I've only listened to a few tracks and have no particular thoughts yet but I've noticed I really like her speaking voice.I didn't know or cared much about her before "good for you" so I had never heard her talk.She has a great low register voice when she speaks (which makes a big contrast with her looks).I'm not sure she's a good singer but there are moments when her voice is great.

Heard part of the album while getting coffee this morning. Not bad.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 11 October 2015 18:23 (ten years ago)
"Me and the Rhythm" is good. "Same Old Love" is garbage.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 11 October 2015 18:40 (ten years ago)
wow title track is lovely, her voice sounds incredible
― surm, Sunday, 11 October 2015 21:06 (ten years ago)
loving the album, same old love included. hearing 'the dreaming' synths and more police revivalism
― surm, Sunday, 11 October 2015 21:15 (ten years ago)
me and the rhythm is a little taylor for me
― surm, Sunday, 11 October 2015 21:29 (ten years ago)
i'm also getting some (forgive me, but) Gloria Estefan vibes like on body heat
― surm, Sunday, 11 October 2015 21:40 (ten years ago)
Some nice tracks but I would have been much happier with only slow, intimate tracks like "good for you" instead of the big pop/rnb songs with big production and hooks. AlsoI don't really like her generic diva voice.For instance I find the second time she sings the word "revival" fantastic. More of that !

if anything, "me & the rhythm" reminds me most of CRJ's "warm blood"
― j. winters (josh), Monday, 12 October 2015 19:37 (ten years ago)
"hands to myself" is really great
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 13 October 2015 12:52 (ten years ago)
i mean i could but why would i want to <3
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 13 October 2015 12:54 (ten years ago)
definitely an album to cherrypick from though
um can we please talk about "hands to myself"
― j. winters (josh), Thursday, 10 December 2015 08:54 (ten years ago)
yes
― surm, Monday, 28 December 2015 00:29 (ten years ago)
kinda crazy

def voting for "hands to myself" in the tracks poll
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Saturday, 9 January 2016 01:59 (ten years ago)
yeah i think i might too even though i've only just heard it yesterday via the EOY spotify playlist. it's really great! love her vocals on it.
― Roz, Saturday, 9 January 2016 03:16 (ten years ago)
i'm surprised that there isn't more love for "same old love"
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Saturday, 9 January 2016 12:04 (ten years ago)
that song sucks
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Saturday, 9 January 2016 15:15 (ten years ago)
"same old love" is great
― bla.p, Saturday, 9 January 2016 17:04 (ten years ago)
alb is <3
― bla.p, Saturday, 9 January 2016 17:06 (ten years ago)
i actually like "same old love", much better than "good for you"
― dyl, Saturday, 9 January 2016 17:19 (ten years ago)
down with all 3

my gf heard this on the car radio and she goes, "who's this? she seems... damaged..."

aww yeah the women are opinionated about it, understandably so, and sometimes empathetic, it seems
― surm, Saturday, 9 January 2016 20:12 (ten years ago)
"hands to myself" reminds me of a robyn album track, in fact if robyn had released it i'm sure the music blog ppl would be freaking out
great radio single in any case
― dyl, Monday, 1 February 2016 16:30 (ten years ago)
yeah. i heard same old love at my hair place the other day, also sounded v good on radio

Me & The Rhythm > Good For You > Same Old Love > Hands To Myself
― daavid, Friday, 1 April 2016 19:16 (ten years ago)
...maybe
― daavid, Friday, 1 April 2016 19:17 (ten years ago)
no
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Friday, 1 April 2016 19:45 (ten years ago)
"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
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Friday, 1 April 2016 19:47 (ten years ago)
^that truly is the secret of radio success
― dc, Friday, 1 April 2016 19:47 (ten years ago)
haha yeah it's a big grower for sure

Selena really is our new Britney, Justin drama and all
― surm, Saturday, 9 April 2016 15:33 (ten years ago)
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?
― brontosaur, Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:51 (nine years ago)
"Psycho Killer" bassline... sigh.
― brontosaur, Thursday, 18 May 2017 18:14 (nine years ago)
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?
