This record feels like it was made for choreographed group dances at the discotheque which is a bittersweet feeling during this time

the very beginning reminded me of Honk Honk Beep Beep by Badazz:

Kind of reminded me of Tom Tom Club when it came on
my immediate association was esg

mixed with like... "meeting in the ladies room"

this one sounds a bit like little dragon but better than that implies

I'll devote Thursday night to Averna negronis + dancing to Jessie Ware's last two jams

The floor is super high on this album for sure, but Save A Kiss is my least favorite of the three. *shrug*

wow @ the jessie ware and haim albums both coming out on my birthday

happy early birthday! I just discovered I'm getting a Trump-Biden debate on my birthday, fml

Well, this album certainly delivers.
My favourite thing about it after one listen is how it ends with song that would fit on Minnie Riperton's Come To My Garden.

this really is going to be the best album <3 <3

is this the morgan geist one? kinda sounds like it. chintzy boogie vibe

yeah he co-wrote & produced it

album rules, unsurprisingly

wow "soul control" is funky
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 June 2020 13:26 (three years ago) link
all of this was fabulous but jaw hit the floor the most probably on the last song
― monotony, Friday, 26 June 2020 02:29 (three years ago) link
weird how "adore you" felt so monumental when it came out last year and yet amongst all this it feels slight and subtle. still such an incredible song!
also shout out to the title track
glad I mostly steered clear of the singles, this is massive

I like that this week has brought us multiple albums seemingly designed in a lab to please each and every single ILMer between them

I haven't responded this well to a record in this vein since...the second Natalie Prass album, I wanna say?
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 26 June 2020 02:56 (three years ago) link
this is a very different beast (much more upbeat for starters) but the combo of new and 'retro" sounds/signifiers brought it to mind
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 26 June 2020 03:02 (three years ago) link
The album mix of "Spotlight" mutes that weird synth (?) noise I loved in the single edit
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Friday, 26 June 2020 03:12 (three years ago) link
Sorry I should probably know what that sound is as an ilxor whatever who cares
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Friday, 26 June 2020 03:13 (three years ago) link
yeah, my only qualms with this are that she dialed down spotlight slightly on the album version and also that overtime should've been included
― monotony, Friday, 26 June 2020 03:17 (three years ago) link
Omg the synth bips were what MADE spotlight
― vision joanna newsom (Stevie D(eux)), Friday, 26 June 2020 03:41 (three years ago) link
As much as I love "Overtime", its exclusion makes sense considering the sound of the rest of the album
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Friday, 26 June 2020 03:53 (three years ago) link
Yeah, I also thought those little synth hiccups had been quietened on the album version for some reason. I thought it might have just been the vinyl.
This should be a massive record for her. Why haven't all these singles been huge?
― kitchen person, Friday, 26 June 2020 04:32 (three years ago) link
Too retro and/or lack of label push imo
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 26 June 2020 04:47 (three years ago) link
This is ILM bait not chart bait
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Friday, 26 June 2020 04:49 (three years ago) link
I guess with something like Dua Lipa's Don't Start Now becoming such a huge worldwide hit, it wouldn't have been that weird if some of these single could have at least cracked the top 100 somewhere.
― kitchen person, Friday, 26 June 2020 04:56 (three years ago) link
The extended intro of the album mix of “Save A Kiss” doesn’t really introduce elements that we didn’t hear in the single version but it still makes the song so much better. The value of an intro, y’all
