It's an album of sweet songs but it's not really what I wanted from her or come to her music for. Good on her for experimenting though.

 

This

"Patricia" is a decent choice, I think I prefer it to "Hunger". I've actually really grown to like "Big God" right now, the best of this era for me at the moment.

experimenting? think there's zero experimenting in this album, wish she did that, collaborate with lots of new people and push herself and try new things, in this album she's gone bare and simple but not experimental

No I don’t want collaborations thsnk you, leave everyone else to collaborate with every man and his Khalid and Anne-Marie.

 

Plus, her collaboration with Lady Gaga clearly influenced her to create her Joanne :(

been listening to the album a lot and the best song by far is The End of Love, surprised they're not pushing it as single

Patricia is nice but no single material

in perspective it's by far her worst album with only The End of Love being amazing and a couple songs being great, rest just ok

Tori Amos cover <3

not sure if thats a single but it's the best she's done in a while

 

I can't get on board with that at all - the original is too perfect for me to be messed with

I much prefer that to her 'You Got The Love' brutalisation, it does kind of sound like she's mimicking Tori though.

Wasn't a huge fan of this cover either! She really screeches through it. I was fine with it until my Mum pointed it out at the time. I'm okay hearing it now though and the instrumental is ace.

 

Need to start giving "Patricia" some listens... "Big God" has been my favourite so far this era.

This is the best she has done in a loong while.

 

That is saying a lot :(

apparently this Cornflake Girl cover is from some Spotify live sessions, wish she did the studio version too

of course it's not as good as the Tori original but it's nice to see modern bands giving T a nod ;)

 

I listened to High As Hope again today and while it’s not my fave album of hers I liked it more today than the first time I heard it. Hope the album can return to top 40 at some point.

:wub:

 

Weird comparison but partly reminds me of Didos album Safe Trip Home in the minimal feel throughout. Think it’s am album suited for a particular mood and when you’re in that mood it’ll sound glorious.

Why she released it against corporate puppet Drake I do not know

well, the label planned the release and announced it, and then at last minute Drake announced his album for the same date, guess it was too late to change things

I can't stand that twatbag. He RUINS music, has people in strict camps to make his shite music, they can't LEAVE THE STUDIO AND HAVE TO CAMP OUT TILL IT'S DONE as he stands and watches eating expensive food, and ruins the charts.

 

Poor Florence :(

Thing is back innthe day (when Drake was good) him & Florence performed at his debut LDN show & it was magical.
