yeah I can hear the FR in Silent My Song too but obv also Pet Sounds. Touchstones aside, it's so massive! makes me wanna hear her + bjorn do an album of gospel hymns.

The Magician is the guy that left Aeroplane, he's great.

This is an impressive second record. I love the first, but I could see this one eclipsing it given time.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 7 March 2011 18:22 (thirteen years ago) link
There's nothing on here I love as much as Little Bit but on the whole I think this is a stronger record. It's fast becoming my album of the year so far.
― Kitchen Person, Monday, 7 March 2011 18:27 (thirteen years ago) link
^^^^ I pretty much agree 100% with this post.

honestly never knew it was pronounced 'licky lee' until i saw her on fallon last wk
― johnny crunch, Monday, 7 March 2011 20:14 (thirteen years ago) link
I sort of skipped her the first time around even though I liked "Little Bit," but this album is really good. Will be listening to this a lot, I think.

Really surprised how much I like this - 'Sadness Is A Blessing' is a fantastic song. Toning down the mimsiness and going widescreen and Spectoresque has really helped.

This album is great.
I'm not sure how you pronounce her name for sure, but I'm pretty convinved that the way Greg Kot keeps calling here Lick-e-uh Lee doesn't seem right at all.
― 'what are you, the Hymen Protection League of America?' (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Kot is wrong.
It's Lick-ee. Simple as that.
― That's why they call me (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:17 (thirteen years ago) link
Wouldn't be the first time. His over-pronunciation was driving me crazy!

What do you expect from a guy who pronounces "persona" as per-SAHN-uh.

check her interview with narduwar to hear her pronounce her own name

sometimes my boyfriend puts it on in the house on saturday mornings (i hope not this one) - just feels trite

i mean this in the least dickish way possible but i love everything about her except her music. i want to like it but it's just too gimmicky.

"sadness is a blessing" is the perfect example of how it is oft best to show, not tell

Apparently "Every song will be a power ballad."

Not sure which song you were referring to Katherine, but if it's the one linked on the PopJustice article I sadly have to agree. It does nothing for me at all.
― Kitchen Person, Tuesday, 4 March 2014 15:51 (ten years ago) link
Really like the song on popjustice.

wounded rhymes was one of my favorite albums that year but this is terrible, it's taking the worst parts of "I want to be a singer-songwriter, not a pop artist!" and "Greg Kurstin collaboration" and coming out tuneless and dreary and all ballads
