Okay, come ON guys. Don't sleep on her. Get the fuck on board!!
 
How is she not absurdly famous?

Can we talk about how Kimbra is the most underrated artist to ever exist on this ignorant planet?! Honestly, I don't understand how she isn't ruling the whole damn world. She doesn't even have a thread here, what's up with that? Everyone remembers her feature on the Gotye song, and most people have heard Settle Down, but if you've seen a live performance and you're not ob-fucking-sessed I just don't comprehend how your brain processes (or fails to process) music.

I'm enchanted.

From favorite to least favorite:
 
1. Sad Girl (Love the slow-burning sass and jazz and the bridge is perfect)
2. Ultraviolence (Excellent vibe, perfect title track, and the inclusion of the lyrics/melody from FMUTTT at the final chorus is one of my favorite parts of the whole album. If every song had some harmonizing at the end like that the album would have been perfect. Songs like Old Money, Cruel World, FMWUTTT, PWYC, MPG and even SOC would have been excellent with some flair added in the final chorus!)
3. Florida Kilos (So fun to listen to, so hilarious to envision, such ear candy. I love it)
4. Brooklyn Baby (cute as fuck)
5. Black Beauty 
6. Fucked My Way Up To The Top (that "lay me down tonight" part is so great and i love the concept of the whole song but the bridge doesn't make it any better which bumps it down a few spots )
7. The Other Woman (I think it's a beautiful cover)
8. West Coast (On fire)
9. Cruel World (On fire)
10. Shades Of Cool 
11. Is This Happiness (Damn, the introspection and nostalgia break me down)
12. Pretty When You Cry (Addicted to the pre chorus but can't do the chorus)
13. Old Money (love the verses lifted from methamphetamines, and the chorus is gorgeous and emotional, but the song is too "Young and Beautiful" for me)
---Love all the above songs. I typically will not elect to listen to the songs below, but I don't HATE them (aside from Guns and Roses. It's so bad)
14. Money Power Glory (hilarious, and the chorus is powerful, but the song doesn't speak to me like the rest of 'em)
15. Flipside (forgettable)
16. Guns And Roses (boring)
 
This seems to be how it's settled. The top three of the list and last three of the list were pretty much solidified after 7-10 or so listens, but songs in the middle of the list shifted a bit even after listening to the album well over 30 times. I love this album so much and it sent me into another serious Lana obsession, but I think I like her other two albums a little more. BTD only had two duds for me and more songs that slayed me, and the eerie surf noir sound of AKA was so intriguing and interesting to me. I totally dig the narco-swing going on here though, it's intense. 

But it's sooooooo good 
 
(I'm rooting for a lizzie revival)

I think For K Part 2 is beautiful brilliant poetry!

you posted that in the wrong thread, the ellie goulding thread is a few posts lower doll.

The snippets may not do the album justice, but just judging off those, the album is sorely underwhelming.
 
The song produced by Max Martin doesn't fit Adele's voice at all. She's too big (vocally ) for the production style. And she tries to serve lowkey Florence + The Machine teas on some of these tracks.

I like the themes of 25 more than 21

the production sounds great in itunes quality on headphones. it's wonderfully produced, 21 was brilliant, but a bit more sombre for the most part, 25 feels a little bigger with its production, a bit more diverse.

this whole record reminds me of ceremonials with the water imagery throughout

She did an interview on sirius xm, and i recorded it. She did icon, standard and howyoudoit, plus cant feel my face cover. https://soundcloud.com/thisisreallyannoying/empress-of-live-at-siriusxm

Can more people like become obsessed with her?

Yeah that was my status...I was obsessed with a few tracks on Systems (Hat Trick) and then Water Water came out a few months ago and I think it was my favorite song of the summer. Now the album has followed and every song is just as good as Water Water!!! I think my faves are How Do You Do It and Make Up. 

I've been snapchatting her some haha

I can't get enough of "Make Up".

What am I SAYING? This is Lanz we're talking about, this album is probably coming out 2017 at the earliest because she's probably met up with Lindsay Lohan who's going to bring the fire back into her life by farting into a mic and remixing it on GarageBand and she'll rewrite all of her songs
