I keep mishearing a lyric in Sia's Broken Glass and it's killing me.

Actual lyric: So don't give up it's just young lovers' romance

What I hear: So don't give up it's just your lover's warm ass

I need Mariah to release new music just for the possibility that she delivers Meteorite 2.0

 

[Soulscribe]

I watched the highlights... what in the world did I just watched? A mess.

Spoiler

But get that british D Tiffany

Oh my God it's soooooo good

Meteorite should have been released as a single

She's been needing a good lace front for years.

Some cute tracks but nothing I love on first listen aside from Move Your Body. Everything else just suffers from either sounding like an awkward Sia or something Sia-lite. Maybe it'll grow on me.

Initial Rating:
2.5/5

1. Bird Set Free - Sounds like half-baked Sia (Xtina?)
2. Alive - Growing on me but very (1k FoF Sia)
3. One Million Bullets - Kinda like; might grow on me (No idea)
4. Move Your Body - Love (W H O rejected this?!) I agree; it sounds very Shakira.
5. Unstoppable - Like (1k FoF Sia)
6. Cheap Thrills - (Very Rihanna but like, generic, lazy Rihanna/Alexis Jordan?)
7. Reaper - Cute (isn't really typical Jessie J sound but I can hear her singing it/Ivy Levan too, but I doubt she even knows ha)
8. House On Fire - Meh (maybe Katy Perry)
9. Footprints - Meh (1k FoF Sia)
10. Sweet Design - Meh (Very DIL Beyonce, maybe Rita Ora?)
11. Broken Glass - Meh (I can hear Celine singing this)
12. Space Between - Maybe a grower (I can only imagine Adele but definitely doesn't sound like she would)
13. Fist Fighting A Sandstorm - Cute pre-chorus but verses/chorus are fairly lackluster (sounds very Demi Lovato to me at the chorus)
14. Summer Rain - Another meh track (No idea)

Takeaways:

• Move Your Body (clearly the best thing about this album)
• Unstoppable
  
• Alive is all right in contrast to the other tracks
• Space Between
• One Million Bullets

Granted, these are all rejected tracks but I was hoping Sia would attempt some tweak that breathed some "Sia life" into them but I feels mostly hollow.

/5

We know Cheap Thrills, Alive and Reaper were rejected by Rihanna, as confirmed by Sia herself.

Rhat says ANTi is dropping "super soon"

She also liked a post hinting at something happening this Friday

I figured there may have been info about what was rejected by whom but I decided to determine that by her sonic direction. I suppose Alive is very "Diamonds," but Diamonds is also pretty "Sia." That being the case, I'm not surprised why they were rejected.

 

[Matt_]

I'm expecting this friday tbh
I wonder what direction she'll go with the new single, or do you think she'll just let radio decide whatever they want to play and roll with that? Not like shes going to have much time to film a video, unless shes already got one to go

The next single is "Work" (featuring Drake). She shot a video two weeks ago. It sounds like a tropical/caribbean "Hotline Bling" from the small snippet we heard.

 

[Frodo]

I'm okay with ANTi dropping on Friday.

AS LONG AS it is not Tidal only, of course.

 

[Mau ®]

I don't think it'll be a full TIDAL exclusive. Coldplay had a TIDAL contract that was the same as Rihanna's and their album was sold on the same regular channels. It was streaming exclusive to TIDAL for a week, and the service also had an exclusive tour ticket sale. That was it.

 

[Soulscribe]

Not sure I'm catching the appeal of "Move Your Body" at least not the same way you all have. Yeah it definitely sounds like a Shakira reject but it also sounds like every house-pop dance song from 2011. That ooooooh-a-a-ahh hook is the safest bet in modern pop music, for all its likability.

don't get disappointed though when we already have heard a few of her already released singles

bitch better have my money

[Blood Diamonds]

bbhmm is tbe only good single

 

[Frodo]

So, that B.o.B. diss track got me to listen Mariah's Obssesed (also a diss track, if you are not aware). The track is trash, but that music video is gold.

Mariah is a nice looking boy.

 

[rhandino]

Drake is going to give Rihanna her next #1, bookmark me.

bbhmm is tbe only good single

1) FourFiveSeconds
2) #BBHMM







































































Eugh) American Oxygen

Both Rihanna and Gaga have the same definition of the word "soon" which is essentially "before I turn 30"

so you and roy are both turning 30, what other daddies do we have in here?

 

[Mau ®]

Not only is "FourFiveSeconds" the best ANTi single, it's also one of her best songs ever.

 

[rhandino]

Not a single lie spotted.

I was lukewarm to it at first but is such a chill song that I cant help but love it.

 

[Floridian]

If Rih could release ANTi before I turn 21 that'd be great.

 

[Zutroy]

FourFiveSeconds is meh. I don't mind when it comes on but I'd never actively play it.

It wouldn't make a top 20 Rihanna tracks for me.

BBHMM shits though. More like that please RiRi.

 

[rhandino]

We need more music videos like the one for #BBHMM, that was dope.

 

[Professor Beef]

I stopped hating on BBHMM like a week after tho. The other singles are trash tho and stay perched for Kiss It Better.

Let ha know

So do what you want
What you want with my body
Do what you want
Don't stop, let's party
Do what you want
What you want with my body
Do what you want
What you want with my body

Write what you want
Say what you want 'bout me
If you’re wondering
Know that I'm not sorry

Do what you want
What you want with my body
What you want with my body

You can't have my heart
And you won't use my mind but
Do what you want (with my body)
Do what you want with my body
You can't stop my voice cause
You don't own my life but
Do what you want (with my body)
Do what you want (with my body)

Take that back, I'm 26, though my Facebook statuses suggest 38. Also I feel like the gays use the word "daddy" for anyone over 18 now. lol

Go off on Blood Diamonds.

Talking about Blood Diamonds (Not the gaffer) I noticed he is working on Charli's album. Not too sure what to expect from the album now.

This is offtopic from Rih's impending slayage but -

I'm tired of all these damn "best of" lists having Nirvana as number one. Nirvana is so overrated and their music wasn't even that good. Smells Like Teen Spirit is one of THE most overrated songs of all time. Tbh Nirvana's music was more boring than even something Lana could muster so bye

I won't argue against Nirvana being influential, but jesus fucking christ they were boring as shit. Thank the good lord that gangsta rap was already on the come-up because it gave me something to listen to as a child.

Remember if you are white, young and famous and die automatically your shit goes into the best territory. I don't discredit Nirvana cause they have some good songs but I feel if Kurt were still alive the band wouldn't be as big as it is now for the internet culture.

No wonder her "music" career is over. She tries so hard to replicate others.
