What do you guys think about the album Trouble by Natalia Kills?

Paging the good sis Nito.
But I like Trouble well enough. It's better than her first alber, and Saturday Night kind of shits on a lot of other songs.

It's good. Better than Glorious, at least.

I actually rather liked it, tbh. It had a bit of a punch to it, which I appreciated, and her turn of phrase is unique enough.
Don't worry, someone will be along shortly with their dissertation on Ms Kills to discuss her work in more detail.

Never heard any of her previous stuff, but my favorite songs in Trouble are:
-Television
-Problem
-Saturday Night
-Devils Don't Fly
-Malboro Lights
I'm so new to Pop tbh the only things I hear are Lana Del Rey, Lady Gaga, and Lorde.

Pills fall like diamonds from my purse
Right out the hole in my fur coat
Straight down the gutter goes
My antidote to a broken girl
I promise I'll be the one you want
Don't tell me I'm unfixable
You don't know what it's like to be seventeen with no place to go
Give me just one night
And I'll be almost fine
Remind me one more time
It's the best days of my life
Iconic.

Would you like some recommendations? More modern stuff or some oldies, perhaps?
That would pretty much match my list of faves from Trouble as well. I wouldn't bother with her previous album, it's completely different and painfully generic.
Want my "Damage" era back!

If it helps, I also listen to Sky Ferreira and love Beyonce's new albumOh sis...
Yeah please, I think I both oldies and modern stuff would help, since some songs like Crazy in Love are still amazing.

Mess, she had her TFM, BTW, and ARTPOP eras all wrapped up into one. As I (and many others) accurately predicted, the GP would not be here for her antics, and there's only so many times you can pose nude in order to gain attention. Her tour is flopping, her third single flopped, and no one is talking about her. A gaga tii. And people called her the new Rihanna? :ahh:

E3 will wash it all away, no worries
fitting that someone like you would get hyped about announcements and not actually playing games
Announcements are all the 4nus stans have left. Not like there are any games on the platform.
is you mad I dont want to play games that came out when Xtina was still relevant
but its fitting that someone like you would give into nostalgia, sorryboutit

How bizarre, I was actually about to recommend Sky as well! Night Time, My Time is definitely up your street based on your previous examples. And Beyonce's new album is actually kinda indie and inaccessible in some instances, makes it easier to recommend some of my weirder ones.
Oh, you're thinking oldies like Crazy in Love, ten years ago, I'm thinking more a billion years ago lol. Actually, some of the people who I was thinking of aren't even pop lol.
There is going to be so much wrong in these paragraphs, but it's just my feelings so bye. Just append the words 'for me' after every sentence.
You really don't know what you've unleashed.
I definitely think this album is central to anyone's pop education, and anyone that disagrees can take several seats:
Some people say that the Immaculate Collection is dated, I don't want to know those people. In terms of pure pop, this is flawless, and basically the genesis of female pop as we know it today. You may have to get over a hump with the 80s sound, but it's so worth it when it clicks. You'll have picked up most of these songs over time anyway, considering they're all basically part of the public consciousness. If anything ever sounds clichéd, please be aware that the cliché originates here, and so much has been derived from the songs in this album that it's ridiculous. It's technically an 80s greatest hits album, but I think it's better this way. The only album you'd really have to go back to on its own merits is Like a Prayer. For the genesis of male pop, I'd recommend Thriller, because MJ is flawless (and that's basically a greatest hits album in itself).
Recommended Tracks: Into The Groove, Express Yourself, Vogue
Alternatively, considering you like Gaga, I'd say Confessions on a Dance Floor basically created the blueprint for modern dancepop, so that'd be a good start if you want to hear the best of recent Madonna, and an album that will be a little easier on your ears. Just make sure it's the Continuous Mix, that's very important to truly understand the album.
Recommended Tracks: Hung Up, Get Together... you really need to go through the album in order. Forbidden Love and Isaac are personal favourites tho.
My personal favourite Madonna album is Ray of Light. However, I don't think it'd be the best jumping-off point for you and I think it's easier for you to get into Madonna from one of the above two albums considering where you're at, but do try it if you're in the mood for something that's possibly a little bit different (but not too different, it's still pop music lol). Ray of Light is really the genesis of electronica and Eastern influences in modern pop music (if it ain't then I don't know what is tbh), and it's even more remarkable contextually when you consider that her contemporaries had become Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera etc and this was really her first time going up against younger women and beating them at their own game. It's proof of how she (used to) raise the bar and go her own way. But really, the entire discography is worthwhile. Erotica, Like a Prayer, Music, Bedtime Stories... no two albums are ever the same, you could just listen to Madonna and you wouldn't get bored (well, you would, but that's why this post keeps going).
Recommended Tracks: Ray Of Light, Skin, Frozen
Moving on from elitist territory:
If you like Beyonce's most recent work, then try B'Day. I prefer it to Beyonce, even though it really is quite close. It's a more fun album than Beyonce tbh, and it has some of my favourite songs. Green Light is the song that truly got me into Beyonce in a way that was beyond: 'Oh the lead singer of Destiny's Child is still going?'. The album is the perfect crossroads between artistry, lyricism and accessibility (aside from Beyonce the album, but you've already listened to that sooo nobody try it). All of Beyonce's albums excel in certain areas, but B'Day is the perfect storm of all her different positives melding into something magical.
Recommended Tracks: Green Light, Freakum Dress, Get Me Bodied (Extended Mix)
A more recent album that you may enjoy:
I think you'll like Ellie Goulding, actually. She's in a weird place, kind of folksy, kind of electronica, and I think you'd dig it. Well, at least on Bright Lights. Halcyon Days is a bit more straightforward electropop. I don't have a lot to say here, this is just general breadth from the past five years or so. It's a solid album, you should enjoy it. She's fun. This is mostly based off of who you've said you already like, they're sort of stylistically similar. Maybe.
Recommended Tracks: Guns and Horses, Under The Sheets, Lights
Finally, a weird one:
Kimbra is a goddess and a legend, and she will bless you with her divine benevolence. This is a bit more soulful yet jazzy, well produced yet raw, and twenty times more unconventional than anything else on this list. You may find it a bit difficult to get your head around at first, the first few bars of Settle Down makes you think you're in for some strange experimental voodoo. But it opens up into a magnificent record, and one of my favourites of the past few years. It's incredibly varied and she plays around with her vocals in a manner that not many do. She's an exceptional artist and some of these tracks are phenomenal. Please do give it a try.
Recommended Tracks: Settle Down, Cameo Lover, Posse
Well, that's a lot to be getting on with, do come back for extras later. I think you'd like these girls the most for now, and I wouldn't want to overwhelm. My personal faves are a bit different but also more difficult, most likely.
However, if you want extra credit, in terms of general music education, and moving away from Pop entirely now:
These three albums (and people) changed my life, and they changed the lives of all the women you listen to today, whether they know it or not. Especially the former two. Kate Bush, Grace Jones and Bjork are all legends, each with their own particular niche, but I'm frankly uncertain how to quantify them because they defy genre.
Kate Bush is heavier, a bit rocky, but her lyricism and artistry are unmatched. I adore her.
Grace Jones is the original unconventional gay music icon and a complete diva, with a bit more of a reggae sound, perhaps? She does everything, really.
Bjork is an Icelandic goddess who leans more on the electronic side for her best and most famous albums, but she's fascinating. When someone isn't a native English speaker, they work with the language in a really interesting way, and she's at the forefront of that.
I'm recommending greatest hits albums here because they're the best brief snapshots that you're going to get of their overall masterful careers. They're all phenomenal. I definitely think you'll enjoy them. If you like what you hear here, try Hounds of Love, Nightclubbing and Vespertine respectively.
Kate Bush Tracks: Running Up That Hill, Wuthering Heights, The Dreaming
Grace Jones Tracks: Slave to the Rhythm, I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango), Pull Up to the Bumper
Bjork Tracks: Pagan Poetry, All Is Full of Love, Hyperballad
Hope this helps. I've realised I probably failed to quantify what 'old' and 'new' actually were, but sigh.
Everyone can now resume shading each other.
Y'all kill me with this.
Let me tell you young bitches something. Every gen the same thing gets said about Sony consoles ("PSX/PS2/PS3 got no games!") And every damn gen, every damn gen, the same thing happens: The Sony console goes through an initial dry spell and then, around the time of its first full holiday season, the floodgates open...and guess what?
THEY DON'T CLOSE
PSX, PS2, PS3 all went through the same initial dry-spell...and then they were all FLOODED with games and a AAA release schedule that didn't stop until well after the new console was out. Like, I wish I could say that I was upset that I don't have a PS4 yet. But I'm not. And why? Because I'm still too busy getting my pussy pounded by my PS3.
Meanwhile. y'all sittin up here like these few games the Wii U's gotten aren't the only games its gonna get. Get ready for your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th dry spells.

Whatever, it's embarrassingly impassioned and stupid. I'd rather most of y'all didn't read it lol.
As long as YoungBlade reads it and takes something from it, it's fine.
