Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 3 - September 2019 /// Nicole Atkins - Goodnight, Rhonda Lee

[Teeeee]

Question: Is Tori Amos considered pop enough for this guess thread? Or is that too orchestral/classical, etc? @Teeeee

Who said it WAS pop?

 

[gaporter]

Ok I’m guessing Yola - Walk Through Fire. She did meet Beyoncé but I can’t find any evidence of them singing together.

Yeah, born in the UK. Ruled out. Dang it.

Even though it's ruled out, Walk Through Fire is another album people should check out. It's definitely one of my favorites of 2019

THIS ALBUM IS AMAZING!!! I love it so much. Even if it isn't this month's pick, @EVERYONE should check it out.

Lol you beat me to it. I need to learn to stop posting without refreshing first.

2. (Unofficial hint) NOT one of Teeee's top 5 pop albums of the decade:

I'll play this month cause it's going to be pop.
So my guess is: Natalie Imbruglia - Left Of The Middle.
Criminally underrated singer, criminally underrated album.

Who said it WAS pop?

Them!!!^^^ They are the culprits!!! They alluded to it!!!

This just got even more exciting !

 

[Joe Mac]

Hmm so got my next guess I’m going for...

Kelis - Tasty

Yep, everyone in here assuming it's pop. Because I do love pop. But did I ever say it is pop? Or it isn't pop?

What if it is soda????

Which we call fizzy pop so

 

[Teeeee]

Which we call fizzy pop so

Some people call it coke, even if it isn't a coke product.

People be crazy.

He can have a sleep over in our imaginary sitcom house.




He’s staying in your room, not mine.

 

[Murfocakes]

These album suggestions are all so good.





Lovely Pop.

Kelis - Tasty

Actually disappointed in how limited availability this album seems to be.

The Nas n 3 stacks features are so great. Then there is that one song that's pretty catchy!

 

[Murfocakes]

Laura Brannigan is a good suggestion: those two singles are awesome. Self Control with it’s creepy video and 80s slink might even pip the Disco 2000 inspiring Gloria in my book.



She was a fine looking woman too. Or are you not allowed to say that nowadays

I’m locking my bedroom door anyway.

I saw Robyn and Kelis co-headline a show here in DC. It was ah-fucking-mazing.

For real tho people: do yourselves a favor and pick up a copy of Emotion. Even though it isn't @Teeeee 's pick, it still should be required listening.

For me, the second track on that album, which is titled ‘Emotion’, is one of my favourite tracks of the decade for me! I love how Carly Rae Jepsen sounds so sugary, teenage sweet on the track but lyrically is taunting and teasing her ex, making it seem like him being without her anymore is going to eat him alive!

The production is crisp and tight with its drums but has a glossy, spacey and quirky feel with its synths and bass. It’s very old-school but feels updated! It’s like an 80’s pop classic tune that’s been very well preserved!

I love the build up to the explosive chorus, Carly Rae Jepsen’s lightweight, carefree vocals and the feel good energy of the track.

Emotion really is one of my favourite tracks of the decade. There’s something so timeless and addictive and badass and cute about the track! I love the song to bits!
