp and I love them all dearly.

As long as Dipblow is kept to a minimum this could be good. Eliot produced most of Halcyon. So it certainly has that going for it.

And out this year. Smite me, God.

 

[<+)O Robido O(+>]

Patricia Louise Holte-Edwards, 71, has been slaying your faves since 1958. Here she is in 2015 letting you know that your faves ain't shit, ain't never gonna be shit, and that their vocals sound like shit.

Being mad would be pointless. Just accept it for what it is. Also notice that she ain't got a stitch of make up on and at 71 looks a whole hell of a lot less haggard than your young never beens.

 

[BadMediaKarma]

Who is this directed at?

I don't know you tell me. Does your fave match the description?

 

[The Flop]

I don't know you tell me. Does your fave match the description?

Nope,

My favs had a top ten hit on their FIRST album. So nope.

A dearly departed soul left this gem in my inbox this morning.

Your british tendency of getting hammered every other day has clearly affected your recollection, for not only Rihanna made Calvin who he is today but it was Rihanna herself who distanced from Calvin's WFL sound a year later with the Grammy-winning Unapologetic. And she has rejected his work ever since.

Then you have no reason to wonder who it's about

And yet Clavin made 70 million dollars last year while Rhat was absent from every earnings list.

 

[Floridian]

Rih is still in the hundreds of millions dollar club, which is way more than I guaranteed 99% of her haters will ever reach in their lifetime. And Rih reached top 10 with her debut single so i'm not sure who PrettyGirlKharma is even talking about.
