  1. Really some beautiful songs on here. Her lyrics have come on so much and I can really feel the divorce pain so strongly on here.

     

    I have always kind of being willing her to take a bit more of an edgy vibe or even continue along Massive Attack types lines sonically, and I guess I will have to continue waiting as she definitely doesn't do so with this record. 'Hurts' is an obvious highlight due to that, but I am actually content with the somewhat conservative approach she took with this album in the end. I may like some of the sonic choices so much because of my love for gospel choirs though.

     

    I'm sure a lot of people will brand this even more "boring" than her first album, but I think it is very true to her and it really is an album with one hell of a heart.

  3. I hate how entitled the white west believes they are. Especially white western men. Absolutely no idea of the luxuries we have by living in some of the richest countries in the world, and yet when not everything is going completely their way they feel hard done by and look to blame other people, whether that be the minorities, the vulnerable, "foreigners" or a corrupt establishment out to get them and ruin their already terribly hard life.

     

    Real sad indigtment of our so called 'progressive' outlook.

  4. As much as I hoped and prayed that this wouldn't come true I have to say I am surprised at everyone seeming so shocked.

     

    The idea that the polls and the predictions could be relied upon, did we learn nothing from Brexit? There will always be a small number of people who will not wish to divulge the fact they are voting for the side that would make them appear 'racist' based on worry of their reputation. It is the reason why Remain polled ahead the whole way and it is the reason that Trump was behind in the polls leading up. That small number when it's as close as this is the percentage points that swing it.

     

    I hope that somehow Clinton can still take it but what I had been suspecting for weeks would happen seems to be playing out exactly as I thought :(

  5. Can't believe this isn't even going to make the top 20 in the UK.

     

    This could become my favourite Alicia record ever and yet no-one seems to be interested. Such a shame her star has fallen when I really feel she's at her A-game.

  6. Yeah, Emeli was outstanding last night. One of the best I've seen her perform so no idea why it's made such little impact.

     

    I feel like people aren't really here for her second era which is a shame. Hopefully the album can at least sell 500k or there abouts with the Christmas sales helping. Can't see it doing much more than that though in total.
