I like this more than anything from their first album.
Posted by: mr_aly 7th November 2014, 03:33 PM
Gosh, I love 'Supernatural' so much. 
Is anything gonna happen with it, or has it just fallen by the wayside already?
Posted by: Juan Carlos 15th January 2016, 08:52 PM
Their second album is due out this spring and the lead single, which is entitled "In Control" and it features Popcaan, will be released next Friday.
From http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/magazine-feature/6842832/alunageorge-you-know-you-like-It-success-new-music:
AlunaGeorge and Flume is happening!
However, as a side note, I don't like that part regarding George.
Posted by: lewistgreen 15th January 2016, 11:13 PM
OH. MY. GOD.
Been waiting nearly 3 years for this 
Body Music is one of my favourite albums ever and by the looks of things production-wise, the follow-up is going to be amazing too!
Cannot wait for this new single next week.

Why draw even more focus to Aluna, I don't really understand it. Hoping George doesn't mind too much in that case - a similar thing happened to La Roux by the sounds of it and now La Roux is just one person.
Posted by: mr_pmt 16th January 2016, 09:06 PM
Still gutting that 'Supernatural' did nothing, it will take a lot for this to beat it for me.
Posted by: Juan Carlos 19th January 2016, 05:57 PM
A snippet of "I'm In Control" was uploaded on their social media sites and you could listen to it https://twitter.com/alunageorge/status/689495175979241472.

"I'm In Control" will receive its WW premiere on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show tonight.

Hideous art.
Posted by: Juan Carlos 20th January 2016, 07:51 PM
As previously mentioned, the track received its WW premiere as the Hottest Record on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show today.

What an utter mess!
Posted by: burbe 21st January 2016, 09:49 PM
It's a mess, but I really like it! 
Posted by: Davidson 22nd January 2016, 12:47 AM
Undecided.
I really like what it's trying to do but I'm just not convinced it actually does it. It's certainly no 'Attracting Flies' is it.
Posted by: ░░░░ 22nd January 2016, 05:58 PM
this is f***ing incredible!
if released in summer it's easily be song of the summer
Posted by: JosephMendes 24th January 2016, 04:37 PM
I LOVE this. Way better than anything they've done before.
Posted by: Cassidy 24th January 2016, 04:43 PM
I've always found AlunaGeorge so intriguing. This is awesome.
Posted by: ♦ ketalina ♦ 24th January 2016, 05:00 PM
yeah this is brilliant!
Posted by: Cremey 24th January 2016, 05:11 PM
Apparently he's taking a more 'backseat role' from now on, so that makes sense really.
+ this is absolutely glorious. Popcaan <3
Posted by: Davidson 25th January 2016, 12:56 AM
completely come round to this, can't stop listening
Posted by: #psychic7 26th January 2016, 01:01 AM
A very fun single 
clearly taking plenty of cues from the sorta Major Lazer/Diplo/DJ Snake sound (which I was half-expecting after Snake's remix of You Know You Like It got big). It maybe doesn't reach the luscious heights of 'Your Drums, Your Love' or 'You Know You Like It' but nonetheless i'm excited to see what else they've got in store for this era!

Posted by: Juan Carlos 27th February 2016, 05:17 PM
http://www.universal-music.co.jp/alunageorge/products/uics-1308/ is reporting that I Remember will be out on April 29. Also, Aluna mentioned a month ago to Matt and Alex's triple j Breakfast show that the title track is their collaboration with Flume! (around the 1:53 min. mark).
Posted by: Juan Carlos 8th April 2016, 07:46 PM
The title track will be the Hottest Record on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show this Wednesday, so it's safe to say that this will be the next single.
Posted by: Steve201 8th April 2016, 08:47 PM
Looking forward to hearing this!!
Posted by: lewistgreen 10th April 2016, 08:09 PM
I hope we get some album details this week then! I've got Body Music on again now and it's still sublime nearly 3 years on 
Posted by: Steve201 10th April 2016, 08:48 PM
We should do with the second single being HR - prob either a July or Sept release!
Posted by: Davidson 11th April 2016, 09:17 PM
Really excited to hear what else they deliver this era as 'I'm In Control' is one of my songs of the year, can't get enough
Posted by: lewistgreen 13th April 2016, 08:41 PM
I Remember has premiered. Listen http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03qytlf.
Fabulous
Posted by: Juan Carlos 13th April 2016, 09:02 PM
It's amazing! 
Actually, AlunaGeorge performed it during SXSW and Ultra Music Festival and it's really good. I need it to be released ASAP and I think it may be this Friday or when https://twitter.com/alunageorge/status/719549448771268608 be unlocked.
As a side note, I really like the album's artwork.
Posted by: HarryEzra 13th April 2016, 09:19 PM
The track is wonderful...reminds me of Body Music a bit (the song)
Posted by: Davidson 13th April 2016, 09:46 PM
I love it so much
Can't see it having the hit potential that 'I'm In Control' has but a lovely track all the same. Sounds ready-made for remixes.
Posted by: Sonar 14th April 2016, 10:33 AM
Totally true! As I was listening I caught myself imagining it in dubstep or drum'n'bass version.
Posted by: Bjork 14th April 2016, 06:04 PM
so is the album still out in two weeks time (Apr 29)? in the interview with Annie Mac sounds like it's out later in the year but not now...
Posted by: mdh 14th April 2016, 06:08 PM
Ooh, this is quite good

amazing song
but wouldn't it have been better to wait a bit, I mean now that I'm In Control has been added to Capital
Posted by: Sonar 15th April 2016, 02:42 PM
Thanks!
Aluna is a sexy lounger
Posted by: danG 19th April 2016, 07:12 PM
AlunaGeorge are on fire this era!!
'I'm In Control' and 'I Remember' (and 'Automatic' with ZHU if that counts) are all great, wasn't expecting such consistency from them.
Posted by: danG 19th April 2016, 07:14 PM
but wouldn't it have been better to wait a bit, I mean now that I'm In Control has been added to Capital
'I Remember' doesn't exactly sound like a hit single, so I imagine it's just there for the radio 1 audience to help push the forthcoming album whilst 'I'm In Control' is still racking up sales/streams and commercial airplay.
Posted by: Davidson 19th April 2016, 08:00 PM
Yeah, I enjoyed bits and pieces of the first album but I feel like they have definitely upped the anti with this new era so far.
For some reason I didn't expect consistency.
Posted by: Kuki Sanban 21st April 2016, 12:59 AM
New song "My Blood" available on spotify!
Quite like it too
Posted by: HarryEzra 21st April 2016, 01:13 AM
Quite like it too
Omg I love it
Posted by: lewistgreen 21st April 2016, 07:35 AM
Ah so this is in the ZHU produced track!

'My Blood' is incredible.
Another 10/10 song 
Posted by: Jack 3rd May 2016, 06:39 PM
All three songs I have heard have been real moments for me, I really never expected to like them that much! 'Attracting Flies' wasn't even that great for me!
Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 17th May 2016, 04:21 AM
The title track has been playlisted by BBC Radio 1.
As a side note, looks like the album is coming out on September 9 according to http://playiga.com/track/alunageorge-fpopcaan-im-in-control/, which is in charge of the radio promotion from AlunaGeorge in the US, as a part of Interscope.
Posted by: Davidson 17th May 2016, 10:13 PM
Shame the release date is so far away now but judging by the quality of what we have had so far, it will worth the wait.
Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 9th July 2016, 06:04 AM
A new track will be premiered as the Hottest Record on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show this Tuesday.

Posted by: Davidson 12th July 2016, 11:40 PM
Is this album going to include any bad tracks?
I am absolutely adoring this again. The rap is incredible and that chorus is so catchy.
Sounds like it has potentially even more hit potential than 'I'm In Control'?
Posted by: Steve201 13th July 2016, 01:21 AM
As the albums lead single I hope it does better commercially than the previous two!
Posted by: Cremey 13th July 2016, 07:03 AM
Absolutely love this. Cannot WAIT for this album, shaping up to be one of the albums of the year.

Another great single, definitely shaping up to be a VVV good album.
Posted by: Davidson 17th July 2016, 04:56 PM
So 'Mean What I Mean' might be over-taking 'I'm In Control' in my affections now which is crazy considering the latter is one of my favourite songs of the year.
Both will stay in my top 10 year end list for certain though. Crazy quality, especially given I was never really here for Aluna much before this era started. I am so willing MWIM to become a smash, it really gives me 'Sorry' by JB vibes. Both the female raps are brilliant also, especially the first of the two.

Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 17th July 2016, 11:27 PM
I hope there will be a deluxe version of the album and if this indeed happens, it will include "Supernatural" to be honest. Sad to see that it didn't make the cut, although I was sort of expecting that. 
Posted by: lewistgreen 26th July 2016, 07:45 PM

Posted by: mr_pmt 29th July 2016, 11:54 AM
I like 'Mean What I Mean' more than anything else I've heard from this era so far!
Posted by: SevenSeize 29th July 2016, 12:25 PM
Indeed, i'm also loving Mean What I Mean
Posted by: Steve201 29th July 2016, 01:20 PM
I like it but it does sound like the same riff as I'm In Control!
Posted by: Jake 30th July 2016, 07:28 AM
they have a similar something I agree but ultimately it's an incredibly idisyncratic pop songs with SO many good moments, both raps are pithy as f***, excellent pre-chorus, middle 8 etc...it all fits together so susinctly.
oh and that breakdown; one of the songs of summer
Posted by: JosephStyles 7th August 2016, 02:45 PM
Really can't get enough of Mean What I Mean right now! This and I'm In Control are by far the best things I've heard from them.
Posted by: lewistgreen 1st September 2016, 11:29 PM
Mediator is out today. Been loving since the Glastonbury performance!
Posted by: Davidson 6th September 2016, 02:58 PM
'Mediator' is the only track so far I'm not completely in love with, but then again you can't have a full album of 10/10's can you??
10.0 I'm In Control
09.0 I Remember
10.0 My Blood
11.0 Mean What I Mean
07.5 Mediator
'Mediator' still has a nice vibe though and definitely feels album track worthy. Still shaping up to be one of AOTY.
Posted by: jakewild 6th September 2016, 03:00 PM
the songs this era are just unbelievable
i mean what I mean is a solid 11/10
Posted by: Cassidy 7th September 2016, 07:56 PM
I'm totally ready for this.
Posted by: jakewild 13th September 2016, 10:39 AM
not above love is 💯
they're doing EVERYTHING right this era mygod
Posted by: Davidson 13th September 2016, 12:50 PM
OMG at 'Not Above Love'
Absolutely massive again, she keeps on doing it.
Posted by: blacksquare 15th September 2016, 12:03 PM
Full Swing

Posted by: lewistgreen 15th September 2016, 07:19 PM
Fantastic album on first listen! Jealous is stunning.
Posted by: Cremey 15th September 2016, 09:46 PM
Need to give the full album a listen but oh my LORD 'Full Swing'. What an opener.
Posted by: Jake 16th September 2016, 01:53 AM
'mean what i mean' is top 5 year material, beyond incredible...going to listen to album later, so f***ing excited cheers
Posted by: Doctor Blind 17th September 2016, 10:12 AM
Album is very good on first listen!
Absolutely, hopefully the next single.
Posted by: Cremey 17th September 2016, 11:52 AM
Can't get over how good this album is. I'd loved everything I'd heard from it, but I really wasn't expecting the whole thing to be so strong.
Not sure I could rate it just yet because it would probably be 10s throughout...but definitely one of the albums of the year (in what's proving to be an incredibly strong year for albums).
Absolutely loving the 'Breathe'-esque production on 'Not Above Love'
Posted by: JosephStyles 17th September 2016, 05:24 PM
Went and bought this today, I wasn't keen on the debut album but I'm In Control and Mean What I Mean got me hyped for this one, and it really delivers, such an improvement album-to-album
Posted by: jakewild 18th September 2016, 10:11 AM
i'm so excited to sit down and listen to this. i've heard nothing but good and all the songs so far have been 11s
Posted by: Jake 19th September 2016, 09:44 AM
'jealous' ��
Posted by: JosephStyles 19th September 2016, 01:39 PM
Not Above Love, Hold Your Head High and Jealous are my favourites beyond the singles I think so so good. Although speaking of singles, I Remember the song still isn't really clicking, possibly my least favourite on the album?
Posted by: Froot. 19th September 2016, 01:53 PM
I never listened to 'Body Music' because I was only really keen on 'Attracting Flies' and the fact that they re-released 'You Know You Like It' again didn't give me much hope that the album would be good. I've just listened to this album though, based upon how much I love 'I'm in Control' & 'Mean What I Mean' and the great reviews in here, and I very much enjoyed it. It's a great album on first listen and I agree with Joseph's highlights! I'm still not really getting into 'I Remember' or, particularly 'My Blood' though.
Posted by: Davidson 19th September 2016, 04:19 PM
'My Blood' is incredible
So up my street so shame you've not managed to find love for it
Posted by: Sonar 19th September 2016, 05:16 PM
My top three for now: I Remember Not Above Love In My Head
Pretty good, though Wanderlust feels like a week closure.
Posted by: blacksquare 19th September 2016, 06:07 PM
52 in the midweeks?
Jesus.
Such a great pop album.
Posted by: Doctor Blind 19th September 2016, 08:52 PM
“I Remember” is a summer BANGER, easily the best song on the album. It's like a cross between Purity Ring and Deadmau5, amazing!
Posted by: Cremey 19th September 2016, 09:03 PM
Hope something helps the album pick up later, would be a travesty for it to go by largely unnoticed. One of the albums of the year and so current in sound, could easily see the majority of the songs here being massive hits.
I was going to attempt a rate again but I ended up with an 11, six 10s and only one below a 9...think I'll leave it for a bit :')
'Heartbreak Horizon' is the only one I'm not completely adoring right now but even that I'd probably give at least a 7.5 haha. Plus some of the production on that 👌🏼
Posted by: Steve201 19th September 2016, 10:35 PM
Can't believe this isn't even top 40 in the albums!
Posted by: dhwe 20th September 2016, 02:25 AM
"i remember" is gorgeous though, i don't think it's a capital-B Banger like the other singles but it's emotive and flume's production suits the wistfulness of the lyrics + aluna's vocals so beautifully.
Posted by: dandy* 20th September 2016, 06:25 PM
Great album - different to a lot of things that I would normally listen to but it certainly seems consistent after a couple of listens. Mean What I Mean is great!
Posted by: mr_pmt 20th September 2016, 06:40 PM
I had a listen, 'In My Head' sounds like the best album track to me.
Posted by: Doctor Blind 20th September 2016, 07:37 PM
Maybe not a capital-B Banger, but it does make me swoon and feel nostalgic like a AltoCu Floccus sunrise/sunset.
Down to 59 in the midweeks today. *Cries*
Posted by: JosephStyles 20th September 2016, 07:42 PM
I love how this album seems to be appealing to loads of us with different tastes - it's not very often I seem to have something in common with you Doctor Blind! #59 is absolutely criminal
Posted by: lewistgreen 20th September 2016, 07:49 PM
Atrocious chart position for such a stunning album! Body Music managed to hit #11!
Posted by: lewistgreen 24th September 2016, 07:29 AM

Posted by: danG 6th October 2016, 11:10 AM

I really need to listen to the whole album to be honest
Posted by: Sugarplumberella 19th December 2016, 12:57 AM
can i just chime in and say that i think i'm gonna download this album after being exposed to 'full swing' - jesus buggery bollocks it is so good!!!!!!
