I scrolled up and lolled again at “My family owns an airport there”

Not a hot tip I was expecting to drop, but Rebecca's new album Let Her Burn (great title) is really, really, fun. Feels like she and her people have listened intently to all of the moderately adventurous female-fronted pop music of the last few years, and then set out to pay tribute to as much of it as possible in (an admirably focused) thirty minutes. So while the lead single sounds like Midnights meets Ariana Grande other than a pseudo-industrial breakdown near the end, there is also a 2-step garage track, a track that gestures towards hyperpop, a lesbian love song that is basically a rewrite of The 1975's "Somebody Else", a song that sounds like The Strokes by way of Olivia Rodrigo, and a (charmingl) imagining of Poppy making drum and bass track appropriately titled "Destroy Me", which is worth linking:

I also enjoy Rebecca's switches between unvarnished talky and breathy high vocals, very familiar in this post Camilla Cabello world, but still very successful I think.

I forgot to mention there's a track that sounds like Phoebe Bridgers, because of there is.

lmao 'destroy me' has almost the same 'whoa!' sounds as Smack My Bitch Up :D (they're 'hey' here i think but same effect)

I think it’s actually a “Firestarter” reference? But yes absolutely, and that little trick feels like a meme I have heard across a bunch of recent tunes pop and otherwise.
(To cross-pollinate current threads, “Us Ephemeral” uses “Go!” in the same way)

to continue that cross-pollination, if big beat is truly coming back, that is one nostalgia i will not stand in the way of
