June 10, 20214 yr Omg I worked an extra 30 mins today so only just finished and missed it, noooo! I've read that apparently Phoebe Bridgers and Clairo have backing vocals and it sounds reminiscent of 'Mariners Apartment Complex' and 'Freedom '90' in places :o
June 10, 20214 yr Thank you dbree, Miss Lorde is missing out on my spotify streams now x I’m rly liking this!
June 10, 20214 yr Omg I worked an extra 30 mins today so only just finished and missed it, noooo! I've read that apparently Phoebe Bridgers and Clairo have backing vocals and it sounds reminiscent of 'Mariners Apartment Complex' and 'Freedom '90' in places :o They do have backing vocals and the last minute is SO freedom!
June 10, 20214 yr OMG Phoebe and Claire and backing vocals!!!!!!!!! how do they even all know each other :D
June 10, 20214 yr Okay seems like spotify was the only streaming platform to not upload it at all so I’m less mad now! (Tho I could’ve bought it on iTunes if I was around 😂😂)
June 10, 20214 yr finally listening! this is 100% a combo of Faith + Freedom, it's like a George Michael tribute song almost the first part is identical to Faith... and then the chorus in the end is identical to Freedom
June 10, 20214 yr To me it kinda feels like if Taylor did a summery album before or after Folklore's autumn vibes? :lol: I love it, it's better than I expected from knowing it was going to be 70s psychedelic vibes tbh.
June 10, 20214 yr It leaked sis It was released accidentally to streaming services — and then deleted within a few minutes. Fortunately managed to download it on Apple Music before it was removed! Confused by the leaker saying it sounded like The Beatles/Beach Boys when it's more like a lost collaboration between All Saints and George Michael. This is going to be the perfect summer soundtrack, and that final minute...
June 10, 20214 yr I love it :dance: I wasn’t expecting a Green Light and I’m glad, this is going to be a really good summer song.
June 10, 20214 yr Her newsletter: You ready? There’s someone I want you to meet. Her feet are bare at all times. She’s sexy, playful, feral, and free. She’s a modern girl in a deadstock bikini, in touch with her past and her future, vibrating at the highest level when summer comes around. Her skin is glowing, her lovers are many. I’m completely obsessed with her, and soon you will be too. It’s my divine pleasure to be introducing you, at long last, to my third studio album, SOLAR POWER. The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalising the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors. In times of heartache, grief, deep love, or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learnt to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through. The first song, also called SOLAR POWER and written and produced by myself and Jack, is the first of the rays. It’s about that infectious, flirtatious summer energy that takes hold of us all, come June (or December, if you’re a Southern Hemisphere baby like me but I know that’s literally IMPOSSIBLE for you all to wrap your little heads around so don’t worry about it!!). I made everything with friends here in New Zealand. My best mate Ophelia took the cover photo, lying on the sand as I leapt over her, both of us laughing. The director who made my first ever music video, Joel, helped me create the videos, building an entire cinematic universe that I can’t wait for you to see. I made something that encapsulates where I’m from — my family, my girlfriends, my outdoors, my constant ruminations, and my unending search for the divine. There’s SO much more detail to come — a truly comical amount of detail, honestly. You can look to the natural calendar for clues. I’m trying to listen to what’s out there more, and the vibe I got was that you’re ready for this, that you need it. I want this album to be your summer companion, the one you pump on the drive to the beach. The one that lingers on your skin like a tan as the months get cooler again. Today’s the only solar eclipse of the year, did you know that? Feels right. LOVE YOU LOVE YOU LET’S GO SOLAR POWER TODAY — TOMORROW — FOREVER ELLA XX
June 10, 20214 yr I feel like I completely understand what it was trying to be, but it ultimately falls short and nearly isn’t as anthemic at the end as it thinks it is. This is a miss for me.
