it kind of reminds me a little of the inferior and utterly obscure 80s track called “Wild Girls” by Rori, but to be honest that’s just indicative of a whole swathe of shimmery dancefloor oriented pop from the time. i love the space she allows for the track between lines, i love the fuckin HARMONIES.

more than a bit of Madonna’s “Open Your Heart” added to this stew too i reckon

please me please me
we can make it mutual
the chorus harmonies and the minor key rhythm guitar remind me of .. talking heads

Haven't heard to the new song yet but I did finally listen to the album after enjoying the 3 tracks from the top 77. man, the album is something else, remarkable consistency. Think I'll wait for the platinum version and plunk down some cash
― Vinnie, Wednesday, 5 May 2021 15:27 (two years ago) link
Perhaps a dull observation but that's some extremely Prince guitar that starts showing up in the chorus. I don't want to be reductive because the whole thing works as its own thing - but it is very much a late-80s love letter. George Michael would have loved it!

oh i don't know just spitballing. it also reminds me of talking heads. they did that minor key blues rhythm guitar lick all over the early stuff.
the 'ooo ooooo aye-ya-yaye" bit is very "all night long (all night)"
i love this thing that she's on where it's all about the little bits of fliration that happen before any physical contact. classy and romantic but still great fun.
― John Cooper of Christian rock band Skillet (map), Wednesday, 5 May 2021 16:03 (two years ago) link
come to think of it, the harmonies in the chorus (which are what MAKE the track imo) also sound a little bit like remain-in-light era talking heads, but like joyful rather than aggressive and cocaine-y.

the video seems like it's in conversation with roisin's 'plaything' video (which is superior imo but i mean it's hard to top)

yeah wow, ridiculous that her outtakes are this good, why wasn't it just straight up a double album lol
― ufo, Friday, 4 June 2021 00:06 (two years ago) link
yes, both these tracks are as good as most anything on the album

oh my god "pale blue light"
all these songs are so good, she really should have released it as a double album straight up lol
― ufo, Friday, 11 June 2021 04:37 (two years ago) link
wish there was just one more track released from these sessions so i could sequence a perfectly symmetrical double album
― ufo, Friday, 11 June 2021 08:03 (two years ago) link
I don’t know, I listened to this today and apart from the two pre-released songs and “Overtime” I was like “these are fun but I get why they were cut from the album.” I mean it’s all great but I think a much longer album would have been exhausting. I think she has broadly made the right call here.
― Tim F, Friday, 11 June 2021 08:46 (two years ago) link
well yeah, it would have been exhausting as any 90 minute album would be exhausting but still, they're all as good as the songs on the actual album
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Friday, 11 June 2021 11:12 (two years ago) link
the material here is so good that i think she could have gotten away with it is the thing
― ufo, Friday, 11 June 2021 11:20 (two years ago) link
The songs are all good enough to be a standalone mini-lp/ep instead of the bonus material on a deluxe reissue, but $$$
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 11 June 2021 13:28 (two years ago) link
Loooving "Hot and Heavy", what a vibe. Could have easily seen this as a double album, the quality of these eight tracks is high
― Vinnie, Saturday, 19 June 2021 00:13 (two years ago) link
highlight of the bonus tracks might be "0208" for me, yet again I'm perplexed by ILX's indifference to Kindness
― self-clowning oven (Murgatroid), Saturday, 19 June 2021 01:45 (two years ago) link
The Kindness debut album is perhaps one of my favorite albums of the 2010’s and much of it is how it sounds. I’m not sure if it’s because Erol Alkan was involved or what happened afterwards that I haven’t been as attracted to his music ever since. Maybe I just changed. I still play the debut often, though.
ILM likes him iirc?

i've never really listened to kindness's solo work but i probably should considering how consistently strong he is as a collaborator
― ufo, Sunday, 20 June 2021 12:43 (two years ago) link
just want to mention that Kindness uses they/them
