the album continues to be slept on :(

As is most great 2008 music on ILM and LJ Poptimists; you should know that by now, Lex. If I weren't so busy with other things I'd do DK on my blog.

In many ways, this is the group that keeps on giving.

u know what i am listening to more and more Danity Kane lately

I've never heard this band, but their name strikes me as something Pootie Tang would say.

"Damaged" is good. Everything else I've heard by them makes me want to die.

i love Damaged! and Showstopper is so beautiful

i fake it so real, i am beyonce (surm), Wednesday, 19 May 2010 21:04 (thirteen years ago) link

"Beautiful" doesn't come to mind when I think of "Showstopper".

I am generally more thinking "stilted", "unfun", "my god this goes on for about 800 years", "so basically there is no God, as a benevolent Father wouldn't allow this to hurt so much", etc

I've only heard 'Damaged', while driving a rental car, but I loved the shit out of it.

dan otm re showstopper

some dude, Wednesday, 19 May 2010 21:15 (thirteen years ago) link

people who call songs like that beautiful or w/e really make me wonder if they have ears that work completely differently from mine on some fundamental molecular level

some dude, Wednesday, 19 May 2010 21:16 (thirteen years ago) link

i feel like it is such a stunning composition, definitely one of my favorite moments of the last number of years

we in the caaaaaar
we ride slow
we doin things that the girls don't dooooooooo
the boys stare, we smile back
all my girls in the rainbow cadillacs, YEAH!

We're not getting the album :'(
Shannon & Aubrey on the split

I'm not suprised after the fight earlier on in the week.
We got even less from them than MKS :( I say bring on Blackheart!

During a recent group meeting, a business conversation took a turn for the worst when my group member punched me in the back of my head while I was speaking to another associate.

Better bands than you have bad better fight ON STAGE and stayed together, missy.

ffs

prolego, Friday, 8 August 2014 18:02 (nine years ago) link

thank god no one would be willing to get into a fight with mutya for mks to fall apart in a similar way

heaven needed a girl group

Was really counting on @Danitykane to make it so I could collect my "Goldenheart" check. Dammit.

prolego, Friday, 8 August 2014 21:30 (nine years ago) link

Team Dawn no matter what. I bet she deserved that punch.

longneck, Friday, 8 August 2014 23:06 (nine years ago) link

messssss. sadder about the dawn/druski falling out though.

roll on blackheart! love "lemonade" but never liked the idea of a DK reunion putting dawn's solo career on hold

(if the MKS reunion only gave us "lay down in swimming pools" and the DK reunion only gave us "lemonade" that's still better than many acts give us in entire careers)

lex pretend, Saturday, 9 August 2014 06:03 (nine years ago) link

Very sloppy end to this project - the comeback only having 3 members meant it always felt a little off to begin with.

This may sound naive but Dawn has always come across in interviews &c as a very rational and intelligent person, so I feel puzzled and also saddened by the news that she's made some enemies. Feel like we mightn't be getting the full story here.

uxorious gazumping (monotony), Saturday, 9 August 2014 15:56 (nine years ago) link

There was an MKS tweet about them being in the studio last week. Then again, things have been coming soon for about a year. Feel like they should either go petulant à la Azealia Banks or just quit now rather than leave fans hanging and thirsty forever.

uxorious gazumping (monotony), Saturday, 9 August 2014 15:57 (nine years ago) link

i think dawn is probably just a control freak who likes to micromanage everything. tbf she is almost entirely the creative force of the group. the other two could have been meeting to bash out music ideas together for whatever reason (this seems to be story that is out there) and clearly dawn took things the wrong way.

the best policy i've learnt from experience w/ girl groups, especially reformed ones, is just to never get too invested. if good music comes out that's great, but things almost invariably end up going tits up. it's too miserable a situation to stan for dk or mks knowing their albums were both finished but will probably never be released.

prolego, Saturday, 9 August 2014 16:57 (nine years ago) link

it's weird seeing anyone stan for DK, unlike MKS i never felt they had a really distinct or necessary sound or unfinished business (and unlike solo dawn). and i loved welcome to the dollhouse! the quality of "lemonade" was a real surprise.

anyway one thing i've learned this week: d. woods, the DK member who wasn't even invited to the reunion, is...the younger sister of SHANELL!!!!!

The live version of Rhythm of Love had more oomph.

Greer, Wednesday, 22 October 2014 15:04 (nine years ago) link

Some great stuff on this album, especially Roultte, Secret Lover, and Tell Me.

Greer, Monday, 27 October 2014 04:18 (nine years ago) link

it's pretty great

heavy on the irony with all the boss bitch anthems given how it ended but weirdly that doesn't actually lessen their impact

lex pretend, Monday, 27 October 2014 15:47 (nine years ago) link

"all in a day's work" is such a jam

it's also really nicely varied and - again the irony - sounds a lot more confident than it had any right to. half expected it all to be desperate trend-chasing but that's not the case

lex pretend, Monday, 27 October 2014 15:49 (nine years ago) link

one month passes...

this album never did get its due

"lemonade" through to the heavily ironic "2 sides" is fire, in quite an odd way sometimes ("we rage at the party like maniacs" is an image that keeps being on my mind). it soooort of loses its way in the second half, which doesn't always sound finished ("roulette" is the biggest waste bc it sounds like there are the seeds of something potentially special, in a "style" kinda 80s teen romance way, and the jodeci reference is excellent, but overall the song feels a bit...bogged down), and then "bye baby" is a sort of unjustified victory lap that still works

but aside from that there are some pretty interesting choices overall - "tell me" segueing into "2 sides" really works

lex pretend, Tuesday, 9 December 2014 14:02 (nine years ago) link

seven months pass...

aubrey and shannon are a duo now and the single they released is improbably good: http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6649118/dumblonde-dreamsicle-video-premiere-danity-kane
