"The Blow" is so incredible. I'm still working on getting into the rest of her discography, but with a lead single this brilliant, the album has to be good!

No - just look what happened to Lana, and then Charli. Are all her released singles written with MNEK?

I just want the bonus tracks.

It's stylized A*M*E, and she's a massively talented up-and-coming UK popstar.

I. LOVE. THIS. SONG.

Don't know if you have these, but some are on her old Bebo profiles: http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=4495353441 & http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=7580815614

Oh, I'd be fine with just the ones that are leaked/released! :3 I mean, if they're good, I am trustworthy, but I just want to start off my fanship with what I can get. So nice of you to offer. . .I'll gladly accept whatever you feel like sharing.

Might be, but I'm not sure...the data for the second sampler is significantly harder to interpret than the first.

I K R...I wonder how many people have it. I really want "Interior" and the "Lock You Up" demo in lossless!

Tell me about it. The whole sampler ordeal is a terrible, terrible scenario for any artist, especially one who hasn't even released their first album yet...I can't believe it didn't leak sooner, with those idiots over at "xcx-army" posting clips and all. :facepalm: This reminds me - would you be able to help me with your vast A*M*E collection? Here in the states, there are virtually no songs to be found, either released or unreleased.

very interesting. o_O Not saying it IS fake, but still...i'm surprised someone would do something like that.

Someone played both songs for you? Like, via Skype? And is "Heartbreak High" even a real title? Sounds fan-made. Like "Supernova (Get High)."

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - '10 X 10.'

Of course not! He's too quirky...and, I mean, he did bring it for the class to enjoy.

You should listen to some staples/fan-favorites first, and choose from their where to start exploring her substantial discography. :3 Try out 'Fidelity' or 'Better,' 'Hotel Song' and 'Summer in the City' to get a feel for Begin to Hope, and 'Eet,' 'Blue Lips,' and 'Dance Anthem of the 80s' to start off on Far. I would suggest 'Sailor Song,' 'Us,' and 'Chemo Limo' as starters for Soviet Kitsch. For her latest, I guess listen to the singles...it's pretty eclectic, but the best song is def. 'Jessica.' And then, if you wanna be a really big fan, check out the first two albums - 11:11 and Songs. I'd recommend 'Braille,' 'Love Affair,' 'Samson,' 'Prisoners,' 'Buildings,' and 'Sunshine.' If you need help with anything, just ask.

Today, one of my classmates brought a cookie cake into class to celebrate his birthday, and it had a bright blue bow on it. He insisted it was 'not edible,' but I tasted it, and I deduced that it seemed like it was a mix of something like fondant, corn syrup, and sugar. Just to spite his ignorance, I ate the whole thing, and it momentarily stained my lips and teeth bright blue! I immediately thought of "Blue Lips," and remembered the brilliant bridge, where she gives a mini-history of the Jewish people...just genius.

Yadi - 'The Blow'

That's a fascinating way to describe it. My faves from that mixtape are almost undoubtedly 'Moments In Love' or 'Dance For You,' but I think they're all really strong tracks, epsecially since she apparently composed them during a week she was touring.

Omigosh guys..."Take My Hand" is pure euphoria.

I can't wait to hear the album in HQ...I mean, studio versions are great, but LQ mp3 rips from Pitchfork don't really count.

Okay, thanks. I bet Paul Epworth or the producer of the whole album did the standard version, then....very curious to see how it turns out.

Yes, exactly. And yep! The mixtape version is really similar to the album, though, and I bet the demo is too.

Almost crying at how beautiful the studio version of 'Lock You Up' is, and it's not even as good as I hoped.

ANOTHER ONE?!?!?!??!???!?
