Wait at this investigative post about Selena Gomez and Julia Michaels being her ghost-singer!

My first suspicions were during Same Old Love. Charli’s voice is loud as f in the chorus and hides Selena. But I said fine, call it a backing vocal.

But when I heard the chorus of Hands to Myself, I brought it up in POPGaf that it doesn’t sound like Selena and sounded like someone else was in the chorus. Much later, I learn who Julia Michaels is and get the neverending cackle that is Bad Liar, in which the high notes of the bridge kick off some straight up Julia Michaels belting with no Selena mixing and it’s so bad and obvious.

Whew.

Here was my first post about Hands to Myself:
http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=191131995

Okay Hands to Myself sounds great but they either layered in another singer for the strong notes to cover Selena's voice or had to manipulate Selena's voice beyond recognition, just like the do for those movie musicals when Tom Cruise isn't really good enough to do the songs full justice outside the whispers and soft notes. Doesn't sound like Selena's range or tone at all once it hits the chorus long notes.

Truly the new J. Lo. Stealing vocals while getting that acclaim, our faves could should never!

I hope Julia Michaels was paid well for singing over Lupita.

Speaking of Julia, her EP is releasing this month!

Tracklist:

1. Issues
2. Uh Huh
3. Worst In Me
4. Make It Up To You
5. Just Do It
6. Pink
7. Don't Wanna Think

 

[whiskeysailor]

Hands to Myself's vocals on the chorus are very suspect, definitely a weird mix of both their voices, not even blended, just sort of switching back and forth depending on the notes.

 

[OrionX]

So my brief and abrupt case of Selena/Bad Liar stanning was actually a symptom of Julia's hidden influence... it all makes sense now.

How can Taylor win back the gays when she never had them in the first place?

Unless they shifted toward her during the 1989 era and I didn't notice?

For a few days but I did bop a bit.

 

[rhandino]

Styles is the best bop in that album

The rest is OK, I guess.

I do use admit that I use Shake It Off but the version that was used in the movie SING

Oh! and New Romantics was a mistake, keep it.

I don't think the gays are a monolith

Compared to To Pimp a Butterfly? I don't think so...was a really good album though, and I love it a lot.

This is the first musical death I have actually cared about, his band's albums helped me get through my own depression and suicidal thoughts...I am sad/pissed off about it.

Tbh I know y'all are gonna drag me for saying this but idc I really do love Lust For Life. I listened to Honeymoon like over 500 times so I knew I was probably going to like whatever she did for the rest of her career but I love the trippy mystery beats in songs like 13 Beaches and Heroin and the heartfelt, sweet sound of songs like Beautiful People and Tomorrow Never Came. God Bless America and Roachella can die tbh but other than that it's a good album to me. I put it below UV and above HM and BTD.

Superior taste tbh

Lust For Life is magnificent.

Don't let a Harry Styles stan bother you. Like..common...

btw: My last.fm has Honeymoon at 655 plays. ✌️

One of the few recent deaths to really hit me.

Anyway, just realized that Lana has a new album out tonight. Will take a peak.

Lana confirmed she's writing her next album lmao

I love a workaholic legend
Edit: Anyway, both Lorde and Lana fucking killed it with their albums and with Kesha and Selena coming next I'll check for both of those when they come out. 2017 slays music wise tbh

[Soulscribe]

Not finished yet with Lana's album, but I'm most intrigued by the songs that sound new for her. Feel like some songs are really progressive for her and others are super safe callbacks. Favorites other than Love are Coachella-Woodstock and God Bless America, though 13 Beaches is interesting too. Didn't really connect with White Mustang or Summer Bummer at all. I stopped at GBAAATBWII (the fuck at that title) so I have about 6 songs left.

 

[Reckoner]

It's my first time listening to Summer Bummer. This production with Lana is so fire. I've been saying ever since High by the Beach dropped she should do a record with rap beats with a stoner vibe.

Speaking about the record, I feel like this is going to be my favorite Lana of all time. The singles grew on me, even if those are the safest callback tracks on the record, and there isn't a track that didn't catch my attention.
