Say Lou Lou have another wonderful track called Maybe You from a while ago (when they were known as Saint Lou Lou). I'm really looking forward to an EP or album from them but I don't know if anything is really happening

Is this the thread for posting about MATANGI because I want to talk about MATANGI, it's great and I can't wait to blast it out of car windows this summer. Such a palate cleanser after MAYA.

nyquil hangover posted:Lorde is a false prophet Might as well mention, there's something curiously entertaining about seeing people whinge about how Lorde is "ruining" pop music. She's had one song out, for goodness' sake. I remember people were complaining about Gotye and fun. ruining pop music last year, and how Adele was ruining pop music the year before that. Pop music can never die even if it does change its face from time to time. Why is this difficult to understand?

The way I've heard it, a lot of it stems from the discussion of authenticity and it's place in music. Lorde is perceived as being sort of a fake product because she has a clear marketing campaign behind her, the same as Lana last year, so a certain category of music listeners feel like they can't listen to her any longer. In my experience these people are also the ones who can't shut up about being completely outside of the influence of commercials and marketing, which is stupid. Who gives a poo poo about authenticity in pop though, I literally couldn't care less as long as the music is catchy. MIDWIFE CRISIS fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Nov 11, 2013 |

Well Lana was designed to appeal to the indie/hipster/whatever they're called crowd so when they found out they'd been duped they went apeshit. Lorde obviously has some backing behind her but I've not seen quite as many meltdowns over her. Any dicey details on her that I don't know of?

People think she's ruining pop music because its not a super upbeat song. Whatever man most pop music on the radio sucks anyway and these people should just be ignored. IMO Lorde is ok I guess, but I always thought Lana sucked and was an obvious cashgrab for that hipster indie audience.

The Brits seem to have a real problem with Lorde for some reason. Almost all the UK Pure Heroine reviews were dismissive and brought up the authenticity issue which is bizarre to me given how autobiographical the album is and also how personally involved with her own aesthetic she is.

Apart from 'female with a low singing voice' and similar tempos maybe they don't really have much in common. LDR is riffing on being a cinematic Nancy Sinatraish sexpot, singing James Dean film scripts and with lush strings everywhere. Lorde is doing introspective, minimalist synth pop inspired by hiphop, electronic music and literature.

My morning radio show I listen to on the way to work played just a snippet from what I think was the middle, couldn't get a lot out of the vibe, a drop like that is nothing without the buildup. They also played Lorde's cover of Tears for Fears which I thought was... Well, it isn't as good as Ellie's one now I have heard the whole thing. - Could only find the snippet that the radio show played. Seems like this is all there is. Might be a lot better in full. The Ellie Goulding song that took the longest for me to come around to, is actually her latest one to be on the radio over here in NZ. Burn - Ellie Goulding

The tracklist for the new Britney album is out! The titles are really intriguing. I'm excited to hear Alien and Don't Cry. The demo for Passenger leaked about a week ago and it's really good. Bummed that she's doing another song with will.i.am, I hope It Should Be Easy isn't just Scream and Shout 2.0.

I like the new Lily Allen song; pop music has moved forward since she did "Smile" and "The Fear" and she's acknowledging that progression while putting her distinctive spin on it. Does anybody think her lyrical approach is influenced by Ian Dury? I've seen the comparison before.

AA is for Quitters posted:gently caress Ke$ha. Speaking of Ke$ha, I just read that Lipsha, her collaboration with the Flaming Lips, won't be released after all, which makes me sad. 2012 (You Must Be Upgraded) was great. By the way, most of her stuff was co-written with Dr. Luke, and apparently they've had a huge falling out over the way her second album, Warrior, came together.

Probably because Warrior was such a flop. She's a good writer and her first 2 CDs were really awesome. But Warrior was generic and about 2 years out of date. Hopefully she comes back strong with her best album Has anyone heard her unreleased tracks? I recommend Booty Call, I Hate You (Don't Leave Me), and U Better Know.

I thought he falling out came about because Ke$ha actually DID want to go into a different direction, at least in parts, and both the label and Dr. Luke pressured here to stick with the established sound?

The rumor is she wanted, and wants, to be a rock star and hang with the Flaming Lips and Iggy Pop or whatever but Dr. Luke has her under a really draconian contract for a really long time.

She totally could, too. Gold Trans Am is such an awesome hair metal song, and Dirty Love is the best Riot Grrl song of the new millennium (that I've heard, anyway). She's a good enough songwriter and performer that she could easily spend the rest of her career doing the same kind of Dr. Luke pop that she's been doing, but god she should be doing so much more, and clearly she recognizes that.

Seriously, those sketches she was featured in was quite funny and now I wish she was to be featured in more shows/movies. But is there any swedes/norwegians or scandinavians in general that has heard Veronica Maggio's newest album, Handan i fickan fast jag bryr meg? I don't think it was as catchy or "good" as Satan i gatan, but it was quite entertaining and I've been listening to a few songs repeatedly lately. For you non-scandinavian goons, I would actually recommend her album Satan i gatan because I think the music in general is quite good

Wildeyes posted:Someone please tell me what part of that ratface is in any way sexy I'd wager it's that sexy, sexy Auto-Tune screech. Anyway... In other news, it looks like Artpop has had a somewhat sluggish start. It sold about 260, 000 copies, which is good, but well below what Gaga shifted last time (Born This Way debuted with sales of 1, 000, 000; even if you factor in that about 400, 000 were sold for $0.99 as part of an Amazon one-day discount, that's still about three times what Artpop managed in its first week). I've seen this soft landing attributed to the failure of "Applause" to go straight to number one, but that hardly seems fair, because it's stayed in the Top 10 since it was released.
