Talking about knowing what cover to pick. It's like this song was written for her.

Apart from Somebody Loves You, which will probably always always be the best BW song, my other favorite is Lovin' Start which was left off the standard version of the album (and added on to the deluxe version). Gentle and dreamy in all the best ways.

Hey thats good.
I like Missing You off the the debut

i kinda forgot this album existed until recently when i heard "Heartbreak Dream" in the closing credits of Pitch Perfect 2, that's a really good song.

oh yeah that ones great
― Spottie, Friday, 3 June 2016 20:44 (seven years ago) link
This cover is fine, but I never thought the original was all that. Like, every song on Take Me When You Go (as perfect a pop album as any that has been released this decade) is better than it.

I've always liked the original, but the production on the BW version is fuller and sweepier in just the right amount.

This is coming Friday. It's probably a single and not an album, but who knows...Also, DAYUM.

ugh

honestly i got a little worried by that promo image
― maura, Friday, 11 November 2016 23:22 (seven years ago) link
Acoustic version is nice. Promo image was alarming.

her second single (on spotify) is also bad, worse than "human touch" i would venture. oh well we'll always have "somebody loves you" i guess
― monotony, Friday, 3 February 2017 00:05 (seven years ago) link
might be ok but there's what feels like an interpolation of the chorus melody from fergie's "london bridge" that keeps popping up and ruining everything
― monotony, Friday, 3 February 2017 00:06 (seven years ago) link
she's been charli xcx'd :(
― maura, Friday, 3 February 2017 01:08 (seven years ago) link
My life would probably be better if I don't listen, but I'm going to anyway...
Okay, so, at its core, I don't find this as offensively bad as Human Touch was, but my god there are so many things going on over the top of it that it's just a car crash. Also, when it comes to melody writing, she's got a very tiny bag of tricks. This doesn't just sound like other people's songs. It sounds like other (better) Betty Who songs.

She really had something going for a while.... but so much for that

Finally, one of these new songs isn't trash.

What song are those "Whoaaahs" reminding me of?
― MarkoP, Friday, 3 March 2017 16:51 (seven years ago) link
Figured it out. It was Treasure by Bruno Mars.

Oh, good call.

album is not as horrible as singles implied

Has the label contacted you about making that a sticker quote yet?

lol

It's not, but it's in the same zip code.

Pretty bad.

Loved Human Touch, surprised by frosty reception above

Based on the timestamp of my most recent post in this thread, I haven't listened to this shitpile since March 30th.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 03:03 (six years ago) link
lol. maybe try again?
― Spottie, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 03:11 (six years ago) link
I hit play on the You Can Cry Tomorrow video upthread because I mentioned it wasn't bad.
Objectively, it may not be, but I think I'm only madder now at how she's squandered the best qualities from her initial blast of songs.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 03:14 (six years ago) link
(fwiw my praise for her first LP was rather muted as well, even though I started the thread)
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 03:15 (six years ago) link
The EP she put out recently (she's back to being independent) has a few gems: "Ignore Me" and "Just Thought You Should Know" particularly.
― monotony, Thursday, 28 June 2018 05:03 (five years ago) link
new album is pretty good! kind of patchy in the middle but "just thought you should know" is the best song she's ever done imo
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Thursday, 21 February 2019 17:59 (five years ago) link
Solid album, nothing to dislike, but equally I can't get that excited about much of it. I picked out "Old Me" and "All This Woman" in addition to "Just Thought…".

I saw her a week ago playing a private event at a hotel in Boston with less than fifty people. I thought she was great, but I was pretty drunk. Closed with Somebody Loves You.
