kin is my least favorite of the iam albums (even including be here soon at this point tbh)

 

everyone afraid to be forgotten is my overall least favorite though - it’s just messy and would benefit from a trimming and refining

I feel it's pointless to compare cause every album was released at a different point of the revelation of their identities.

 

I think what made this project extremely magical was the intrigue behind the idea of "you don't need an identity/to be famous to create art" and ofc the clever idea of (which I'm not sure if it was premeditated or not) being associated with so many big names back then. People debating if it was xtina, or gaga, or goldfrapp, or bjork, etc etc was such good promo on its own.

 

bounty had that magic of them being completely and utterly unknown so that gave them boundless creative freedom.

kin came with all the expectations built after bounty+their identities revealed to some, so for me kin is their greatest work as of yet cause it had a LOT of pressure to be good, and it was not only good but incredible, having the songs follow one same unique dark electronic sound while every song still sounding incomparable to one another. In my opinion, it's the most cohesive of all the albums (not saying that's a good or bad thing) so as a body of work it's incredible.

BLUE had a lot of connection to the fans and kind of was a result of their direct support and input, and also it's hard to release a 3rd good album after 2 incredible albums+hype starting to die, identities fully revealed, etc.

KRONOLOGI was a really smart move, cause there wasn't any need of further work, it's a compilation of things that didn't fit here or there. I love artists who do these kind of releases, as I love artists who have their patreon where they release demos, unreleased and covers.
This album unfortunately is not having me head over heels yet, but I won't judge until the full thing has come out and I've fully took it in. Lyrically, all their albums are incredible. Musically, everyone will have their own preference. But there's no denying iamamiwhoami is a pure statement about making good art being fully in the hands of the artist.

Couldn't agree more !  It pretty much sums up what I think.

I do love the music from this new project so far though. It seems that visually, it's not going to work as a cohesive piece. The previous ones worked as some kind of movie with one global storytelling. Here we're getting some kind of music videos collection. It's still nice, just not as impressive and immersive.

thunder lightning best so far

[saith 1,185]

 

It arrived at the right moment for me. Thanks you Ionnalee

 

The album is going to be released next friday guys  I've avoided listening to the songs in order so far. I can't wait.

[Furor Poeticus 16,359]

Well I’m really disappointed  not that I’m not fond of a more organic, folky sound, but some of the songs don’t make me feel anything. I was trying really hard to love this album but for some reason I just can’t. It’s between 5 or 6/10 to me 

Spoiler

The highlights: don’t wait for me, changes, thunder lighting, call my name and maybe walking on air

 

[Fingertips 72,043]

Most disappointing album ever. Sorry not sorry, Jonna. 4.5/10

[Coney Island King 26,003]

Congratulations on iamamiwhoami being responsible for creating the most boring album in the history of the human race and the Earths existence.

 

I played this utterly dull drivel once and never again. Horrendous.

couldn't agree more. No streams from me, and then they have the nerve to be "saddened by the state of independent music" 

 

Yeah, no one wants to stream this crap for good reason. 

[iJoshicus 188]

Honestly I really enjoyed this album. Much more than her ionnalee music. Nothing groundbreaking, but I love a good ballad, and it’s essentially an easy-listening album. 
Don’t wait for me, canyon, and a thousand years were my stand outs.

Well honestly you're allowed to your own opinion but using words as crap is completely disrespectful. It is disrespectful for the artist who obsviously put their heart into their art. It is also disrespectful to people who enjoy the album. 

It is not against you Thunder. I just don't understand the amount of toxicness in here. Of course we're here to discussed. You can say you don't like something and elaborate, it's the point of a forum but saying things like that is definitely not constructive.

And please people don't make it a "my taste is better than yours" case.

 

Back on subject I'm personnaly really touched by the new music. It really speaks to me on a deep level. It is a spiritual experience. 

I wish Ionnalee and her new born child all the best and I'm eagerly waiting for the full visual to be released on her own time. 

 

[Furor Poeticus 16,359]

I’m slightly jealous of the fans from their FB group who are calling this album a masterpiece lol 

[111 36,699]

ok it wasn't that bad lmao i mean remember the future was worse but yeah this doesn't come anywhere near to the level of quality she had as ionna or even the great everyone afraid to be forgotten

“You are allowed to have an opinion but only if it’s expressed the way i like”…

I hear what you're saying, but at the same time, no need to single me out either tbh (it's fine tho)
