That's been a thing forever - Hey Jude and Love Will Tear Us Apart are some of their bands biggest tracks, for example. Check out this whole list of bangers. It's cool when people are able to put out stuff that doesn't fit into the larger project the artist (or their label) are working towards, rather than let it go to waste.

Dropping random singles makes more sense now than it ever has, really. It's not like they actually drive album sales anymore, so whether or not it belongs to an album is pretty much arbitrary. What I really miss is when the single would be mixed differently than its album version. Still happens occasionally, but usually if they're intentionally doing an album rollout, they'll just drop tracks directly from the album without even changing an outro transition or anything. (The worst of both worlds is when they create a whole new "EP" of whatever songs they've released so far every time a single comes out. So by the time the album is out there are like 5 identical copies of the first single.) Sir Lemming fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Apr 29, 2024 |

pop music thread! this song Blessed Madonna dropped in her Coachella set bugged me since I heard it on the livestream, and now someone's finally clipped it so I can start asking about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsongisthis/comments/1ce2dyf/blessed_madonna_coachella_set_track_id/ this is absolutely an unreleased song, but I dunno who's singing it. my first assumption is Dua Lipa because Blessed Madonna has worked with her and she has an album out soon, but I could also be it being one of a lot of other singers with British accents? i'm looking forward to this whenever/if ever it drops, at least. there's not much more to it than what's in this clip but it's a good-rear end hook

This was actually more common in the UK for a long time. In the US, it didn’t happen as often, but it did occasionally. Part of it was that it was that there was a stronger singles market in the UK than in the states. In the 60s, you saw this a lot. Artists would appeal to the singles market by putting out songs only as a single. They still pulled singles from albums, but I think they mainly did it before the album was released. Over time, it shifted, but non album singles were quite common until the 2000s it seems. Some bands and scenes were more likely to do it than others. So the Smiths did a lot of that, but Duran Duran had far fewer. In the US, it was common in the 60s. The way it worked is that a band would release a single, and if it was big, it got included on the next LP, and if not, it got skipped. Look at I Get Around and The Little Girl I Once Knew. Both released outside of the album cycle, which is why they were mono only. IGA was a big hit, and got on their next LP, LGIOK wasn’t. Although to be fair, the next LP was Pet Sounds, but that Capital wasn’t putting pressure on the band to include it speaks volumes. Now, it feels like we’re going back to the US model. If a song is a success, it gets thrown onto the album.

My main example of this is the Bloc Party song Flux, it came out as a single and was on the US version of A Weekend in the City (ruining the flow and tone of the album in the process) but wasn't on the UK version.

New Caroline Polachek song which appears to be for a movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmdKkUfpRew Pretty different, sort of a blown-out 90s guitar vibe.

I'm a big Dula Peep fan and I have to admit this album is really boring on a first listen. Not as boring as the Miley Cyrus LP, but shockingly close. Future Nostalgia had hooks for days, what happened here.

If you've got an AMC Theater near you, they're doing listening parties for Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard And Soft next Thursday the 16th. I got a ticket for one at my local AMC Dolby theater. The album comes out the next day.

Giving the Dua Lipa album another chance and... I'm mystified by how "Falling Forever" just doesn't work. It totally should. The time is right for nostalgic reappraisal of Cher's "Believe" which this is obviously indebted to. The melody is solid, the structure makes sense... But it just sounds so lame, somehow. I have to blame this one on production, despite the talent involved. It's just a swing and a miss. This song should work! edit: what the hell were they thinking with that MIDI flute on "Maria" edit: Yeah the 2nd listen just confirms what I already thought sadly. The singles are great, the rest just doesn't make it. Sir Lemming fucked around with this message at 15:28 on May 8, 2024 |

That's the general vibe I'm getting. It starts out strong with Houdini and Training Season, then just kind of doesn't go anywhere for the next 30 minutes. Like Dula got bored with the idea of making music halfway through and just kinda cranked this one out, except it's been four years since Future Nostalgia so you can't even really say that. Wouldn't be surprised if we later find out she scrapped a whole other album before releasing RO.

DC Murderverse posted:I regret to inform you that Meghan Trainor made something approaching a banger The core problem with Meghan Trainor is that she’s just not a very interesting person. Her music has become so generic. All About That Bass had personality. It was goofy. But her recent attempts at matching that all sound like they’re trying too hard. This song is so simple. The lyrics are uninteresting, she does very little with the theme, the chorus feels like a “how do you do fellow kids” reference to a meme, but it’s not particularly interesting. She put something out in the shape of a song, but everything feels generic. None of this screams Meghan Trainor, but rather a song from PopBot 3000 that you could sell to Jojo Siwa.
