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'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

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

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
