i love this version, they've made all the synths and beats even punchier and crispier and it just sounds so fresh!

i like most of what i've heard but this slow release of songs for months in advance of an album just means that when it comes out we'll have already heard most of it. it just makes the actual release a bit irrelevant.

wow the guetta rack is fucking terrible. really amazed they went with this vocal take it's utterly ghastly. honestly sounds like a joke; legit like someone taking the piss out of hackneyed female vocal clichées. also, it's nothing like lean on...????

she called his parents dirty refugees too. i mean they were both born in england (and his mum is white) not that that really matters as it just says a whole lot about how she views refugees and therefore some of the most vulnerable people on the earth. horrible.

don't get me wrong they are still always good performances, there's just often something sterile and awkward about these studios

they're amazing live in a proper concert setting with a big sound system but i dunno if it works as well in a tame toned-down tv studio setting. reminds me of how björk live shows are absolutely trippy and huge sounding but her tv appearances (except for jools holland!) never quite seem to have that same energy. there's never any bass on these shows for starters.

wow, i thought being in a band was primarily about music first and foremost. if they feel the need to pull all the stunts listed above - especially the latest one!! - then it doesn't fill me with confidence about their actual songs and no i am not gonna bother checking them out any time soon... trash

the dancing segment at the end literally looks like a steps video circa 1997, the colour scheme, the dancing, the outfits, everything....

if you've already paid that much for the special edition they won't mind if you download the digital version illegally.

so the alphabetical track list was intentional, i actually love that idea. i used to that for mix tapes and it would usually work out really well :)

oh wait, it's cos i'm in britain

in the time it took me to sign up to google play the album has vanished, was this a mistake? the alphabetical track list suggests so...

also do i detect e*mo*tion vibes in this one? not saying in a rip-off way, just that this track wouldn't sound out of place on CRJ's album

the worst thing about this is all the small minded ableist people on his instagram defending him

omg yes! like, even if the guy wasn't autistic and was actually stoned on the job, harassing him by making a selfie video of him is not an appropriate course of action. just move on with your day fiddy... asshole

dreadful ignorant behaviour, how old is he? legit he is behaving like a snide 14 year old bully at school. what an asshole.

i completely get that she isn't doing it to sell records etc, i know that she is a political artist and i love her for that but i'm just not sure this was entirely successful in its execution. she has a lot more agency as an artist than a girl who lost her family to a drone strike, which is the perspective she says the song is from, so i feel she could have addressed such an issue with a bit more nuance. that's the problem with juxtaposition as shock tactic, it can be a bit icky.

great track sonically but feeling very uncomfortable about the use of drone victim suffering-as-lyrical-refrain thing. a bit too madonna-provocative, not enough m.i.a.-provocative...

great read, and ultimately pretty depressing to get a glimpse at just how cynical and meaningless the industry can get.

a white band called savages? wtf? i'm sorry that's fucking awful

omg he's so awful. look how pleased he is with his contrived and obviously forced attempt at 'throwing shade', ugh. he should stick to making lite pop, no one cares what he has to say in interviews. oh and he looks like a thumb with a haircut.

wow this is gorgeous! even if it's a bit off-beat for the usual bond fare i can't believe it got turned down in favour of sam smith. well, i can, obviously, but still... also, still waiting for björk to do a bond theme too. maybe if she hadn't already recorded 3 amazing bond-esque songs in the first place... (play dead, bachelorette and wanderlust)
