First time I've heard 'Denial Is A River' and it's SOOOOO good! I really need to pay attention to Doechii more. :wub:

Glad the oldies are taking some tumbles. Hopefully won't be many of them left soon!

From pop perfection to this absolute benign shite

I'll keep defending this song but I will NOT defend playing it every week when he already has 2 songs in the top ten :arrr:

Ew ew ew I despise this

Lose control should got replace new song just another official chart joke

actually his label have been very silly

the new one was doing enough to chart so they could have asked for this one to be removed

I used to love Lose Control.

Then I liked it

Then I tolerated it

Now I just wish it would GO!!

Wonder what will happen if TikTok actually gets banned in the States. Might be easier for British talent to get hits!

Radio actually made lose control unbearable they just keep it playing it

Biography

 

In an interview with Apple Music, Kendrick Lamar reflected on his 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly—in particular, the song “Alright.” It wasn’t that it sold well (it did). It wasn’t that it won awards (it did). It wasn’t even that it broke new ground for where hip-hop might go. For Lamar, the success was that people sang it in the streets. “A lot of people don’t have voices out there,” he said. “So to see them actually express themselves through song, through lyrics that I wrote?” For a kid from Compton whose life was transformed by hip-hop, the fame was nice, but the singing, the spirit, the possibility that his music was opening a cultural inroad for people joining the fight for civil rights—that was real. He might’ve been writing alone. But he was speaking for many. Born in 1987, Lamar grew up under the influence of JAY-Z, Eminem, and 2pac—for the wordplay, for the imagination, for the heart and sense of community. Given its popularity, Lamar’s music can be surprisingly dense, taking shape in winding, album-length narratives (good kid, m.A.A.d city), live-band hybrids of jazz and funk (To Pimp a Butterfly), and quasi-conceptual explorations of self (2017’s Pulitzer Prize-winning DAMN.). Yes, he wants greatness. But he wants it on his own terms. “I’m not doing it to have a good song,” he said. “Or one good rap. Or a good hook, or a good bridge. I want to keep doing it every time, period. And to do it every time you have to challenge yourself, and you have to confirm to yourself—not anybody else—that you’re the best.” - Apple Music

Half of tiktok users in the US will gain attention span the other will learn Chinese so they can use Rednote

I love SZA but Luther is kind of boring

Luther is a tune but i wish their other collab 30 for 30 was in here instead, such a good song

First time hearing this. I really like it (usually SZA doesn't do it for me - I find 90% of her output to be dreary and I find her voice quite whiny) but this is very Raleigh Ritchie coded... it's lovely!

Biography

 

Born in 1990 in the small Irish town of Bray, Andrew John Hozier-Byrne—better known as Hozier—was first heard in the company of others, contributing his preternaturally powerful voice to Ireland’s renowned Trinity Orchestra and choral troupe Anúna. But where those early pursuits immersed him in his country’s rich musical traditions, his first single as a solo artist took aim at its most formidable institution. Few debut tracks come out swinging as hard as “Take Me to Church”, a doomy anti-gospel sermon that sets its crosshairs on the hectoring and hypocrisies of the Catholic Church, delivered in a commanding, corrupted-choir-boy voice imbued with equal doses of grace and grit. That striking single topped charts worldwide and scored Hozier a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year. Still, the self-titled debut album it introduced also showcased a singer-songwriter with a deft command of sweet soulful rockers (“Someone New”) and dreamy folk reveries (“Like Real People Do”). The dichotomy between rage and romanticism would only become more pronounced on 2019’s Wasteland Baby!, where some of Hozier’s prettiest performances to date (like the delicate finger-picked hymn “Shrike”) rub up against the righteous fury of “Nina Cried Power”, a spirited, Mavis Staples-assisted protest anthem that took him back to church to further rattle the steeple. The flames of protest burned on with “Swan Upon Leda”, a stirring prayer for women’s rights inspired by Egyptian feminist Mona Eltahawy and the Mahsa Amini protests in Iran. But all roads ultimately lead back home, and Hozier's next album, Unreal Unearth, centred Irish folklore and language across sprawling, searing tracks “Butchered Tongue” and “Eat Your Young”, collaged together with motifs from Dante's Inferno. In 2024, Hozier reminded fans that for every solemn paean, he can still pen a grizzled, hip-swivelling earworm, this time in the form of “Too Sweet”, a bluesy sinner's anthem that raced up the charts and proved his earlier successes were no mere miracle. - Apple Music

Myles Smith gives me Lawson energy. That is not a good thing.

I remember someone on RateYourMusic saying that Stargazing song feels like a money-laundering scheme, which is a scarily accurate description :lol:

Wonder what will happen if TikTok actually gets banned in the States. Might be easier for British talent to get hits!

 

Suddenly I'm all for this ban!!

 

Ayy nice to see this here! Not as good as the original though

I have to admit I am not really a fan of this cover oop. It’s fine but really nothing special, I wish it was some of his original material charting as for me this isn’t really doing much
