is the new album any good?

I think it's good, yes, but it's not a standout. There are plenty of other albums this year that I like more.

This post is borderline revolutionary but I need to see the list

Shut up

It's definitely a vibe record. I wouldn't personally call it boring but there isn't a wide palette. At least, not after just one listen.

i need to give it a proper listen, but i was surprised on how similar every song was

I listened to this one yesterday....what can i say...its a letdown for me. I imagine a few of this songs will grow on me maybe...Solar Power sounds better in this context but every song kinda feels and sounds the same to me.

I hope she ditches Jack for the next one.

Av club review is harsh but also has a point. I loved this moment

I listened to this twice (the second time to ensure that I was giving it a fair shot). I honestly can’t think of any circumstance where I’d feel the need or desire to ever listen to this again.

That stereotype’s been around and warranted since the 60s. Yeah

yeah, i kinda feel the same. Its not interesting thematically nor lyrically...it has some very embarrassing and even tone deaf moments...and musically, itrs fairly boring.

What a shame because she takes longs gaps and i was really exited about her doing new music.

i guess thats the only thing we will remember of this album.

Maybe she can re work a few of these songs live and they get better.

got to see her for the third time this last sunday and damn, best show i saw from her.

The crowd was absolutely insane, and she was super happy with it. She just doesnt stop singing and dancing and the whole thing was a blast, even with a pouring rain. It felt like a coke commercial.

I hope she release something soon and ditches the whole band thing, she feels more comfortable live with just a drums and keys setting even if the Solar Power songs sounded so much better live.
