she's great live! just wish she'd played a longer set but she did "intimate (club mix)" as an encore though at least

Love this. Will it get an official release?

very enjoyable
I believe that is an official link? it's also on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/track/4v7SAKFEqPyuYTy9gQRnHP?si=1a312715fdaf4219

On first listen I was a bit underwhelmed, but now I’ve had a chance to listen more it‘s really revealed itself, what a great version.

she has a new writing credit here alsohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArmDp-zijuc

good interview about her work for newjeans
it mentions that her new album is finished & coming soon!
― ufo, Friday, 4 August 2023 23:43 (ten months ago) link
great interview. Love that bit about newjeans’ management liking the fact that she didn’t listen to kpop

new song "lucky" premiered here at 48:30 except they talk over most of it, but the part they don't talk over sounds absolutely fantastic. they also reveal the new album is titled still
― ufo, Wednesday, 10 January 2024 11:56 (five months ago) link
Lucky is amazing. Doesn't it have a pretty prominent sample or something? I think I recognize something.
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 10 January 2024 13:08 (five months ago) link
Oh, a new album is coming, and the single is out now! https://pitchfork.com/news/erika-de-casier-announces-new-album-still-shares-video-for-new-song-lucky-watch
― Frederik B, Wednesday, 10 January 2024 14:18 (five months ago) link
Awesome!
― Chewshabadoo, Wednesday, 10 January 2024 14:30 (five months ago) link
sounds great
judging from the credits it should be a Rodney Jerkins and LaShawn Daniels sample, must be the piano? something sounds familiar
― corrs unplugged, Wednesday, 10 January 2024 16:50 (five months ago) link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZOKYZtERFQ
yeah the full "lucky" is wonderful, i'm delighted she's going full "empty"
the piano is sampled from linda karaly's "can't let go"
― ufo, Wednesday, 10 January 2024 22:53 (five months ago) link
Love this so much - I've wanted her to make songs like this ever since the club mix of "Intimate".
― Tim F, Wednesday, 10 January 2024 23:55 (five months ago) link
yeah, it's exactly what i've wanted more of from her. already a soty contender
― ufo, Thursday, 11 January 2024 00:35 (five months ago) link
the drums on this are soooooo good
― ufo, Thursday, 11 January 2024 12:44 (five months ago) link
Lucky is pretty nice. The descending piano melody reminiscent of Christopher Cross "Sailin".Pre-chorus has "You Gotta Be" vibes.Verse melody at 29-33 seconds is 100% from some rnb or pop tune that I'm going crazy trying to remember. Anybody?
― mr.raffles, Thursday, 11 January 2024 14:15 (five months ago) link
Song of the year
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 11 January 2024 14:27 (five months ago) link
I think it might actually be a “sailin’” sample
Song reminds me to so many other things in certain points, but it’s perfect on its own. Really excited about the full album.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 11 January 2024 14:30 (five months ago) link
Wouldn't mind a copy of just the rhythm track on this thing. Real good fun.
― mr.raffles, Thursday, 11 January 2024 15:50 (five months ago) link

That's nice, but was thinking literally just beats (maybe bass). The skittering action and 16th notes make me real happy.
― mr.raffles, Thursday, 11 January 2024 17:38 (five months ago) link
the sample is 100% "can't let go", the writers are credited and everything
― ufo, Thursday, 11 January 2024 18:08 (five months ago) link
i think this is the best r & breakbeats song i have ever heard
love this, so gorgeous and deceptively effortless
― Roz, Friday, 12 January 2024 03:09 (five months ago) link
being an outlier here but I think this is a bit underwhelming
― boxedjoy, Friday, 12 January 2024 08:43 (five months ago) link
Yeah she sounds a little buried in the fog of the sample to me and this style is not new. Thinking of Cuando Fue that I have relistened to a lot lately.
― Nabozo, Friday, 12 January 2024 09:46 (five months ago) link
i think this is a great record, i also wish it was mixed differently to give her vocals the effect of levitating above the beat instead of being engulfed by it. the one main difference i would draw between this & something like "empty"
― slob wizard (J0rdan S.), Friday, 26 January 2024 17:09 (four months ago) link
Ok I just heard 'Lucky' on a playlist having not heard or registered her name before, and I had to look and see if it was newjeans. So I'm glad to learn there's a connection.
― Jordan s/t (Jordan), Thursday, 1 February 2024 15:38 (four months ago) link
new album sounds very good on first listen but "lucky" is the clear standout
― ufo, Tuesday, 20 February 2024 23:40 (three months ago) link
after a few more listens i feel a bit underwhelmed, "lucky" is incredible but totally overshadows the rest of the album which is low key even by her standards and the songs are a little weaker and less interesting than usual too
― ufo, Thursday, 22 February 2024 12:46 (three months ago) link
i enjoyed "ice", but mostly because it's well-executed pastiche of a rap/r&b duet from 20 years ago

hmm it's growing on me!

whoa, I just learned about the newjeans connection. makes a lot of sense.
