The first time I heard Titanium it was at a bar doing karaoke and some girl was doing it off key and man I don't know a better way to ruin a pop song on the first listen.

How about Lights? I can't wait for her acoustic album. I saw her at a small venue in a suburban area and it was the est show of my life. A bunch of us waited outside her tour bus until 3 AM for her to come out and hang. The show was on 4/20 and I think her and her band mates were in the bus getting ripped beforehand. I've got her autographed Siberia LP on my wall!

I find both of her albums ridiculously fun but I feel like a lot of what makes me enjoy her music will be lost on an acoustic album.

I've said before that I couldn't believe how bad a Katy Perry single was. And, to note, I do like some of her singles. That said, holy poo poo I can't believe how bad that song is.

I expected this to be way worse. A lot of pop stars lip sync/use backing tracks when doing dance heavy performances. You can actually see that she's completely and rather awkwardly breaking her choreography so she has more breath. I don't think this is even a thing.

I am not a great fan of that song in general. But that's a really good performance.

Are sax solos the most "80s pop" thing of all? It's either sax solos or drums with gated reverb.

It's the sax and that's why "Run Away With Me" is universe-brain tier.

3. The way he denies Jepsen any kind of agency, and thinks this pattern in her songwriting must be some kind of accident, or a cry for help spurred by some deep emotional issues. As if she couldn't just be trying to maintain a consistent brand and continue to deliver to the taste of the audience that made her famous.

Everything else you said is fine but death of the author is a perfectly acceptable style of art criticism especially when its a work of multiple creators. I think you're mistaking that for the "cry for help" idea.

But it is offensively bad, yeah.

I saw her in early 2016 and it was a great show! The crowd was a most peculiar blend of the gays, pitchfork hipsters, and teeny boppers who still thought she was the Call Me Maybe girl.

Exact same demographics when I saw her. I got very drunk and danced all night and it owned.

It’s no EMOTION but nothing will be. This is still an amazing pop album that expands her pool of 80s inspirations out from pure bubble gum pop to Prince, Hall and Oates and a lot more. That makes it feel less cohesive but it still bops straight through. Emotion is an A+ but this is likely an A or A-

The girl has been saying she fucks from the word go.

She didn't just come here to dance (it's about loving)

I know, but it's way more explicit full album now. EMOTION really bridges the gap between her teen character Call Me Maybe days and this which is more straightforward in its maturity and I quite appreciate that. You can't be 30 singing like you're 16 forever.

Grimes more like Grifts. "Maximizing the function of her mitochondria" like she's fuckin Parasite Eve over here.

For those of you that have seen CRJ on this tour, does she have any openers? I'm trying to plan out my Saturday as tightly as possible since it's going to be 100 degrees in Philly.

this is easily the most Taylor Swift-y song she's shown us from this album so far. i'm not 100% sure i like it more than The Archer but i'm pretty sure that a year from now when i'm extracting the good stuff to add to my Taylor Swift's Good Stuff playlist, this will be there.

edit: this song is gonna be played at so many weddings over the next couple of years.

this will be the first dance for every normie who thinks they aren't a normie until the world is underwater

which is fitting cause like every first dance when you're a guest at a wedding it masquerades as being romantic while actually being boring as poo poo
