Rolling Pop 2016

it's extremely okay. never minded hearing it when it was on radio 24/7 but was never overjoyed either.

the chorus feels just a touuuuuch lazy but those harmonies at the end are pretty tight

it was discussed some on Rolling Worst Songs, what I said then: "I suppose it was inevitable that the "sharing economy" propagandic bullshit would make its way, however loosely, into song concepts. can't find a real job, ladies? don't worry, you can spend your time cheerily sexting your boyfriend, who has retconned "Bo$$"

fair criticism, but at least that song sounds semi-fun (despite repeating "work" relentlessly lol) in a year when most big pop albums seem...not all that fun? (i like a couple of em a lot, but still.)

the song is specifically about someone who works the night shift, but never let a close reading get in the way of a blurb that writes itself

anyway, i fux with this (also old) sia/sean paul song too

i do not fux with that

"work from home" is okay. rugrats-theme mustard.

ha! that's a great description

i'm into "work from home" even though as a freelancer i find working from home an extremely unsexy metaphor, it's def rugrats mustard but it's never not enjoyable either

the album is excellent, surprisingly

have we really not talked about "work from home" on ilx???

give me "not all that fun" over queasy forced fun every day

if we're talking about like that timberlake song for example, then yeah def

that is an example definitely, "work from home" very much so

I do think it's interesting that a lot of songs right now have what could be seen as propagandistic choruses - "Work," the repetition of the first word in "Work From Home," Daya's "Sit Still Look Pretty," heck even "No" - especially in the age of excruciatingly narrow playlists

where are my THEY LIVE earbuds eh

pretty good, though i'm not sure about the farting synths at the end

now that i've been reminded of fifth harmony i would like to say that the pre-chorus (as the pop industryites call it now) to "flex" is so gorgeous that i'm mad it wasn't written into a better song

Playlist is updated.

The Petite Meller album is a lot of fun (and very good).

Love the fact that batshit crazy videos like this still exist in 2016
