I'm also hearing "patchy" but not in a bad way. The payoffs are big.

my choice cuts: levitating, love again, break my heart, don't start now. really, everything but the closer (billsteve otm), it's a super bubbly, crafty, and enjoyable record.

I think the debut was patchier than this, but higher in the peaks. I love her at her most relentless, "Begging" in the debut, "Hallucinate" here.

Physical > Levitating > Pretty Please (terrific bassline) is a sublime sequence. Prefer it by a wide margin to the debut. If she named it Bangerville it wouldn't have been arrogant.

"Levitating" has become my favorite. What a jam. I dance to it in my isiolation.

Moka upthread OTM, "Good in Bed' sounds like a rejected Lily Allen song from 2006. The rest of the album is great.

I know Dedicated was well-liked in these parts, but this album gives me the feeling I was hoping to get from that album. I caught the White Town sample but didn't notice the INXS interpolation. Guess I'll just listen to the whole album again

At long last, a bunch of remixes for “Physical”. josh is hyping the dreamy Erika de Casier Remix on the EdC thread, but I’m here for the hi-energy Leo Zero Disco Remix:http://www.youtube.com/watch?=fC_wSCls3h0

I've seen a few of those over the years, and anecdotally I feel that women handle the hot sauces better than men do.

Her singing is competent, but lacking in personality (she sounds bored). The music is mostly polite, generic dance-pop. The White Town sample is distracting, as samples of well-known songs can be. I like what “Break My Heart” does with the INXS melody.

i'm not satisfied by the dialogue i've seen about dua lipa, maybe i just haven't found the good stuff. nothing is good at describing how successfully she occupies this space of having been around the block re: love and relationships but maintaining this clear line from what she knows is real love to how it may or may not play out for her. the register of her voice, the craft of the songs all highlight this appeal. when people accuse it of being generic i think they .. aren't available for this kind of direct, concise, surprisingly deep and worldly discourse on love from a contemporary pop star. she has been very good and successful and convincing at giving us variations on this not generic but general theme. i have a hard time thinking of pop stars who i can satisfactorily compare her to for this reason.
― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Monday, 27 July 2020 20:02 (four years ago) link
it occurred to me that she's like if Amy Winehouse wasn't reactionary, a la "oh contemporary pop music is so bad, I want to sound like when it was so pure" etc etc… it so happens that her voice is very similar to AW's, but it is used atop state of the art pop stylings…

dua lipa is fine. I'm a little suspicious of how pop stars are rewarded commercially and sometimes critically for having very manicured, "always on", don't-rock-the-boat personas (the recent twitter thing an amusing aberration) but she's got a bunch of jams it would be silly to deny

I'm confused by that tweet up there. I worked out belatedly that The Black Madonna has changed her name to The Blessed Madonna. Featuring actual pop star Madonna ( I misunderstood and thought she was being referred to as Blessed) also featuring Missy E but there other person in that pictorial collage is not Missy.

the album version has an unhinged giddiness that this mostly wipes out, and i'm sad they cut the "but whatever let's get lost on Mars" bit. missy's verse is fun though.
