Pretty cool. It doesn't hit me instantly as hard as "good for you" but many hooks. The "hihihihiiiiiiihi" are fun !

wow, that's a long wiki entry for such a recent and not that successful song !
― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, September 11, 2015 1:52 AM (3 weeks ago)
virtually all recent songs by pop artists with rabid fanbases (including random album tracks that i guess are "notable" b/c they were mentioned in two album reviews or something) have unbelievably long and overly detailed wiki entries
meanwhile ~90% of wiki entries for pre-wikipedia era songs are just "(song) is a song released by (artist) in (year). It reached #(position) on the charts. The End."

I've only listened to a few tracks and have no particular thoughts yet but I've noticed I really like her speaking voice.I didn't know or cared much about her before "good for you" so I had never heard her talk.She has a great low register voice when she speaks (which makes a big contrast with her looks).I'm not sure she's a good singer but there are moments when her voice is great.

Heard part of the album while getting coffee this morning. Not bad.

"Me and the Rhythm" is good. "Same Old Love" is garbage.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 11 October 2015 18:40 (eight years ago) link
wow title track is lovely, her voice sounds incredible
― surm, Sunday, 11 October 2015 21:06 (eight years ago) link
loving the album, same old love included. hearing 'the dreaming' synths and more police revivalism

me and the rhythm is a little taylor for me

i'm also getting some (forgive me, but) Gloria Estefan vibes like on body heat

Some nice tracks but I would have been much happier with only slow, intimate tracks like "good for you" instead of the big pop/rnb songs with big production and hooks. AlsoI don't really like her generic diva voice.For instance I find the second time she sings the word "revival" fantastic. More of that !
― AlXTC from Paris, Monday, 12 October 2015 13:21 (eight years ago) link
if anything, "me & the rhythm" reminds me most of CRJ's "warm blood"

definitely an album to cherrypick from though
um can we please talk about "hands to myself"

yeah i think i might too even though i've only just heard it yesterday via the EOY spotify playlist. it's really great! love her vocals on it.
― Roz, Saturday, 9 January 2016 03:16 (eight years ago) link
i'm surprised that there isn't more love for "same old love"

"hands to myself" reminds me of a robyn album track, in fact if robyn had released it i'm sure the music blog ppl would be freaking out
great radio single in any case

"hands to myself" is amazing and incidentally sounds amazing on the radio
especially since it is often bookended by garbage so it feels like you've been suddenly vacuumed into this pocket of goodness
