Red 97,987 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I thought she was Katy Perry the first time I listened to Somebody That I Used to Know on the radio If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Change the link to Sweet Relief to 90s Music or Miracle tbh But yes, she's a goddess and IDK why critics didn't hit up the avant garde art pop, soul, electronica, R&B conceptual MASTERPIECE that is The Golden Echo. I think they thought it was pretentious, but unlike albums like ARTPOP (no shade, love that album) it was actually perfectly executed and the themes were reflected throughout the music 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggs 2,773 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I really want to like her. She has got a fantastic voice, great ideas and a few fantastic songs (I will never not love Teen Heat, and Settle Down is low-key a classic) but I feel she rarely gets the execution right. The Golden Echo was an overproduced MESS. But yeah, I hope whatever she comes up with next is actually good because her brand of genre-hopping, experimental pop should be right up my street.
