The Ronika album feels steamy damp hot summer dusky time of evening to me...what's the word for that?

Xpost: the album is vinyl and digital only; the only CDs are promos.

This has weirdly ended up being my most-played album of the year by a long way. It's just so effortless and enjoyable and you can play it to anyone and they get it.

This is a cut above most of this kind of retro-80s synthpop and it mostly comes down to the exuberance in Ronika's voice and the quality of the tunes. Usually you listen to these synthy Popjustice/shambala and you can almost see the deadness in their eyes as they go through the motions, but this has a real bounce to it, so while it's derivative as hell it rarely feels generic. Tails off about 2/3 of the way through though.

somehow it feels to me like a record by a grown-ass woman instead of whatever developmentally arrested indie childes who make the retro synthpop i usually check for

So it's not on CD but is this available to buy as FLAC or WAV somewhere?
― Supposed Former ILM Lurker (WeWantMiles), Friday, 12 December 2014 12:35 (nine years ago) link
Sorry, found WAV link on Recordshop site. Anyone know if the free download with the vinyl gives you choice of MP3 or WAV?
― Supposed Former ILM Lurker (WeWantMiles), Friday, 12 December 2014 12:38 (nine years ago) link
You can get it on a CD now.

Great tune.
(Ve)Ronika must be an inspiration to (Reb)Ekkah from Birmingham. Last Chance to Dance, Small Talk, What's Up (with DâM-FunK)

New album in Janurary. New single today.

Great news. Selectadisc is one of my favourite albums of the decade so far.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 20 October 2016 15:04 (seven years ago) link
New song Dissolve

That is gorgeous.

This new album is so good. It's very Mariah Carey, especially the second song.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 16 January 2017 18:34 (seven years ago) link
I am freaking out about this album right now. It's incredible.
― Kitchen Person, Tuesday, 17 January 2017 20:23 (seven years ago) link
I hope so, the Mariah Carey comparison admittedly put me off (I'm not fond of melismatic vocal masturbation). I'm more into delving into the freestyle/synth-funk with just slightly updated sonics.

I think my favourite song on the new one is a bonus track ("Better Than Ever")
― monotony, Sunday, 22 January 2017 23:22 (seven years ago) link
I'm having a hard time getting past Dissolve as my favourite. The chorus is so beautiful it could be a KING song. Superfine and Never My Love are two of my other favourites. The whole album is a massive step-up from Selectadisc for me.

This video is so ridiculous but I can't stop watching it.

Really love the new single, especially the drums.
Feel like her second album was really slept on. I still go back to it a lot.
