Such a great year. Mario's "Let Me Love You" has got to be my favorite song to hear late at night on the radio. There's a station in town that often plays it at 2 or 3 in the morning, and it guts me every time.
― Evan R, Saturday, 25 February 2012 18:26 (thirteen years ago)
i'm incapable of singing along with that song without changing the "good love" line to "good dick"

whats the 411
― D-40, Sunday, 26 February 2012 03:49 (thirteen years ago)
A sidelined, forgotten UK girl-group who released a handful of great singles that didn't set the world alight and so ended up dropped. Which is a shame, Dumb was a fantastic single.

god i completely forgot about the 411

Wikipedia says they were English. Were they one of those acts that essentially didn't exist in America? Looks like they never charted here
― Evan R, Sunday, 26 February 2012 17:39 (thirteen years ago)
i did not know that estelle was kicking around in 04, unless that's a different estelle
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 26 February 2012 17:46 (thirteen years ago)
She was, stylus mag covered her quite a bit iirc
― D-40, Sunday, 26 February 2012 18:00 (thirteen years ago)
j0rdan have you never heard "1980"? it's amazing, maybe better than "american boy"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0ODOYNAuGM
estelle's debut album was patchy but its best moments were really strong

american boy is nails on a chalkboard to me for some reason
it seemed to get a lot of DJ play well past its sell-by date

iPhone just tried to autocorrect sesh to "swag" and I swear i've never typed that word before \o/
― ploppawheelie V (k3vin k.), Monday, 27 February 2012 03:45 (thirteen years ago)
yeah i hate that song
― J0rdan S., Monday, 27 February 2012 04:01 (thirteen years ago)
lol american boys
― lex pretend, Monday, 27 February 2012 08:17 (thirteen years ago)
I like this new Estelle song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUuEYM9vjlw
― marissa explains it all (The Reverend), Monday, 27 February 2012 10:22 (thirteen years ago)
Joining the anti-"American Boy" chorus. That song is so cloying I view everything Estelle has done since with suspicion.
― Evan R, Monday, 27 February 2012 15:14 (thirteen years ago)
I love you guys, I thought I was the only one too.
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 04:09 (thirteen years ago)
that estelle song confuses me. ("thank you," not "american boy.") specifically this line: "sometimes I wonder could she be more of a woman to you than you are a man to me." though it doesn't seem that confusing typed out. something about her phrasing when she's singing it is weird. also the chorus is sort of cringe-y. but her voice sounds nice.
― horseshoe, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 04:25 (thirteen years ago)
She has a new song with Janelle Monae that just leaked, too. It would probably be pretty good if Estelle weren't on it.
― Evan R, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 06:01 (thirteen years ago)
iirc the "american boy" thread is really long bcuz we there was a major argument over whether or not it secretly sucked? or maybe it was some other BS
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 28 February 2012 06:06 (thirteen years ago)
iirc there was a long "Marcello says racist things" tangent and a long "state of r&b" tangent
― marissa explains it all (The Reverend), Tuesday, 28 February 2012 06:13 (thirteen years ago)
yeah i remember the state of r&b tangent
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 28 February 2012 06:14 (thirteen years ago)
god, that's probably really embarrassing for a lot of us
haha
― ploppawheelie V (k3vin k.), Tuesday, 28 February 2012 06:16 (thirteen years ago)
yeah, i just looked at it. it ain't pretty

"american boy" is obviously a great song. y'all just don't like being objectified

lol
― Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 15:39 (thirteen years ago)
Weirdest part of that thread is where everybody pines to hear more "R&B house."
Everybody was all like, "this stuff is great, wish I could hear more of it." Guess the monkey's paw had the last laugh, huh?
― Evan R, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 15:44 (thirteen years ago)
that was pre-guetta

― marissa explains it all (The Reverend), Tuesday, 28 February 2012 19:23 (thirteen years ago)
yeah if the current r&b-house stuff sounded like "Damaged" nobody would be complaining.
― Peace (peaceful) (The Brainwasher), Tuesday, 28 February 2012 19:27 (thirteen years ago)
rich four four's 4x4 r&b mix from that year was so good
i'd been dreaming of an urban/dance fusion for YEARS before that too
and then it happened :(
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 19:34 (thirteen years ago)
haha i know right
― D-40, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 22:19 (thirteen years ago)
You could actually make an interesting but depressing 5 yr chronological mix that starts with like "Please Don't Stop The Music" and "Because of You (Remix)", peaks with the golden age of stargate / the-dream and then works its way through to the bitter end with idk "Turn Me On" or something.
― Tim F, Tuesday, 28 February 2012 22:33 (thirteen years ago)
it would start with "the way i are" i think
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 February 2012 00:08 (thirteen years ago)
and if indeed "turn me on" is the bitter end of this awful trend, "starships" probably signifies a brand new avenue of shit for our pop stars to head enthusiastically down
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 29 February 2012 00:09 (thirteen years ago)
:( i like both those songs.
