I like Candles in the Sun but it doesn't feel like a good album closer. I didn't actually realise it was the album closer until I got the vinyl. All works way better.

I love the Art Dealer Chic "Candles," mostly only enjoy the album version as a reminder of it
― some dude, Thursday, 18 June 2015 00:56 (eight years ago) link
yeah the album version of "candles in the sun" is a throwaway

Hi just popping in here to note I'm currently watching an S&M-themed striptease to "Teach Me"
― The Reverend, Thursday, 18 June 2015 03:40 (eight years ago) link
havent heard this yet because 4ever unsullied obv but it already seems clear to me that j0rd's take repeats his earlier privileging of the idea of effervescence as not something subjectively preferential but essential to migs persona heretofore, and worse tries to grace the point by disingenously equating that efferv (i cannot write this word out again sorry) with r&b as a whole, vs a deeper/heavier/scuzzier/other-er rock. i don't agree with this reading, it just seems cosmetic. u wouldnt hear it for maxwell or d'angelo

i seem not to have posted itt after his show last week, it was fucking amazing and he sang "no type" and he plays archetypes so well and with just the right amount of self-awareness and the combination of his highest sweetest falsetto and dirty grimy guitar is something i could listen to forever and "leaves", with the guitar turned up, made me think of "summer of 69", which it hasn't on record

i think of WILDHEART as caressing your bae in the backseat of an old convertible while gazing at the stars after aimlessly driving around LA; also psychedelic drugs are involved

Most of these singles on Spotify would benefit from a verse by Pitbull.
