maybe if the craterous landfill of western chart pop in 2015 is the only contemporary chart pop you follow

(disclaimer: talking about pop specifically made for the charts, not the crossover stuff that sometimes winds up there – western rap radio is a very fertile crescent rn)

gawd, what a lousy review of (the indeed sophomorically titled) album in the New Yorker. Is carrie battan a Pitchfork person? Her paternalistic, banal shit therein suggests as such around…what year did they decide to talk about Ne-Yo and trey Songz again? was the year of PR&B 2011?

I was gonna post here to make fun of it too. She puts the cliches in the windows like new toys.

I like a few of the songs on the album but I don't understand the monstrous appeal of The Hills at all - it's arguably Abel at his most contrived. What do people love about it?

longneck, Wednesday, 28 October 2015 09:05 (eight years ago) link

People loving 'honesty.'

two weeks pass...

saw this tour last nite, p good his voice still sounds great even in a big arena
every teen girl around us knew every single word to every song but i guess thats not surprising
minor complaint that he turned glass table girls into kindof a rock song :(

the verses are pretty good, hook feels a little limp compared to "can't feel my face" (though what wouldn't?)

mostly i think it's pretty hard to pick up on any traces of daft punk so i feel like this is mostly a flex on his part and he prob has better shit in the holster

J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 September 2016 18:58 (seven years ago) link

I like his voice on this but the whole "I'm a muhfuckin starboy" chorus makes him sound so... small, in a mean mugging selfie kind of way. .

feat daft punk is def a flex but i was greatly relieved not to hear them so it's cool

have already forgotten this song anyway. lot of waiting around for the lookwhatchadone! meth shiver

r|t|c, Thursday, 22 September 2016 20:02 (seven years ago) link

i finally decided to listen to "i can't feel my face" for the first time
it's p catchy
starboy seems decent, both songs really fancy but he seems like a piece of shit misogynist but i spose that's supposed to be the appeal?

"I Feel It Coming" is so good

qop (crüt), Friday, 18 November 2016 05:49 (seven years ago) link

yeah that one sounds awesome

J0rdan S., Friday, 18 November 2016 14:47 (seven years ago) link

18 tracks seems like a lot

johnny crunch, Friday, 18 November 2016 15:04 (seven years ago) link

I am still amazed this guy's career survived Kiss Land

Evan R, Friday, 18 November 2016 19:35 (seven years ago) link

He has a great voice!

qop (crüt), Saturday, 19 November 2016 04:41 (seven years ago) link

he always had a really strong fanbase but i do remember thinking that maybe he had blown his shot at pop stardom with kiss land

J0rdan S., Saturday, 19 November 2016 04:44 (seven years ago) link

"I Feel It Coming" is so good

This one feels more like something off RAM. How many tracks did he do w Daft Punk?

Naive Teen Idol, Wednesday, 23 November 2016 14:08 (seven years ago) link

Some sweet wordplay from Abel
Abel is introducing us to his sweet new asian girl by bragging about her ability to either drop it low, or go down low (on him). He says “low, mane” to sound like the popular asian dish known as Lo Mein.
