Bladenic and Nito, this one's for you.

Alexandra Stan - Unlocked (album sampler)

I didn't even have a clue she was releasing an album so soon! It sounds kind of terrible, but maybe it's just me.

Can we shake him off of existence?

Co-signing this. He's vile.

Props to King Vazduh for adding Galantis to the Spotify playlist. They're great *.*

Glad you loved them! They're very good, check out their EP if you have the time.

Shake it Off is like a 7-7.5/10 to me but I can't stop listening to it. It's so infectious.

Raticate with a Pidgey on top. A disaster.

Noooooo

 

[Touchdown]

Rob stanning hard for JT? Who knew?

 

[Partition]

so My Everything is REALLY bad, worse than I expected. Break Free is probably the best song, so you know what that is saying.

"Why Try" made me cry, tears from the extreme laughter that ensued because I never knew something could be so awful.

"Hands On Me" is a rather embarrassing rape-anthem with one of the laziest choruses ever.

"Best Mistake" was her attempt to recreate Beyoncé's "Mine" in order to make her album sound like it had style, but it was a weak attempt.

Poor Ariana though, now she will be forced to produce shit like this instead of the actual decent music she made with her debut.

RIP

I still have hope that the album will sound decent when I get a chance to listen to it.

Given how hard popgaf fumes about break free and it's still amazing all I can take home from this is that ariana has produced the aoty

i saw leonard too

http://www.popjustice.com/thenews/robyns-said-some-things-about-a-new-ep/130111/

“I’ve been working on this EP with Markus [Jägerstedt], who’s in my band, and a producer by the name of Christian Falk, who is this Swedish guy that I worked with for many years, since I was like 15 – we worked on my first album, even.”
“He tragically and very sadly passed away two weeks ago. He was sick for a while before he died, and that’s also one of the reasons I wanted to make sure that we got that material out there, before he actually disappeared from the face of this earth.”
“So he was able to be a part of that a little bit before he went. It’s also changed the songs a little bit, me and Markus are still working on it. It’s going to be strange, but very healing, to finish the record without Christian.”

she's coming again

 

[Bladenic]

does that alter my point?

sorry i'll be sure to read the thread more thoroughly next time

[edit] speaking of which i see that never forever already covered robyn

 

[tmarques]

remember when people thought he was attractive

His attempt at facial hair... The perils of surrounding yourself with yes-men.

 

[Never Forever]

Confession: I've barely listened to the Lord's debut album

Shake It Off is a gift from heaven, I hope that the entire album is as fun and addictive

Aural cocaine tbh

 

[You Know Nothing]

I've been having several moments with Speak Now.

Dear John and Enchanted are jusT. Take me there Lordt.

 

[Soulscribe]

Omg now I know what the Shake It Off video reminds me of: an Apple ad!

General blondeness, whites being carefree, only the handsomest black people selected for the shoot, the white background, the hyper-awareness, the appeal to upper middle class/lower upper class demos, stylish clothing, a youthful un-inclusive spirit.

If Shake It Off is the visual equivalent to the iPhone then Anaconda would be the Samsung Galaxy S5. And Human Liger Rita Ora will always be Windows Phone, assuming she makes music or music videos. I dunno.

 

[Vazduh]

It's going to be, that's for sure.

I mean, Max Martin co-wrote and produced most of the tracks, I wouldn't expect anything less than fun and catchy.

Speaking of Max, the man is a living legend, tbh. He's sold more than 135 million songs so far. Impressive, isn't it?

For those interested, two years ago Popjustice made a great playlist with songs he wrote, co-wrote and produced. You can listen to it here.

 

[Vitanimus]

I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

I go on to many dates [chuckle]
But I can't make 'em stay
At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

But I just keep on cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Singing, "It's gonna be alright."

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

take me to CHURCH

 

[Bladenic]

yall better stan for the pop song of the decade

also can someone link to the popgaf playlist i realized i never followed it

 

[Never Forever]

Here's the playlist

I think it needs a clean tho, some of the tracks are getting rather old :eyes:

And I tried to listen to that Max Martin playlist Vazduh but within a minute I was back to Shake It Off. Its power will not be denied.

Spoiler

My flatmates are going to hate me so fucking much :rip:

Its more of a GAP ad

it's not aspirational enough to be an iPhone ad

Forbes: The Dumbing Down Of Taylor Swift
The music of female pop singers, not to mention the pop singers themselves, is so interchangeable these days that it’s difficult to tell them apart. Jesse J, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, Rita Ora – unless you’re a 14 year old girl you’d be hard-pressed to identify which is which when played back to back. The last star we expected to fall into this crowd was Taylor Swift, but there she is, dumbed down like the rest of them with her latest release “Shake It Off.”

There's nothing amazing about it bu it was literally the only thing running though my head yesterday when I wasn't worshipping at the altar of Break The Playcount.

The Knife are breaking up

 

[Courage]

Are y'all listening to My Everything yet? Takes a shit on The Elusive Flopteuse

One Last Time is a banger. Ariana nailed the Rihanna sound.

 

[cory64]

Lutece praise the good sis LeonaLewis for correctly divining that My Everything would be vastly inferior to Yours Truly.
Still decent tho

 

[WhereAreMahDragonz]

Tove Lo is #32 on iTunes.

Coming to slay!

I still wished she kept the spoken word intro in from the demo, it added to the intensity. MJH still slays me every so often. But yeah, lately I've been all about the title track.

 

[twobear]

well her career certainly died for its sins

 

[royalan]

http://www.forbes.com/sites/bobbyowsinski/2014/08/21/the-dumbing-down-of-taylor-swift/

I agree with the basic point that Taylor Swift has sold out and become a caricature of herself at this point, but the rest of the article can be summed up as Old Man Yells at Cloud and "But she writes her own songs!"

Hate to tell you this, sir, but the reason all these pop acts you mentioned sound alike to you is because you don't ACTUALLY listen to popular music...but you're writing about it for some reason...

Serving Rokurokubi realness

PS. I went to artRAVE and met Gaga. It was amazing. I feel bad that some people had to attend when she wasn't at the peak of her game but she was very energetic and very alive during the meet and greet. I was super impressed and the atmosphere doesn't translate from photos. It's actually much better. I do think it is a bit shit that she's not always 100% though because otherwise Drew/B-Dex might have had a similar experience to me but didn't.

let me just go back to wishing I was attending another date ._.

Gaga was so nice ;_;

I hate this bitch

Why does she need to slag off skinny people, it's really upsetting

She's just a bully like Iggy Azalea and Katy Perry

I saw on your Twitter how much fun you had, bless. I'm glad you had a nice time. Did she play many songs you liked?

Yes girl. Lettuce hope the entire video is like the first minute of the Genesis video

Hoping Tove Lo smashes too, I've liked everything she's put out so far. That and the fact she has a writing credit on Icona Pop's best song "Ready for the weekend" and the simply iconic "Something New" by Gods Aloud
Has her new video, Not On Drugs, been posted? It's good
