I'll tell you a SECRET.
I refuse to DISCUSS THINGS with you until you be RID of that OVERUSED GIF. Then the FUN can BEGIN
But you said this argument started from a claim of deflection. It did not, so I don't understand where we're ending up now.
It did not? But am I wrong in assuming that your belief that I was wrongfully deflecting shade at Gaga fuel your position in this argument, even if you didn't actually use the word itself until a few posts later? Because that's what I began to think right about here. If I'm wrong I'm wrong.
how does one "sell out" as a pop artist
Probably by having a string of top 10 singles. I don't know any other way.

The height of IRONY.
The GIF not ur fave

2 top ten singles broken apart with a few flops counts as a string now?

I apologise for my antics at the VERY LEAST.
Isn't that one of the people who sang Super Bass on youtube?
She was also the one that populated that song and made it what it was. Your point, hun?
She obviously liked that song enough to give it FREE promotion at her LA concert.
I actually thought about this... and no.
Well, still.................................

It must be false to be libelous! Where is the falsehood?
Before we begin, like all good SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS, do you have any PERSONAL INTERESTS to DECLARE?
I'm a believer now. This album is POPTASTIC.
Bless Xenomania and Girls Aloud *.*

Damn, she looks so fake. That weave is disgusting.

You mean the gif? Nope. I just like the gif; I don't know where it comes from.

RECEIPTS
When I first heard Buster Keaton, I actually thought that it sounded slightly familiar, but then I realised it really wasn't. It kind of reminds me of what a track would sound like if Kimbra and Kate Miller-Heidke (an Australian who has failed to break through ANYWHERE) were to collaborate on a song. The soft spoken vocals aren't, honestly, my cup of tea. The speaking interludes in this song also remind me of Ed Sharpe's "Home". The production is incredibly smooth and I love the soulful voice in this one.
I actually didn't realise how much of a Soul record this was, and the uplifting vocals in Slippin continue to surprise me. Not that I had any expectations going in though I was expecting a more electronic album. I really like this song though for some reason, you can't help but feel happy when you listen to it ;_; The clip is LOL.
I really love the jazzy feel that Day has in it's intro and the general ambient feel of this track, which also gives me Massive Attack teas. Despite this I do find it a little bit too sombre and I lost interest in it quite fast. It's not a track I would be scrambling back to listen to.
What a funky opening to Jeans! The whole track sounds like a soulful throwback to the roaring 60s. I really like it, despite this kind of thing commonly not being my thing. I think songs like these are really what define "groove" tbh especially with this constant sax riffing *O*
Pressure - more 60s throwbacks! I love the use of what I think is piano in this track, it makes it just a little bit more catchy. Like Slippin, you listen to this kind of music and it just makes you a little bit happier.
Reducing the tempo to what I can only describe as a Jessie Ware-esque piece of work, Horse seems to really scale back the production and provide nearly raw vocals and fluidly combined instruments to create something quite beautiful. I really liked this track and it is potentially my most favourite on the album.
Average Fruit seems to strike a balance between the slow, downbeat ambient noise and just enough production to create something that isn't too boring. The vocals in this track, in particular, are soft enough - with all the raises in tones being well controlled and not BELTING, which is nice.
Unpatience is another nice down tempo track, but it doesn't do heaps for me. Not bad, not amazing. Just middleground tbh.
Far Cry was and is the first point where I started to notice how similar these songs all sound and it quite frankly got a little bit tiring to listen to this album. I appreciate all these ambient tracks, but they do all sound a little bit too similar.
Tone is another down tempo track, but this time it feels a little bit like an interlude rather than a full fledged song. It does give me these kind of Bob Marley / Reggae esque teas though, which is a nice change of TONE (lol) for this album thus far.
Simili Life sounds like lounge music crossed with Final Fantasy music. Not particularly a fan personally but it sounds okay.
Seems fitting that the only track which is really slow that I like, Herfra Hvor VI Star doesn't seem to be in English. ;_; This "sounds" good but I have absolutely no idea what the song is about, so I guess that's all I can say about that one.
Generally speaking, this album gives me really heavy Kimbra teas, though this is more of a soulful record than Kimbra's Vows with a bit of a slower pace. I can see myself returning to several of these tracks definitely, but I personally don't know whether or not I would be bothered buying the album. I understand the appeal, but there's only so much of this slower, down tempo music I can take before I get bored and fall asleep. ;_; I can say this of any artist who makes music like this, not just Quadron, but I noticed it particularly with this album which I personally feel is just one song too long.

The song is being played here without any featured artists and billed just as Mariah Carey.
It hasn't even charted into the ARIA TOP 50 at all =/

She could always sing the hook on a song for Meek Mills again.
But we know how that went
