Love this
Light is coming has that plunderphonics vibe with the burbling whistle synth fx
Title track kills my vibe tho

Looks like the new tour won’t be happening in the near term:
According to her team, @ArianaGrande will be taking some time off given recent events: “She will be staying close to home and using this period to spend time with her loved ones and work on new music without deadline. She thanks her fans for their understanding.” 🖤 pic.twitter.com/TK8wkDHJRy— Ariana Grande Today (@ArianaToday) September 18, 2018

Yep.

Bought this on iTunes and it cut no tears from the album and put it as a separate single. Have to playlist it but album is growing on me
― Ross, Thursday, 20 September 2018 05:27 (five years ago) link
Light is coming reminds me of light works by dilla a lot
― Ross, Thursday, 20 September 2018 05:34 (five years ago) link
so much of this album reminds me of timberlake circa sexy back, but like diluted
dunno, it is pretty good but yeah i guess there is nothing new under the sun

It's like you're trying not to glow at all, Ross
― growing up in publix (morrisp), Tuesday, 25 September 2018 21:51 (five years ago) link
lol, honestly that is my favourite on the record
it has an interesting structure and many components that stick in my head vs. the usual verse chorus structure
also the beat rules.
― ritual showdown (Ross), Tuesday, 25 September 2018 21:52 (five years ago) link
Yeah I actually love it now

Word from Ari and her peeps is that she’s recording new stuff, and there may even be another album before end of year.

hmm, at this rate it won't be long before she won't be able to perform any of her Sweetener material due to painful associations
("Raindrops" should probably be cancelled next on the grounds that Frankie Valli is an asshole)

yeah, successful is the worst track on this album
― alpine static, Monday, 15 October 2018 19:52 (five years ago) link
only thing close is that sheesh backing vocal on sweetener, which is like aural brain rot

i tolerated it for 5-10 listens but now it's got to go
the town hall one, on the other hand, i've grown to like
― alpine static, Monday, 15 October 2018 20:25 (five years ago) link
feel the same
― Ross, Monday, 15 October 2018 20:58 (five years ago) link
I think the title track is strengthened by the bizarre ad-libs. They’re like an artistic “distancing technique” that subliminally focuses yr attention on the rest of the track, or some shit...(Also, “Successful” is excellent y’all!)
― brush ’em like crazy (morrisp), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 01:12 (five years ago) link
I know Pharrell mostly sounds like Pharrell; but those tracks also do something for me aesthetically that’s similar to Bitter Tea-era Fiery Furnaces (if that makes sense).

blazed reminds me of rock your boddy (which neptunes produced in tandem with timbaland) - though not as good obvs
― Ross, Tuesday, 16 October 2018 15:52 (five years ago) link
Rock Your Body was just The Neptunes

AH Shit i meant timberlake not land

Blazed is soooooo much better than Rock Your Body

he’s a stan he has no perspective
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 17:05 (five years ago) link
LOL -- fp'd Brad for anti-stannism!
Even putting the performers aside(...) -- "RYB" is a loping, lite disco-funk groove; "Blazed" is a hard, tight beat with acoustic bass stabs. Whatever floats yr boat...
― brush ’em like crazy (morrisp), Tuesday, 16 October 2018 17:18 (five years ago) link
when i’m a stan for anyone i have no perspective either

It's weird, I've honestly never been like this with an artist before.

i mean were all stans for some artist even when knowing that some material is shit (see tori amos for me) but like that missy elliott cameo on borderline is so pointless, what a non-starter
― Ross, Thursday, 18 October 2018 17:45 (five years ago) link
My (predictable) response: I love that rap, I think it’s great! :D

Where do you see that? The BBC site has an Ariana interview + performance for next Thursday.

Aw...yeah, silly Saturday papers telling me stuff for later in the week...
― Leaghaidh am brón an t-anam bochd (dowd), Saturday, 27 October 2018 18:55 (five years ago) link
Sorry about that. The paper did just say '8pm', in their recommended list, and I foolishly assumed it meant tonight.

The BBC's website is geo-blocked, but non-UK viewers can watch the special here (the performances are excellent): https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/11/video-ariana-grande-at-the-bbc-special/
