Seriously though who has ever questioned Kate Bush, Tracy Chapman, Tori Amos?

listening to TRUE ROMANCE for the first time in a couple of years. holds up pretty well! why haven't i liked anything she's done since (apart from "boom clap")?

nothing else she's done really sounds like it?

Hopefully this will be enough of a hit so we actually get the album.

π 'They're doing all the sexy things that girls usually do in music videos' @charli_xcx reveals the all star cast in the video for 'Boys' pic.twitter.com/vAH0yDXxvl— BBC Radio 1 (@BBCR1) July 26, 2017
immediately loved this one
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 26 July 2017 21:54 (seven years ago) link
it was produced by a guy who has done stuff for terror jr, and you can def hear that muted narcotic thump thing going on but it's a little more playful than i.e. kiaara or what not, feels like her song
it is very lovely

This was a good read.

Apparently her third album isn't coming out until next year now!
― kitchen person, Friday, 28 July 2017 01:22 (seven years ago) link
I just hope that the viral clip is enough to get "Boys" on the radio so that people will actually care about a new Charli XCX album, whenever it gets here

Didn't recognise any of 'em! Assumed they were just random, er, boys. Great song.

the sound in the chorus is almost exactly "mario gets a coin", right?
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 29 July 2017 09:23 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, fitting that D.R.A.M. is in the video having used the same sound on "Cha Cha"
― Iain Mew (if), Saturday, 29 July 2017 09:47 (seven years ago) link
I'm a sucker for that mario coin sound. DRAM did it better but still I can't resist it.
― dance cum rituals (Moka), Saturday, 29 July 2017 18:20 (seven years ago) link
i'm always rooting for Charli XCX to do something better than those other people's hits she's on, but disappointed by the song. that coin sound is regrettable - it becomes cringe-inducing by the end, for me.
video would be better if it had some GOP limelighters. surely Boehner, Ryan, Kasich and Carson would have been up for some carwash / lawncare action.

just saw this in Spotify - is it a proper album?
― Jeff W, Friday, 15 December 2017 12:42 (six years ago) link
it's a 'mixtape' and basically it's Number 1 Angel part 2
― ufo, Friday, 15 December 2017 12:47 (six years ago) link
I have no idea how to differentiate between mixtape and album in this case. is it just because there is no physical release?
not to taint opinions out of the gate, but PC Music is all over this. it's also very good, Out of My Head in particular.
― fffv, Friday, 15 December 2017 15:03 (six years ago) link
no physical release + no real label support yeah
her next 'proper album' was finished like a year ago iirc but has been held back endlessly. after the afterparty is supposed to be on it and id imagine boys too
― ufo, Friday, 15 December 2017 15:12 (six years ago) link
after a few more listens I feel pretty confident saying this is both her best album and the best PC Music-adjacent release
― ufo, Saturday, 16 December 2017 15:08 (six years ago) link
Checked this out after the year-end polls and Backseat has been in my head for days.

this feels like it was from the same sessions as After the Afterparty because it's just as dull
― ufo, Thursday, 31 May 2018 14:01 (six years ago) link
I've only casually kept up w/her since "Boom Clap" (which I loved); but a track like this seems to erase everything that was distinctive about her... it's super generic and could be anyone.

two new songs - Focus and No Angel. quite like No Angel, would fit right in with the best of Pop 2 but Focus only has one idea and it's not a very good one
