I'm not huge on Billie Eilish, tbh. She's clearly got talent, but the songs feel too...17, I guess.

I'm still absorbing the new CRJ.

 

[Teeeee]

I confess. I've fallen off the pop train, but I want back in. I do love that new Marina album.

You are back in without even needing to ask. I will have to listen to that Marina album.

Emily King anyone?

There are parts of songs that I just say "geeeeezzzzz" to myself because they are so good. And then she'll add some irrelevant lyric or sound effect and I say, "aha, there's the 17 year old influence." So, yeah, I get where you are coming from. I still think that it is an amazing album.

Well, Sharon van Etten finally got some real competition to claim the top spot on my AOTY list.

CRJ?????

CRJ?????

The Queen.

 

[David A.]

There's a new The National album out and I've been jumping between it and CRJ.

CRJ is operating on another level.

The Queen.

Queen. Slayer. Legend.

I have a hunch what @Teeeee's ROTM will be

 

[Mitchell?]

“He needs me” is a bop and a half. Love it.

 

[kvetcha]

I'm not sure if she'll ever top Cut to the Feeling.

 

[alspriet]

I listened again a few more times. I actually kind of like this. What is it you don't enjoy?

Probably because it feels like a more radio friendly version of a song that already existed and that I love very much



Hope she keeps as much of her experimental side for her next album

Truer words. Just wait until you see it live!

Yes, I said that to myself - this is her radio friendly song! So we def agree on that.

Girls Night Out is a great song! But that bass sometimes gets to me so much that I have to turn it off.

Of her last couple of songs No Angel is probably my favourite. She has a lot of great unreleased gems circling around on the Internet also

Anyone know when King Princess has an LP due? Make My Bed was one of my highlights last year.

i never listened to a full CRJ album

she just always seemed more singles focused at the time

Emotion is like 12 singles in a row

Yeah, EMOTION is one of the best pop albums in years.

I jumped aboard the CRJ train this year and it’s been one of the best musical decisions this year so far. Every song on Emotion pretty much nails it.

Also hello, thread.

 

[gaporter]

Adding to the heap of praise for CRJ. I only came around to her about a year after Emotion was released. My summer of 2017 basically lived off of Emotion Side B.

I was a bit worried going into this new album since Emotion is such a tough act to follow. But so far this year, her and Tyler are the only two albums I anticipated this year that have actually delivered and not been disappointing.
