I did not expect this so soon eeeeeeeeep another hugely anticipated album! Slay me September

Charli XCX Lana Del Rey Other irrelevants? According to her Twitter, Azealia never submitted her verse for "Ratchet", so it remains solo Sounds like a damn mess, though.

So I'm the only one who likes Outta Time? Only one I don't really dig is Trouble.

Yes I'm seeing her in LA I just didn't know where the hell else she was performing tbh

Also Gaga is notoriously reliant on a backing track for choruses--often entire choruses aren't sung live or she's using layered vocals and only the backing vocals play. Idk if I'd go as far as lipsyncing but she ain't innocent.

Oh no it seems really plausible that they're gonna do a hubby/wife band that's the woooooorst

Totally! As for comparisons, idk their voices aren't really similar at all but Tennis Court kinda reminds me of the Justin Parker demo of "Born to Die". Limited scope of artists I guess, Lana's pretty close in the current realm of pop girls. And I think like Lana, she'll be one of the few "tumblr acts" to really outlast the hype--with less backlash, but still. Sweeet, where are you from? Also lucky because you'll already have studio versions to memorize! (I've pretty much got Ribs and Buzzcut Season down pat even though they're live versions, though~)

So in short she can go fuck herself with her endless stank attitude and the complete inability to defend her that she leaves her fans with~ Outtie

You said the same thing about Applause She's not Bjork ffs

Daddy's Girl and Boys Don't Cry are sooooo good. I'm really loving this album, let me replay it 800 times. Natalia, you've got me

This day is too fucking much for me. Is that Korean rapping? Sky's part is pretty lovely, though.

So let's chat. ARTPOP > Swine > Aura > Sex Dreams > MANiCURE > Applause > I Wanna Be With U > Jewels & Drugs But I really loved then all. SO FUCKING MUCH. Death at the "ARTPOP" hate--that might be one of the best songs she's ever written! I was sure "Sex Dreams" was going to be my favorite, and I still love it a serious amount, but "ARTPOP" and "Swine" both had me close to peeing my pants. ARTPOP - Love the dreamy vibe, it reminds me of a more subdued "Heavy Metal Lover". The bridge is fantastic and "Free my mind, ARTPOP / You make my heart stop" is already such an unavoidable "yasssssss" moment for me. Swine - I thought the live version was going to be a lot more angsty and rock than it actually ended up being but I'm pleased with the result! I'm really surprised DJ Whiteshadow did this because it seems like such a Zedd anthem. Hopefully not the second title because the title alone comes with some skepticism. But it works. And the performance was crazy. Aura - Honestly hasn't gotten old yet and I've played the hell out of it. Sex Dreams - GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. THE SPOKEN WORD. THE RETRO CHORUS. THE VOCALS, THE LYRICS. SECOND SINGLE PLEASE. MANiCURE - The backing track "man cure!" is where it's fucking at, man. Also single worthy! Applause - Great ARTPOP mission statement, one of the best choruses, will be the perfect album ender--maybe not more than The Edge of Glory but close. I Wanna Be With U - Cute, basically. Sad to see it will probably boot "Princess Die" as token ballad because it's less depressing. But whereas Hair and Y&I should have stayed piano ballads, I hope this one gets the huge production treatment to fit in with the album and get rid of the same chords she always plays. Jewels & Drugs - Could actually slay the GP! It will serve it's jamming purpose no doubt. Very The Fame, which I love. This reminded me of you: "If you want, you can continue to pick her apart. (Hi, Azealia Banks!) However, in my opinion, that’s a boring hobby best left to Twitter trolls, and it’s really no longer relevant. Genuine criticism is one thing (if a song’s no good or a performance sucks, then by all means, let’s hear the argument), but in my eyes (and ears), she’s doing no wrong musically." I kid (sorta). Hope you do give the album an unbiased chance. I'm so annoyed with Azealia but this makes me excited that it'll end up on the app at least because at the end of the day of course I wanna hear their song. Sounds...not great, though. Always loved that instrumental, though.

Bizarre Love Triangle - New Order

Saturday Night?! I'm really feeling everything about Trouble over Perfectionist, if you've only managed to listen to older material. Anyway, I think I'm gonna have to make a custom tracklist for Trouble like I did with Electra Heart because I want Feel Myself on there and based on the snippets the order of the songs is all sorts of wrong.

Every time I try to clap behind my back I miss I don't hear that comparison, in what way?

What is @@TrailerParkDarling doing liking that lyric post? Man I loooove the "criminals of thought"/"evidence in our heads" motif. It reminds me of a more intelligent Poker Face--like an eloquent way of talking about sexual fantasies How far we've come from "I can see you staring there from across the block with a smile on your mouth and your hand on your HA!" ngl I wanted another rehearsal video, though.

"Saturday Night" is the only ballad that's really impressing me...But again, they're just snippets. I love the sound of most of them.

FUCKIN SEX DREAMS WHAT IS THIS I need Sunday to get here immediately

@@Madrigal did you fuck with my title? The Moon Song is so good! Looooove subdued Karen, it reminds me of "Song for a Warrior" and "Duet"--and that style is always preferred, would love a (real) solo album like that.

See I thought iTunes Fest was gonna be yet another rendition of Gagz + her piano but I'm excited that she's making rock versions...It makes a lot more sense to go from dance to rock than dance to acoustic. I hope we get another rehearsal teaser today OMFG

Lemme update. Absolutely confirmed: - Applause - ARTPOP - Aura - Donatella - Gypsy - Manicure - Mary Jane Holland - Swine Probable - Girl Under You - Nothing On But the Radio - Sex Dreams - Tea Probably Booted Completely - Princess Die - Ratchet - Red Flame 8/15(16) "Manicure" sounds so much better than the lyrics indicated.

Post/link! Someone oughta do a masterpost for this girl. I swear no one has access to her outside of Europe.

Fuuuuuuu this better be true

You're a Bonnie McKee fan?

Swine sounds so great shiiiiiiiit, just imagine an EDM version
