I can't seem to stop listening to "Girlfriend." The way the chorus comes in on the 2 just nails me to the wall. Especially the second half where she sings "flyyyyyyyyyyyy" with all those layered harmonies.
I might not need another song for the rest of the year.

perfect album to relisten to just when you think AOTY contenders are settled

It's good not great – I should have said year end lists.
This sounds nice, but also kinda not special in any way. ¯\(ツ)/¯

fuck that imo
new album shaping up to be great from the singles

oh this is out today too isn't it
incredibly stacked day
her first album was super underrated so looking forward to listening to this

this has less of the heavily processed funk & wonky beats that i loved from For All We Know unfortunately
it's still quite enjoyable with solid songwriting but it doesn't feel as distinctive or as interesting as her debut

this is true! less of that liquid synth thing a lot more traditional and self-serious ("orbit" being patient zero here)
it still largely bangs, just kinda wish more of it resembled "drive and disconnect"

i like when this gets kinda neo-soulish... "saturn" in particular, which reminds me of the KING album
relatedly i've been playing this a lot recently

initial reaction is that I need to knock off bothering with listening to so many pre-album singles ... like I've heard the best of this already, like the first two tracks. Those are completely massive

I think I will prefer Saturn to For All We Know. On first play, of the songs not previously shared I particularly enjoyed "Gabriel" and "A Life Like This".

something about her music keeps me at a bit of a distance but this is a good album. warm, inviting & compulsively playable.
aside from "drive & disconnect" and "if you ever" i think i like the ballads -- another lifetime, saturn and orbit -- the most

this record is absolutely fantastic, although i want it known that i hate the bit in "make it out alive" where she sings "colours change, blue grass like the lumineers"

the title track, "orbit", "drive & disconnect" all wonderful
― monotony, Saturday, 3 November 2018 12:14 (five years ago) link
Orbit is my fave.

no small thanks to Adekunle Gold, I’d say(and producer Sarz)

brb crossposting it on the Afropop thread
surprised to see that the (glorious) adekunle collab has over 12 million plays on spotify. anyway, her album is out today and i'm excited to check it.

album is very solid but i do kinda miss how cool & distinctive the beats were on her debut. having afrobeats in the mix on this one is very welcome though
― ufo, Saturday, 25 September 2021 00:41 (two years ago) link
i feel that. i think the songs on here are fairly strong overall tho, and the serpentwithoutfeet collab in particular really soars
