"Me and the Rhythm" is good. "Same Old Love" is garbage.

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
― surm, Sunday, 11 October 2015 21:15 (eight years ago) link
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 !

if anything, "me & the rhythm" reminds me most of CRJ's "warm blood"

"hands to myself" is really great
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 13 October 2015 12:52 (eight years ago) link
i mean i could but why would i want to <3
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 13 October 2015 12:54 (eight years ago) link
definitely an album to cherrypick from though
um can we please talk about "hands to myself"
― j. winters (josh), Thursday, 10 December 2015 08:54 (eight years ago) link
yes
― surm, Monday, 28 December 2015 00:29 (eight years ago) link

def voting for "hands to myself" in the tracks poll
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Saturday, 9 January 2016 01:59 (eight years ago) link
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"
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Saturday, 9 January 2016 12:04 (eight years ago) link
that song sucks
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Saturday, 9 January 2016 15:15 (eight years ago) link
"same old love" is great
― bla.p, Saturday, 9 January 2016 17:04 (eight years ago) link
alb is <3
― bla.p, Saturday, 9 January 2016 17:06 (eight years ago) link
i actually like "same old love", much better than "good for you"
― dyl, Saturday, 9 January 2016 17:19 (eight years ago) link
down with all 3

my gf heard this on the car radio and she goes, "who's this? she seems... damaged..."

aww yeah the women are opinionated about it, understandably so, and sometimes empathetic, it seems
― surm, Saturday, 9 January 2016 20:12 (eight years ago) link
"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
― dyl, Monday, 1 February 2016 16:30 (eight years ago) link
yeah. i heard same old love at my hair place the other day, also sounded v good on radio

Me & The Rhythm > Good For You > Same Old Love > Hands To Myself
― daavid, Friday, 1 April 2016 19:16 (eight years ago) link
...maybe
― daavid, Friday, 1 April 2016 19:17 (eight years ago) link
no
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Friday, 1 April 2016 19:45 (eight years ago) link
"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
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Friday, 1 April 2016 19:47 (eight years ago) link
^that truly is the secret of radio success
― dc, Friday, 1 April 2016 19:47 (eight years ago) link
haha yeah it's a big grower for sure

Selena really is our new Britney, Justin drama and all
― surm, Saturday, 9 April 2016 15:33 (eight years ago) link
This new Selena track takes the "Psycho Killer" and makes something really enjoyable out of it. I didn't think Selena would be the coolest Pop Star around, but maybe she is?
― brontosaur, Thursday, 18 May 2017 17:51 (seven years ago) link
"Psycho Killer" bassline... sigh.
― brontosaur, Thursday, 18 May 2017 18:14 (seven years ago) link
Unimpressed ...too acoustic for my liking. Also, it just made me want to listen to "Psycho Killer". Maybe they should have sampled the guitar as well?
― daavid, Thursday, 18 May 2017 20:20 (seven years ago) link
selena gomez was secretly the coolest popstar around back when she was doing "naturally" and "love you like a love song" and has generally regressed since then
i have mixed thoughts on this, it has a good song but there are some real lyrical duds in there, i felt secondhand embarrassment at the battle of troy line. not bad tho!
― dyl, Thursday, 18 May 2017 20:31 (seven years ago) link
it is at least unique enough to stand out when compared to the typical output of the top 40 sphere at the moment
― dyl, Thursday, 18 May 2017 20:32 (seven years ago) link
this is def the kinda song where a strong music video could get me to like it but i don't think major labels are particularly invested in creating those these days
― dyl, Thursday, 18 May 2017 20:39 (seven years ago) link
the battle of troy line is still a step up from "metaphorical Gin and Juice"
― brontosaur, Thursday, 18 May 2017 20:42 (seven years ago) link
in general it seems like the kind of song that only gets better on multiple listens. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a "Work" level hit, but I don't expect it to happen
― brontosaur, Thursday, 18 May 2017 20:43 (seven years ago) link
yeah definitely
"work" wasn't instant for me either!
― dyl, Thursday, 18 May 2017 20:46 (seven years ago) link
I love it. It's fresh.

perfect summer mornings track. it works for me.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 18 May 2017 22:05 (seven years ago) link
yeah battle of troy line is lol but I really like the song, her delivery is great
― bunny slopes, Friday, 19 May 2017 07:49 (seven years ago) link
this is great. it's so nice to hear a new pop song with this sort of light touch. a little space, a little simplicity! thank you!
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 19 May 2017 10:19 (seven years ago) link
I really like the song...and her performance too.#selenagomez #BadLiar #psychokiller— DavidByrne.com (@DBtodomundo) May 18, 2017
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 19 May 2017 10:20 (seven years ago) link
yeah it's nice and will probably grow with more plays but I don't think it has a smash hit potential.Somehow, it reminds me of Britney's "Piece of me".and, yeah, her delivery is great.
