the fact that a lot of the songs don't reveal their charms immediately has been one of the album's biggest strengths for me, that it didn't sound its absolute best back in October

"Candles in the Sun" still the only meh song but an improvement on its earlier incarnation.

'how many drinks' def sounds like a natural fit for the radio, I don't expect him to continue keeping on blowing the lid off of the radio

somehow packaging all of these songs together enhanced them all greatly in a way i can't exactly explain - it's partly the sequencing but only partly. it's a bit like the electrik red situation - at least 4-5 of the songs on their album were floating around pre-release and everyone was just like "oh these are kinda decent", not "THIS WILL BE THE BEST THING EVER", but then suddenly hearing the album qua album made everything slot into place
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 2 January 2013 22:15 (eleven years ago) link
tbh I came into this album fully expecting it to be the best thing ever

I was already placing the collective Art Dealer Chic ep's as my #1 album if this album had been just okay.

"how many drinks?" has a slight feminist bent to it that is dope but I doubt many ppl would pick up on it on the radio
― dead cera (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 2 January 2013 23:07 (eleven years ago) link
drugs are okay i guess
to me this record feels more 'nice guys of okcupid' than it does 'feminist' but i don't know

mainly i think i just hate the mix though

How was the London show? I didn't realise he was playing Glasgow as well tonight, fingers crossed it isn't sold out
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 13 January 2013 15:50 (eleven years ago) link
it was pretty great, sound could've been better though - vocals not loud enough! the "quickie"/"arch & point" encore was amazing.
― lex pretend, Sunday, 13 January 2013 18:41 (eleven years ago) link
He did Adorn like three different times, and it was nice to hear a crowd sing it all together, but not as nice as hearing his actual voice. It was very guitar-driven, even more than I was expecting based on an album full of guitars, but his band were pretty tight and fun. I did have to laugh though when, after singing about sex and drugs and taking his top off, he put his clothes back on and gave a speech about the horrors of genocide as an introduction to Candles In The Sun. Ultimate buzzkill.

"Do You..." is a wonderful song, but it sounds really out of place and unwelcome on rap radio
― Evan R, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 04:20 (eleven years ago) link
Its rap and r'n'b radio, and it sounds fine
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 18:42 (eleven years ago) link
it sounds mildly out of place and very welcome imo

who are the main contenders? ocean, yeah, but that's mostly the same voting bloc and miguel seems way more popular on ilm.
― lex pretend, Friday, 25 January 2013 14:49 (eleven years ago) link
there will be vote splitting between the album and the collected EPs

i kinda don't think Art Dealer Chic will siphon more than a couple votes away from KD? i dunno, seems like a small stubborn minority opinion.
