i love boom clap like i love very few other songs of the past few years. i don't feel compelled to play it, it doesn't slay me, but it somehow sustains me while i'm listening to it, it lends me a type of buoyancy that i don't get from much else.

i listened to it like 6 goddamn times in a row when i stumbled upon it via spotify! i dont turn her stuff on like, completely on the regular but every time i do its usually for extended loops - either the album or one of the new singles

on Break The Rules: "A lot of people think that single is really calculated, because it’s like a record label’s wet dream; I handed it in in June, and they were like, “This is perfect, school starts in September.” But it came so naturally and it’s very tongue-in-cheek."
is it though???? once you add the video into the mix i think that tongue done slid out somewhere along the way

idk i liked that one in particular too much to give a fuck

this is really good
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 17 November 2014 12:51 (nine years ago) link
i'm into it. i think it's reasonably likely i'll end liking this album better than true romance despite initial appearances.
― dyl, Monday, 17 November 2014 13:48 (nine years ago) link
Immediately loving this more than the last two.

yah the buzzsaw guitars are dope & the hook really sticks
― give kawhi his damn eyedrops (slothroprhymes), Monday, 17 November 2014 15:27 (nine years ago) link
OK, I definitely like this the best of the post-True Romance material. Looking forward to the new record with a little less hesitation now.

it's a bit like sleigh bells with the noise taken out
― john wahey (NickB), Monday, 17 November 2014 15:57 (nine years ago) link
kind of a 'this is england' groove too
― john wahey (NickB), Monday, 17 November 2014 15:58 (nine years ago) link
can't get this one out of my head. verges on royals territory lyrically but much more complicit and ambiguous (imo)
my only criticism is that i'd love another verse up front, just hold back that glorious chorus a little bit
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 20 November 2014 14:16 (nine years ago) link
it's on spotify! never realised

did not watch the AMAs, because barf, but her performance was p good
― search datpiff, you'll find it (slothroprhymes), Monday, 24 November 2014 16:40 (nine years ago) link
*the clip of her performance
"break the rules" was good, "boom clap" was shit and you could tell even charli was passing time until she could get it done with
― katherine, Monday, 24 November 2014 16:42 (nine years ago) link
like, if you are performing "boom clap" it has to be BOOM! CLAP! and not "boom, clap, whatever, can I deploy the collapsible prom dress yet"
― katherine, Monday, 24 November 2014 16:45 (nine years ago) link
i def agree with that point haha

"breaking up" is out now as well - i'm really excited to hear this album
― uxorious gazumping (monotony), Monday, 24 November 2014 21:52 (nine years ago) link
so here for her nonchalant, letters to cleo phase
Bloom Clap is great you guys
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 24 November 2014 22:10 (nine years ago) link
maybe it was just an effect of hearing it through the computer speakers but it seemed like her vocals were mixed really high in Boom Clap. some singers would be "revealed" unflatteringly by that but not Charli.
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Monday, 24 November 2014 23:01 (nine years ago) link
Breaking Up strikes me as corny, but I'll probably like it later.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 24 November 2014 23:05 (nine years ago) link
love it. it IS a bit corny...but like, folks, were we expecting joni mitchell understatement here?
― hanley ramirez ordering a pizza (slothroprhymes), Monday, 24 November 2014 23:12 (nine years ago) link
Nah, I kinda know what her trip is these days, but even for Charli v3.0 it's kinda corny.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 24 November 2014 23:15 (nine years ago) link
Gold Coins!! Yes.

very joan jett. not a fan of the "off" chord changes in the chorus but the rest is pretty great.
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 14:09 (nine years ago) link
also very cristina/ze records! i wonder if charli's ever heard this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY9Fcln60Jw

Some of this album sounds like Transvision Vamp. Not saying that's good or bad. It just does.
― Re-Make/Re-Model, Tuesday, 25 November 2014 14:17 (nine years ago) link
i liked boom clap more upon realizing that it's like stay away brought out into the sunlight

I'm still not sure about "Breaking Up", I feel like I'm always behind with Charli XCX, like my favorite song is always two before the latest one. Right now "Break The Rules" is the one that does it for me.
