Beauty King

The Kill, Eyes Closed, Impossible and Ooh La La are Jessie Ware songs. Did you get these on Last.fm or something? If so, it’s probably just a faulty scrobble.

Rick's website had a section that was theoretically not publicly accessible, which he used as a server for file storage. Basically all the final cuts of songs he'd done work on, going back 5-ish years were uploaded there. There was a song player on the public-facing portion of his website which streamed songs from that server, so people just followed the URL from the files in the player and ended up on the "private" section of his website. There was no password protecting the server itself. He did eventually individually password protect some of the files there (all the Lana and Lykke Li tracks he'd uploaded), but the damage was already done, as people had been watching the site for months before he put the passwords on. He also only had "Black Beauty" posted for a few days before removing it, so he clearly knew people had access.
 
Someone eventually posted a link to the server publicly and all 5 songs were leaked, in short order.
 
There's also other random tidbits, like the fact that "I Don't Wanna Go" was under the heading "Black Leather Moonlight" in his files and the file itself was labeled "Tonight", which is where we learned about both of those alt titles for it. Tons of other artists' work was there too, completely free to download if you had access. No passwords on anything but Lana and Lykke Li files.

It's not leaked and seemingly nobody who has it has any intention of leaking it.

Encourages people to listen to figure out the features, because it’s publicly stated that there are “secret features”. It gives a little extra boost to all the tracks.

it's not that i believe people shouldn't ever listen to melanie martinez, but it's incredibly shameful how her fans look the other way regarding her rape allegations, and other strange things she has done
 
not to mention her fans harassed and targeted her accuser to the point where she had to leave the internet, good on her for having the strength and the bravery to speak out again about it not too long ago

Hence why I said it was in the eyes of the voters, not objectively. It’s the air of “high art” that a lot of them look for.

Had a great summer, actually, without resorting to clubbing my problems away. Sobriety is wonderful and I highly recommend it!

Genuinely, you guys are crazy if you thought Charli was ever a contender in AOTY. The Grammys were never going to give a cocaine-centric party album that prize. It’s a slot considered to be reserved for only “high art” (i.e. serious, intentional, mindful, representational work) amongst a lot of the voting base and Brat does not clear that bar. Doesn’t matter what the cultural impact of the art was like outside of the voters’ bubble.

If those two are your favorite songs, I'd definitely recommend listening to their respective albums, Wounded Rhymes and I Never Learn. Lots more in the same style on each one.

As for getting into the rest of her discography, I'd say continue with the singles on her debut album, Youth Novels, then do the rest of the album, if those appealed to you.
 
The later parts of her discography are tougher to crack. So Sad, So Sexy is a bit more commercial and conventional and its accompanying Still Sad, Still Sexy EP doesn't add a whole lot to the  experience. Her latest album, Eyeye, is very heavy, sonically spare and vocally soft. Can be a bit tough to enjoy, as it's not nearly as melodically driven and serves more as a tonal work.

I’m gna be honest I had an irrational dislike for the swiftologist at first because of his face (it’s not even him being ugly, there are a lot of ugly people I actually like. I just instinctively did not agree with his face) but his god awful takes on music and pop culture gave me a valid reason to dislike him, which made me feel like a better person
