This is bloody great isn't it. So many brilliant songs and really good sequencing too - love the way 'Accelerate' segues into 'Fade Away'

I'm happy people are digging Susanne's album, perhaps her best, although some earlier singles are unbeatable.
You had to be here to understand how instantly ubiquitous her music became when she debuted in 2007, with the most airplay of any artist that year. Of course that album was very different, more of a straightforward singer songwriter production with several v radio friendly tunes:

This is a quick, quarterly reminder that all available tracks mentioned on this thread (and a few album selections) are being posted as updated to a thread-specific Spotify playlist that I'm maintaining. I just did a quick sweep prior to posting this message and updated as of today with everything that's been added on Spotify since it was first mentioned.
That playlist is currently a bit more than an hour of music and is clickable below. Give it a spin and subscribe if you want to listen along through the year.

"love me like you do" or "outside"? I prefer the latter and think it's kinda silly that her calvin harris features keep competing with her solo singles on the charts, same thing happened with "burn" and "I need your love."

the track is Austrlian, so maybe many brits and americans are unaware yet

I heard this the other day because I have a George Maple alert on Spotify, but I'm listening to it again more intently right now. Very good!

I've been enjoying the Allie X "release", CollXion I. There's a clumsy Sia-esque metaphor used on "Tumor" (and the melody bares strong similarities to "Unconditionally"), but otherwise it's pretty much all fire

surprised that as far as i can see there's been no mention of the moroder x britney "tom's diner" on ilx yet??? it's amazing and perfect

ilm favorites fall out boy have ruined "tom's diner" forever for me with their heinous song
― dyl, Thursday, 30 April 2015 14:55 (nine years ago) link
apparently it has been discussed somewhat on the giorgio moroder thread
― dyl, Thursday, 30 April 2015 14:59 (nine years ago) link
they've covered it???? ewwwww i never want to hear it
― lex pretend, Thursday, 30 April 2015 14:59 (nine years ago) link
they inexplicably interpolated it in their last hit song ("centuries")
― dyl, Thursday, 30 April 2015 15:01 (nine years ago) link
reason #9349392931 never to listen to fall out boy i guess. i adore almost every interpolation of "tom's diner" i've heard, trust them to be the ones to get it wrong

it's a great idea executed too straightforwardly to be interesting
liked the kylie song from the moroder record tho

I like "Centuries" quite a lot but i dig that Fall Out Boy's brand of emodramatics isn't for everyoneBritney's Tom's Diner was discussed in the Moroder thread brieflyi don't know what to make of it except that it 1) isn't terrible exactly2) is tremendously unnecessary

I love the album from this duo of twin french-cuban singers who mainly sing in Yoruba. Art-pop, a tad too much chamber-piano but there some complimenting cuban percussions and a r&b vibe. Great stuff.

Attention !
the best uptempo electro-pop album of the year has arrived and it's an addictive aural treasure trove - mixture of male and various female vocals, you must listen. the male vocalist Michael Pope has been compared to Devo.
released in ireland in April, Le Galaxie – Le Club has finally been added to Spotify UK
album link:
Spotify - Le Galaxie – Le Clubhttps://open.spotify.com/album/03mgdRgdVlE8gTjBuods7G
blogger, Nialler 9 has a superb review
Album of the week: Le Galaxie – Le Clubhttp://nialler9.com/album-of-the-week-le-galaxie-le-club/
The music is still aesthetically ’80s-referencing neon-electro, but with more peaks and troughs (aided by clear cut physically-felt mixing by sometime DFA/LCD engineer Eric Brouchek). ......
Even when the music does overtly sound like an alternative soundtrack to Back To The Future, French electro or the night-time street theatre of Drive, it is always fun, transportive and designed to make you move. And, this time around there’s an increasing sense of occasion.
Le Club is a rare thing, an album of joyous bangers that works in any environment, le club, the festival and your headphones.
another review:
Le Galaxie – Le Clubhttp://thelastmixedtape.com/2015/04/28/le-galaxie-le-club/
Le Club is an album about excess. The length, the production, the sound, the stylization, the atmosphere of the record is extravagantly bold. Beats, synth lines and vocals are thrust into a dominating foreground that insists itself upon the listener from beginning to end. The entire record buzzes with excitement, rarely pausing for breath.......
Brilliantly bold and true to its convictions Le Club is an album of pure kinetic energy. The album conveys abandon, limitless creativity and invention all held together by Le Galaxie’s daring ambition. It’s not perfect, at times it is down right messy, but as with all excess that seems to be the point.
the album has 14 tracks, i have selected 5 tracks to be added to the thread spotify playlist:
Le Galaxie - Put the Chain Onhttps://open.spotify.com/track/2YNC4jczfVTnf3w3yJmkoX
Le Galaxie - Streethearthttps://open.spotify.com/track/4zfi2Yct0dVqPkGSIqFouH
Le Galaxie - Le Clubhttps://open.spotify.com/track/5xvvvdXqK4lwY74bSDnye9
Le Galaxie - Tell me Twicehttps://open.spotify.com/track/6XF5CnrxzQWRnMGW8i8mPSprobably my fav track on the album, a hi energy electro banger with strong female vocals, from Senita Appiakorang
Le Galaxie - A.M L.Ahttps://open.spotify.com/track/2KyhLmFDHRTjpJ2JJ1BV6l
