The Grace Jones couture and late 70's/early 80s electropop were not for nothing... Well, they were retro with a huge part of futuristic sounds Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "retro" elements to her music and fashion are what brought a lot of her attention and acclaim. I get what you're saying about lazy efforts to just regurgitate sounds that were successful in the past, but I think it's tiptoeing a very fine line of criticism. Especially as a fan of Lady Gaga lol Edited January 14 by Edonis Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBlond 14,015 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Houdini has really grown on me and the extended version is even better with those extra lyrics really taking it above average, so naturally, my vote's for the song that isn't about being unrepentant regarding cheating on your husband and breaking up another man's marriage and family. Yes, And? is such a strange song, it just falls flat, even without the smug lyrics and doesn't feel big enough for a comeback song yet it looks like it will be another hit for Ariana. It's odd, as I thought Dua's power was bigger than Ariana's right now, especially coming fresh off the back of Dance The Night, meaning she ordinarily would've had a massive lead hit automatically, but the public weirdly hasn't vibed with it. Yet, it seems more mainstream and accessible than Yes, And? I don't get the public sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
