Selena Gomez is Good For You

"hands to myself" is amazing and incidentally sounds amazing on the radio

especially since it is often bookended by garbage so it feels like you've been suddenly vacuumed into this pocket of goodness

^that truly is the secret of radio success

haha yeah it's a big grower for sure

Selena really is our new Britney, Justin drama and all

This new Selena track takes the "Psycho Killer" and makes something really enjoyable out of it. I didn't think Selena would be the coolest Pop Star around, but maybe she is?

"Psycho Killer" bassline... sigh.

Unimpressed ...too acoustic for my liking. Also, it just made me want to listen to "Psycho Killer". Maybe they should have sampled the guitar as well?

selena gomez was secretly the coolest popstar around back when she was doing "naturally" and "love you like a love song" and has generally regressed since then

i have mixed thoughts on this, it has a good song but there are some real lyrical duds in there, i felt secondhand embarrassment at the battle of troy line. not bad tho!

it is at least unique enough to stand out when compared to the typical output of the top 40 sphere at the moment

this is def the kinda song where a strong music video could get me to like it but i don't think major labels are particularly invested in creating those these days

the battle of troy line is still a step up from "metaphorical Gin and Juice"

in general it seems like the kind of song that only gets better on multiple listens. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a "Work" level hit, but I don't expect it to happen

yeah definitely

"work" wasn't instant for me either!

I love it. It's fresh.

perfect summer mornings track. it works for me.

yeah battle of troy line is lol but I really like the song, her delivery is great

this is great. it's so nice to hear a new pop song with this sort of light touch. a little space, a little simplicity! thank you!

I really like the song...and her performance too.#selenagomez #BadLiar #psychokiller

yeah it's nice and will probably grow with more plays but I don't think it has a smash hit potential.
Somehow, it reminds me of Britney's "Piece of me".
and, yeah, her delivery is great.

sounds like... peaches. i love it.

lol apt comparison!

I have never heard that Maria Mena song before. That's great.
*Wonders if ILX has talked about it here before*

Is Maria Mena's "You're The Only One" the new Worst Thing Evah?

Oh.

maria mena's newer stuff is also good

also this song rules, it's the best carly rae jepsen song carly rae jepsen isn't going to release anymore

am i evil for wanting to hear a big boshy remix? :)

i love this song

same

same

same

Love it as well. Not hearing how this sounds like CRJ at all tho.

Or do you mean something off her debut? I haven't heard that one.

less in sound than in lyrics

in sound it kinda makes me think of a deroboticized version of something bloodshy & avant would've done with britney

This came on the station my 11-year-old listens to which is otherwise 100% Hailee Steinfeld "Starving" + soundalikes and it really really really stood out (in a good way)

ugh i love that David Byrne tweet

he tweeted it on my birthday!

The Bad Liar video is so goofy.

i still have to see it but i got that sense. wait what is this new song she is teasing? Fetish?

oh it's out! lol

not surprisingly... i like it a lot <3

on first listen it sounds alright but a bit generic.

I went back to "good for you" which I hadn't heard in a while. still so... good (but too bad the video version isn't available on spotify).

i just did too last night! STILL that good

I still don't get that song at all or her generally but "Bad Liar" really is a jam

i have to tell you that her last spread in Vogue was gorgeous
