The vocal sample may be annoying but is unnoticeable after a few listens. Lyrically is intriguing and unlike many other songs on the radio it catches your attention and makes you think. I love Ariana, God is a woman and NTLTC have become some of my favourites from her so far actually. But if TLIC is an experimental song, then a song made out of farts would classify as divine tbh That song is just plain bad, you don’t have to be a musical genius to make it. A 10 year old could literally create the same thing. There’s almost no harmony. Also, the track requires almost no vocal range at all The track will most likely tie together with the rest of Sweetener as a full body of work nicely but as a standalone single... nnnnn But this is just my opinion and I do respect yours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEnigma 11,313 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 How original  it’s not like this hasn’t been done over and over for every decade of music. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
High King 640 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Ehh speak for yourself, putting the “breaking pop” and “alt/pop” playlists on shuffle has resulted in the discovery of hundreds of new bops, some of them being the freshest I’ve ever heard. Pop is as strong as ever in 2018. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitter 14 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Pop is just like R&B, hip-hop, classical, rock, and jazz. They have their moment in the spotlight then fade for a while and come back around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsterish 5,520 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I think I have a playlist with 10-15 songs on Spotify that I really liked in this first mid of 2018, which is really tragic  And I realised that I'm always listening Troye-Ariana-RosalĂa's singles on repeat, nothing else. I listened a few albums (Camila, Shawn, Bebe...), but they're weak and forgettable Probably, the worst year in pop music history Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagzus 13,646 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I’m thirsty for BIG ANTHEMIC pop songs again, I’m hoping Gaga’a gonna give us music that is layered, has great melodies and hooks (which she always seems to mostly with a few exceptions on Joanne for example) and I want DROPS, TRANSFORMS and PROGRESSION in her new album. I’m happy she’s going into the more EDM route again because now she can give us some big songs again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzGa 14,348 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Pop music today: -- Melodies are one to two notes -- The beat goes drdrdrrr-drp <rest> drdrdrr-drp <rest> in literally every song -- Choruses and hooks are a single line repeated and rhymed with nothing -- Lyrical content is: "I am a sad and emotional boi" or "I am the best and haters are bad" God created Adam and Eve, but Gọdga collabed with Brian🎺 and Steve🎷 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Stache 2,066 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 What pop music?  The only girl we have releasing right now is Ari and even she's using a lot of hip-hop influence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Stache 2,066 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I would argue 2013/14 was the last good year.  We had some exceptions here and there but overall pop is dead in 2018.  2017 was actually a decent year (although a lot of great music didn't go mainstream) with Dua Lipa's debut, Witness (hate on it but it was POP music with minimal hip-hop influence), Rainbow, Reputation (again not the best album in substance or commercial value but was still pop at its core), and even Charli XCX's Number 1 Angel, although it was a mixtape and didn't allow for album-level promotion.  If you want PURE electronic/synth pop you need to listen to Number 1 Angel.  Anyway, mainstream pop is dead at the moment but there is still some pop left if you look out of the mainstream.  Like I previously mentioned Charli XCX is devoted to pop music and the past 4 singles from her upcoming album have all been spectacular pop gold (aside from the hip hop influenced 5 in the Morning, which is still great), Kim Petras (if you can ignore the fact that she works with Dr. Luke), Tove Lo, and even RuPauls Drag Race alum Blair St. Clair's generic-sounding yet fun dance/EDM album.  Hopefully Gaga's work with SOPHIE and other PC/electronic producers can revitalize the pop industry where there is virtually no competition.
