lol xp
I went with Your Type. Breaks my heart every time I listen to it. Other songs in close contention were Boy Problems (that second half of the chorus), LA Hallucinations (for black hole in golden cup line), Black Heart, and Favourite Colour. Ultimately, really hard to decide. There's not a dud in the bunch.

this is hard but went with When I Needed You
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 29 June 2016 13:14 (seven years ago) link
Really enjoyed the Song Exploder ep on that song.
― how's life, Wednesday, 29 June 2016 13:21 (seven years ago) link
This is a really tough choice. I am debating between RAWM, Gimme Love, Boy Problems, Let's Get Lost, Warm Blood and Favourite Colour.
Kinda surprised to see so much LA Hallucinations love. It's a decent little song, but it has always stuck out like a sore thumb to me. It just doesn't feel like the same woman singing the other songs lyrically to me. It sounds like a song that was written with Ke$ha in mind, or at least somebody more famous and whose schtick is more in line with debauchery.
― brontosaur, Wednesday, 29 June 2016 14:37 (seven years ago) link
wanted to go with Your Type or Boy Problems or Let's Get Lost, but damn if Run Away still doesn't get me the most jazzed.

title track
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 29 June 2016 22:41 (seven years ago) link
"Run Away With Me," which I'll almost certainly be counting among the 5 or so finest singles of the decade in a few years.

black heart all the way, love that song deeply
― intheblanks, Wednesday, 29 June 2016 23:13 (seven years ago) link
This is very tough. Probably going with the title track but could also be "Boy Problems" (among 4+ others)
― Spencer Chow, Thursday, 30 June 2016 00:06 (seven years ago) link
Feels pretty lame but "Run Away With Me" really is my favorite. Probably "Let's Get Lost" and "Favorite Colour" after that.
― justfanoe (Greg Fanoe), Thursday, 30 June 2016 02:59 (seven years ago) link
Run Away With Me gets my vote but every song here is essential.
― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 30 June 2016 03:01 (seven years ago) link
Let's Get Lost was my route into this, but Boy Problems has usurped it in recent months. Not that keen on the first few songs on this, but by that point it's straight sailing.

GREAT song, but the video is pretty annoying. The combing is excessive (we get it, it's supposed to be a handicap), and then all the weird product placement. Do they really need Mini, Freixenet and Lavazza to underwrite the cost of this?

Cut To The Feeling was just a standalone single for a film track. i presume you mean call me maybe?

good song, but a notch under the Emotion singles, imo. i'm hoping they're just getting her back in the public consciousness and the next one is the real banger.

I don’t really like this song, but thematically it’s a nice variant on her thing where she makes songs about being right at the beginning of some great transcendent experience, full of anticipation. This time it’s not some budding romance but a withering one and she’s excited to reconnect with herself? I mean I know it’s about lol masturbation but that’s my takeaway.
― crüt, Saturday, 3 November 2018 02:30 (five years ago) link
my favorite part of this song is the "i'm not over you"/"i'm not over this" backing vocal

Love her music, but Carly's videos are almost always terrible and this one is no exception. Like, even ignoring the egregious product placement, it just seems like it was conceived by a high school drama class.

but this... is itself a euphemism?
anyway, this song is like 90% of the way to being great and I think I've figured out what the 10% is -- there are some unfortunate things happening with the vocal production on the verses. most apparent on "some-BODy's in your way"
