09.0 out of 10

There’s no big releases at 5am, I doubt they’ll be much of a change at all tbh

yeah I'm not expecting any change :( lemme retain my naive hope though x

Track 09: MESS (HAPPY 4 U)

 

I really like the mellowed out verses they compliment the huge chorus very well! Gives me 'Your Love' with a more pure pop vibe, teas! Grower I think!

It's OK, but yeah, not sure it'll contend at any point to be a firm ballad fave.

Track 11: RENDEZVOUS

 

I feel like this could be better. In fact, it's just a weaker 'Motivate'! Like they made it less erratic. Could be a grower, but I'm not too sure.

Track 11: Rendezvous

 

it's fine, I probs won't go back to it much at all.

Liking elements of this, but I feel like there could be a bit more punch in the chorus. I find that a bit generic and kinda weak (which is disappointing seeing as the highlight for this album are the choruses!)

08.5 out of 10

Album reaction first listen: really strong on the whole, glad there's no duds here like there was on LM5. Maybe a tiny bit underwhelmed, think I was expecting one or two really instant songs and that didn't happen from the new tracks. Still such a good album & pretty sure this'll be one of my faves of the year overtime! <3

 

Faves:

1. Happiness

2. Break Up Song

3. Sweet Melody

 

Love:

4. Gloves Up (this is even better on 2nd listen, it would honestly be incredible with a final chorus aha, this is the song that I'd feel benefit most from being longer)

5. Holiday (this'll probs drop to 7th pretty quick but don't think it'll fall lower than that)

6. A Mess (Happy 4 U) (I actually feel this would benefit from a rent-a-rapper verse than whatever that bridge is, otherwise I love. the chorus esp is fab <3)

7. My Love Won't Let You Down

8. Not A Pop Song

 

Really Good:

9. If You Want My Love

10. Confetti

11. Breathe

 

Fine:

12. Nothing But My Feeling

13. Rendezvous

First listen through ranking and overall thoughts:

 

01. Happiness

I like the top 10 a lot/they have the most potential to grow, the bottom 3 I'm not really sure where they'll be after several listens, but I'm not feeling them too much on first listen.

 

As I've said before, this album really showcases their strength in the pop melodies and choruses! SO good. However, at least 70% of the tracks could've had an extra chorus or something... just so short :(

 

Loving this right now. I was a little nervous when people were saying the top half of the album is far superior (you're not wrong), but I think I was expecting the absolute worst for the 2nd half, when that wasn't the case.

The way I'm obsessed with Rendezvous but it's everyones least fave 💀. Think my other fave is A Mess.

I adore this album. The second half isn’t as filler as what some made it out to be. Gloves up and My Love won’t let you down are great! I love how the album finishes with breathe too.

 

Perrie’s vocals in ‘If you Want my Love’ are insane in parts.

 

Definitely up there with one of my fav albums.

I was just about to say something similar. Rendezvous was one of the songs that have stood out in my first listen of the songs we hadn’t heard yet it bops !

 

If there was ever a song title to describe my feelings towards u x

No joke... When the tracklist came out, I associated this song to you lmao! :')

 

:heart:

Aha! Sorryyyyyy. Maybe it'll grow on me, but I just think 'Motivate' succeeded at what this was trying to achieve. </3
