i heard kim petras's latest "heart to break" and it's really good, i think the best i've heard from her so far
― dyl, Sunday, 2 September 2018 15:41 (five years ago) link
Faded, Heart to Break, and Can't Do Better are all fantastic but her latest, All The Time, is pretty weak
― ufo, Sunday, 2 September 2018 16:58 (five years ago) link
oh i didn't realize she had put out anything after "heart to break"
― dyl, Sunday, 2 September 2018 17:33 (five years ago) link
has she denounced or stopped working with dr luke yet

the song caught me in the wild and i had to know what it was, hear it again. it's unfortunate.

h/t maura for that one
jason derulo's new single sounds like leftover black eyed peas-type trollwave from 2010/2011
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-mZwL4Bh6E
("time to say goodbye" is a legit lovely tune tho. personally i especially enjoy the chris botti orchestral version lol)

oh my god wait are you fucking serious don't tell me it samples t hat

this song is trollwave in that it exists to troll me specifically

The vibe is similar to “Your Song,” but it’s not as good IMO.

Rolling most 2018 sound:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixkoVwKQaJg
DJ Snake feat. Selena Gomez, Ozuna & Cardi B • Taki Taki
(Don’t know where Snake got this beat from, but kudos, it’s a great track)
― breastcrawl, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 19:29 (five years ago) link
think I'd enjoy it more without the Ozuna guy
― niels, Thursday, 11 October 2018 17:06 (five years ago) link
Really? What is it you don’t like about him?
― breastcrawl, Thursday, 11 October 2018 17:43 (five years ago) link
i like ozuna. selena gomez is the weak link for me. song is just okay overall.
― dyl, Friday, 12 October 2018 06:17 (five years ago) link
xp I guess his voice comes across very... loud in the mix, slightly grating
maybe I'll grow to love it
Selena is probably the weakest here (although the Cardi verse surely isn't the best she's done) but I've a lot of sympathy for her and always like to see her have a hit single

shawn mendes track from upthread has been remixed by zedd, who repurposes the 'let's get lost tonight' bridge from the original into a buzzy instrumental hook. it got performed at an awards show and it's the only version i've heard on the radio so far. i'm not sure if i like it better or not? the tweaks are pretty slight.

idk if there's been any poppy discussion on these boards or even if this is the right thread for this, the best song i've ever heard
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 October 2018 18:28 (five years ago) link
this is getting some push from someplace and I'm sure someone could potentially complain about TEH ALGORITHMS but if TEH ALGORITHMS are swapping out faux-tropical whatever for Kylie/Gaga then they are good actually

xps ah bunch of my friends saw poppy the other night and i had to miss it :(
surprised there isnt a poppy thread tbf, deffo been discussed somewhere - probs big enuff for her own thread now
loving that chater tune too
― nxd, Friday, 26 October 2018 08:36 (five years ago) link
Miya Folick's album (Premonitions, out last week) is an impressive debut. I hear Fiona Apple in the way her voice flutters sometimes - but it's also a serviceable replacement (like the October album from earlier this year) for the 2018 Sky Ferreira record we're probably never going to get.

I'm not convinced by the album, but AURORA live was a joy to look at. Especially the first song (Churchyard).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2ANW6Kn_2o

groovypanda, i was just searching a thread to post the same video.never cared much about shawn mendes (besides 'nervous') but i'm really enjoying this new one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UToVr_vLnI8
did the 2019 thread never get made?
this is only really notable because the slowed down "better off alone" sample somehow ends up with an air france-esque vibe which is hilarious and incredible and i wish the rest of the track was anywhere near as good as those first few seconds when those dual realisations hit
