as someone who would say the meadowlands is a top 5 album of all time.... and i also loved secaucus and the other releases, and i've corresponded sporadically / minimally with charles over the years about how meaningful the band has been for me over time (and bless him for being so responsive!)..
this whole thing is incredibly sad!!
but also this Aeon Station single release seems very empty to me. after a few listens, i wish this would be grabbing me in some way but it isn't at all.
i really wish everyone the best, and of course ultimately i'd love for there to be a proper release with the full band that we've all been waiting on.... idk
ok well
1st) charli is the best! and basically doing everything right including this track, imo
2.) i have been really looking forward to hearing more of what the stargate recordings produced and this doesn't disappoint --- i was really excited about after the after party and sad when that didn't produce an album, but number #1 angel and pop 2 happened and those are both all time classics afaic so no harm there!
3.) i love track 10 as did we all but this shit does slap! the p4k review was overly harsh about the drop being 4 years ago or whatever the fuck, this is still very pop zeitgeist IMHO!
#queencharli the best
very much yes on 2)
it's exactly like 'can't stop the feeling' except boring and lame and probably harder to dance to... i don't want to be at a wedding where this is played.
i have loved imogean heap's 'goodnight and go' for so many years at this point. when i saw the tracklist for sweetener containing 'goodnite n go' i was like no fucking way that is what i think it is. but then it WAS, and so much more.
really loving this album front to back (despite the confounding choice of that vocal sample on the light is coming playing endlessly forever but i still love that song.)
i expect the downvotes and i'm not trying to troll but i found that SZA album to be super boring. no disrespect!
i hope Tinashe is able to really do it this year.
