rolling pop 2011

i don't know who vein is but this vein ft. pitbull song from a few years ago was great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO9Tz5OpCng

the whole pitbull career arc is the weirdest thing. it's kinda tough to explain how he used to be really good.

i do like "give me everything" though, trust ne-yo to articulate the sense of mortality at the heart of the up-in-the-club aesthetic (one for the memento mori thread?)

also re: cher lloyd, i actually started a separate thread yesterday. i actually think "swagger jagger" is fun but the other songs i've heard are much better and less gimmicky

whole wynter gordon album's pretty enjoyable actually

this kinda insistently pure dance pop is not usually my thing i guess (certainly least not in full-length terms) but i find she's got character

if by character i mean performance chops, latent r&b songwriter craft and a voice similar to gwen stefani's

cher lloyd was fun for 5 minutes i suppose but having her back 6 months later with this cobblers is just a bad dream

think she might be surprised by how little enthusiasm her general project is met with beyond the weirdo diehards

it'd be nice if it was all just messier and more british

make her sing over forward riddim or something

jojo O_O

"fuck the new girl that's been in your bed / and when you're in her, i know i'm in your head"

she was singing about doing the dutty wine back in 07 i guess

could've chosen a better softsynth preset for that track

well, the beat's from a drake song

wowwwwwww

so much better than the original, which sounds v whiny to me.

JoJo's buzz single btw:

one of my best friends is an honourary homosexual and I've found her adoration of tunes like "no angel" and "happiness" pretty infectious.

Post "the only girl in the world" I feel like there is actually a market for well-made songs in this vein.

Actually pretty sure australia is that market.

I kind of like this new Selena Gomez song. "and I keep it in repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat"

Oh wow "Swagger Jagger" is kinda awful.

xp "and i keep hitting repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat" lol

What do we think of this?

nope

nope? It crossed the rubicon of bad back into good for me.

Oh shit, I just realized what it reminds me of! The music from the SNL sketches where everyone has to dance as they come onstage for the Fred Armisen talk show.

yeah that wasn't as bad as I was expecting from the title/screencap

I repeat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat'd "Love You Like A Love Song" 63 times last weekend. I think I have it out of my system now, but yeah, it's way catchy.

I'm listening to it right this moment. Really love it now.

You stand alone... to every record I ownnn <3

i'm not sure which "l.o.v.e." chorus this year i find more annoying

glad to hear i shouldn't have to worry about reapplying for my certificate.

it's interesting though, i've long mused that 'happiness' might be seen as a potentially something of a groundbreaking record but probably one of the main distinguishing factors in that assertion is that for an ultra-evolved streamlined american eurodance pop r&b hybrid it doesn't code as particularly homo, like there's no routinizing emancipatory release there. then again perhaps this is an overly basic way of looking at it, idk.

My problem with "Happiness" as that Alexis Jordan strikes me as a bit of a charisma vacuum

your problem was the world's solution tho! edgeless arcs of pure gliding ordinary

wish i could go back in time to 2003 and ask sean paul if i gave him a million bucks would he meet me in 8 years with a stupid huge fucking mohawk on his head and go badungbungbungbadungbudungbungbung on my bullshit pina colada novelty record

after listening to "Shake Senora" a few times (argh it's on the album TWICE) i've come to the conclusion that they picked the wrong token dancehall guy -- only Elephant Man can pull off an interpolation that goofy

dunno why i get so radge when i stay up til 5... i now hereby give this song the morbidly amused thumbs up

what was the other beetlejuice song btw

"Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)," as sampled in "6 Foot 7 Foot" and interpolated in "Don't Wanna Go Home"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXYDqPzHNJI

impeccable timing and will be rewarded for it

now's probably acceptable for j0rdan to drop the rip-off bomb btw

though on occasions like this u just gotta enjoy big business machinations done right imo

this is dope

though, yes, it does sound like what's my name/right there/lose control/lay it on me

and alexis jordan sounds exactly like keri hilson

i know right

basically listening to this tune just makes me think of the exec responsible who came in to work, sat down, gave the charts a moment's thought, made the call and then high fived his secretary on his way out back to the ferrari at 9:05am

is she in porn?

alexis j0rdan

lol, all the youtube comments say that ryan tedder wrote it.

love the selena gomez single

also weirdly enjoying the pitbull album o_0

(not "shake senora" which is getting such a side-eye from me right now)

This Sean Paul/Alexis J0rdan tune is really good! Actually the perfect midway point between their sounds!

Love here also for the Selena Gomez single, can't wait for the video.

x-post
That formula is more enjoyable than the LMFAO Party Rock Anthem one

Which Selena Gomez single are we talking about? Because Love You Like A Love Song already has a video. Great song.

I ain't seen a video for LYLALS..found a behind the scenes dated mid June but hadn't seen the actual vid yet..

YT blocked in the workplace but double-thumbs up to ya

wow that is a tune. Love the nasty bass sound too. Gives it a bit of an ominous feeling.

Given my only knowledge of Skylar Grey was "Coming Home" I very much was not expecting this:

This is the most hilair thing I have ever seen:

Dude is intense!
