OMGGGGGG WE MOVED

OMGGGGG Confessions II incoming?

I tried to make a top 20 songs of the year but tbh I'm sure I lowkey forgot many Florrie - Love Hearts AURORA - To Be Alright LAUREL - Only One Hayley Mary - The Lonely One Bonnie McKee - Just a Kiss Kylie Minogue - Taboo LAUREL - Deathwish David Kushner - Buried at Sea AURORA - Starvation Florrie - Kissing in the Cold Florrie - Looking for Love Paloma Faith - Pressure (feat. Kojey Radical) AURORA - The Dark Dresses Lightly Bonnie McKee - Electric Heaven David Kushner - Flesh x Blood iamnotshane - What Do You Do for a Living? I Do My Best (feat. EMME) Brooke Candy - Crisis (feat. Lozaek) Kerli - The Witching Hour LAUREL - Heavy Heart Dua Lipa - Maria

Lol I just found it but it sounds cute! do we know if it's a Higher Than Heaven outtake or a new song?

I can't care less about Portals nowadays ngl. That unnecessary elongation of the era is so tired I'm glad she's back on the studio though, hopefully we get to never hear about Cry baby anymore. She should write off-character, it is such an unexplored field for her

I think, just think but not entirely sure (almost though), that these three were just YouTube rips she put in the album for some reason. The Spek for each shows lossy af files even from FLAC or WAV CD/Qobuz/Tidal rips. Now, it's true we got lossless leaks for Cherry Blossom and Nectar of the Gods + 320 kbps for Living Legend, so that's why the leaks sound better. But I could swear the released versions are just some YouTube/SoundCloud rips. Essentially, rips from the leaks so that would be the same mix than the leaks, just in worse quality

I'm glad we all can agree Born to Die and Honeymoon are her best engineered and mixed albums. My top 3 remain Lust for Life, Chemtrails and Norman but some songs in them really slip away in terms of mixing

Ooooh thanks for clarifying! I always thought it was one of those songs like Fingertips iirc (correct me if I'm wrong but I swear I read that somewhere), where she used a voice memo I think. Now, if Kintsugi is actually a studio recording... what in the HELL is that vocal production

In Chemtrails, where she switches from "go to the market, the kids' swimming pools" to "baby, what's your sign?", it's very noticeable it's a different vocal take, or at least the EQ sounds different, deeper if you will? With more lows.

Arcadia, Text Book and Kintsugi. I love all three songs, but let me put in words what I mean. Arcadia - it has a terrible compression in the chorus (the vocals clash horribly it even distorts), and the overall mixing is very weird, even at such a simple instrumentation. Text Book - some parts are so off tempo that it sounds improvised. Couldn't she had done another take with more rehearsals? Btw this also applies for Candy Necklace's second chorus, the part where Jon starts playing faster but Lana hadn't finished singing so he had to slow down and she hurries up? It's too noticeable to ignore. Kintsugi - sounds like a voice memo placed over an instrumental - or worse, an instrumental created around a voice memo, which I'm certain it is. Again, she should've rehearsed the song based on the voice memo and then have a professional, in-studio recording for it, instead of using the first thing she recorded on her phone. @Charlottexseax at least that's what I find wrong with Kintsugi, but idk if they would mention something different.

LP - Churches (2021) When We Touch Goodbye Everybody's Falling in Love The One That You Love One Last Time How Low Can You Go Can't Let You Leave Conversation Safe Here Angels Rainbow Churches Poem

Kylie Minogue - Tension II (2024). I recently did this one but I found a folder with several outtakes so let's see: Lights Camera Action Taboo Someone for Me Good as Gone Kiss Bang Bang My Oh My (feat. Bebe Rexha & Tove Lo) Hello Water Diamonds Night Owl Dance to the Music Stars in Our Eyes Heartbreak City Deluxe version bonus track More Than a Feeling Deluxe version bonus track Shoulda Left Ya Deluxe version bonus track Puppet on a String Deluxe version bonus track

YES IT'S SO GOOD OMG i thought i was the only one obsessed with it

ooooh so NTMT is on a shower, and she's in a tub now... tbh this would eat as the photoshoot for a Masochism cover ngl

it's more like giving an occasional fuck tbh i tend to forget about Sky until this thread pops up on LB's main

Comes in on a leash, and out in a masochism No but it's like a fever dream to have a pre-save link for a Sky Ferreira song again. If the album never materialises, I really hope several of its songs at least get released as standalone singles. Descending, Pray for Rain, Guardian, All My Lovers Die and Legends are a MUST.

I did a considerably big retelling of the album so here it is: Clarity Extended Icy Broken Sweet Spot Personal Hell Do Me Blow It All Nothin' Another One All I Do Is Cry Reminds Me Shinin' Target/regional bonus track

Kim Petras - Era 1 (2018) I Don't Want It at All Hillside Boys All the Time Heart to Break Design of Your Heart Malibu Push Push Push 1,2,3 dayz up Slow It Down Can't Do Better Dark Part of Your Heart If U Think About Me...

Kim Petras - Clarity (2019) Clarity Extended version, give me at least 30 more seconds lol Icy Another One Broken Got My Number Sweet Spot Personal Hell Do Me Nothin' Blow It All All I Do Is Cry Reminds Me

Florrie - The Lost Ones (2024) The Lost Ones Never Far From Paradise Kissing in the Cold Personal Honeymoon's Over Looking for Love Communicate If It's Been a Hard Night Bad Movie Love Hearts Jealous Walk Away Florrie - Personal (retitled Paradise) [2023] Garden Butterflies Hours I Took a Little Something (New Version) Street Lights Swimming Pool Falling Back to You I'm Gonna Get You Back (New Version) this could ultimately be removed anyway Hell or High Water Borderline Human What If I'm Wrong Unstable

Sadly, this year it was very easy to narrow the album releases down to my top 10, even if we got a huge amount of albums in 2024. AURORA - What Happened to the Heart? Hayley Mary - Roman XS Florrie - The Lost Ones LAUREL - PALPITATIONS Kylie Minogue - Tension II Paloma Faith - The Glorification of Sadness Bonnie McKee - Hot City Bastille - & David Kushner - The Dichotomy Kerli - OVERSOUL I say 'sadly' because some (actually many) artists I really love released albums this year and were not it. Luckily there still was actual quality music out either way.

both Drum and Heavenly Body were released exclusively on her website (iirc it was for a limited time, not sure though), and neither are currently on streaming platforms

Kylie Minogue - Tension (2023) Padam Padam Extended version Tension Hold on to Now Things We Do for Love One More Time Heavenly Body Hands Extended version Green Light Vegas High Somebody to Love Story Just Imagine Deluxe version bonus track You Still Get Me High Deluxe version bonus track Drum Deluxe version bonus track Kylie Minogue - Tension II (2024) Lights Camera Action Taboo Extended version Someone for Me Extended version Good as Gone Kiss Bang Bang Extended version My Oh My (feat. Bebe Rexha & Tove Lo) Hello Diamonds Night Owl Dance to the Music Extended version Edge of Saturday Night Shoulda Left Ya

oh so that Delulu thing is actually on the album i'm excited for Best Friends though! Guillotine, River, Love Is Unkind and Off with Her Head sound interesting too so I'm excited about it

I ended up reducing my selection more if only 90% of these songs were longer Das Still Me Flip Phone Crisis (feat. Lozaek) Next Bitch Crucify My Love Wreck Me Juicy Fruit Safe Word Hysteria (feat. ALMA) Go Go Go Block Angel Tattoo Dirty Little Freak Spiral
