I'm hoping that CMAT isn't on the list because Euro-Country is #1 

Also, I like Lily Allen a lot and WEG was undeniably explosive and exciting for ~the culture~, but to act like that album has any staying power whatsoever is... generous lol 

So was putting Addison before Sable, Fable my god

Yeah, ngl I basically only respect the Lily Allen record as performance art because the music itself is not very good lmao

If Life of Ass is above Mayhem, Rolling Stone has about the same credibility Trump has managing the US economy.

Is Addison Rae’s album really THAT good? Genuinely asking.

It's a pop masterpiece debut album.

2. CMAT – Euro-Country

1. Rosalía – Lux

With its lyrics in 13 languages and references to dozens of historical female saints, the fact that Lux manages to transcend scholarly chin-stroking and dry Wiki deep dives is near miraculous, and the credit is solely Rosalía’s. While this isn’t her first album to alchemise the past and present – see 2018’s second album El Mal Querer and its heady flamenco-R&B hybrid – the stakes are far higher on Lux, and the balancing act more pronounced. What elevates it, apart from its multi-layered melodies, rich compositions and engrained drama, is the playfulness at its heart. Like Björk during her effortless 90s peak, there’s a sense of wonderment to Rosalía’s voice that sweeps you up into its tornado. Even when she’s tearing your heart in two, as on La Yugular’s blossoming balladry, or the ascension to heaven on the closing Magnolias, you want to be right there with her.

It’s a solid pop record with heavy Y2K influences. She’s not the best vocalist nor the best songwriter, but she releases really good bops. Plus all the producers on the album are female, I thought that was really cool 

[Fish 6,248]

the addison rae ass kissing will be studied for decades to come. 

yes she has some good moments and the production is interesting but her voice is so flat and she lacks charisma and a true original point of view. also the lyrics are weird. 

 

anyways luv xxx
