James, king of the emotional air horn

Listen, Fred could slap me directly across the face and I’d probably rate it five stars. Quieter , slower, more emotive instrumentation than his previous albums but I don’t hate it. Good stuff to hug ur friends to on the dance floor or soundtrack the pivotal scene in a coming of age indie film. The features on this are curated specifically for me (emmylou ??? R u kidding me ??) and tho I’ll always love a Fred/skrillex/four tet collab I am also thrilled to see him dating other people.

I have been flirting with Zach for a while but consider me comprehensively Bryan-pilled.

Simple on purpose and that's what makes it so good. Some unforgettably heartbreaking lyrics, "Your funeral was beautiful, I think I heard you come in" will be stuck in my brain forever.

its not a country album, its a Beyonce album

Brat's chill older boyfriend who lives in some sort of industrial flatshare in southeast London and microdoses shrooms at the club

I say this as the utmost of compliments, a few of these tracks have gotta be leftover from the I Saw The TV Glow soundtrack cutting room floor

I think this is her best yet (+ we mostly have the Jack Antonoff effect to thank for that) but still not very interesting, perhaps a little too all over the place w/ genre, and Juno is doing nothing to beat the straight people are weird as hell allegations.

I give this album 3.5/5 I give the Taste music video 5/5.

in short, I am a hot bisexual with two boyfriends who recently discovered she went up a cup size. I couldn't need or love this album more.

in long, I didn't care at all about charli until seeing her live two years ago and something about the sheer talent and queer euphoria in the room permanently and formatively altered my brain chemistry in a healing direction. Whatever the opposite of gay conversion therapy is, that's charli's music. BRAT is transcendent, bold, and genuinely interesting pop music. If I had this album when I was sixteen, I could have saved myself a lot of trouble, but I take solace in knowing there is a whole generation of figuringthmeselvesoutkids who do get… More

Genuinely artful and super interesting blend of electronic music, global rhythm, eastern melodies + alt pop. If this album was a fusion dish it would taste fucking crazy but in a good way.

there is something about arooj that cuts directly to the soul

Long boi, good vibes

A St. Vincent/Ethel Cain collab would go SO hard.

Anne if you are reading this I am free tonight if you would like to hangout when I am free tonight please call me if you would like to hangout tonight when I am free

Very fun, very dua, not particularly as advertised. Is the psych/britpop/homage to UK rave culture in the room with us now?

High key marina and the diamonds walked so the last dinner party could run, I am thrilled to have this level of operatic melodrama back in my life

It’s gonna be a big fat yes from me dawg, if Khruangbin got really lost in the desert and maybe encountered an alien or two on the way out

this is by far the weakest installment of her otherwise excellent repertoire of breakup albums, and possibly her weakest release ever … ? Amassing a billion US dollars, self-labeling yourself as tortured, and releasing a gratuitously unedited, pretty boring album full of garage band synth and elementary metaphor (one in which she literally compares herself to Jesus on the cross) does not a poet make

I’ve been procrastinating an opinion on this album for weeks now and it’s time to grow some balls and have one. Will I always have an immense soft spot for the early VW that soundtracked my 3am tumblr scrolls - yes, do I think they were better with full time Rostam - maybe, is this still a great album that effectively encapsulates the inner workings of an aging millennial, and was my initial resistance to it also an unwillingness to admit my own descent into adulthood - definitely

These guys are fun as hell, s/o last.fm algo for putting them in my life. Excited to see where they go next.

A pop pivot! Playful at its best, but mostly reads Disney Channel. (sealing the deal with a Sabrina feature)

Up Leeds & Up Jungle

A tight ten written over a tight five, takes all the best inspiration and pays due respect to the laurel canyon legends and y2k pop rock that paved the way while remaining uniquely raw. Her best yet.

That’s Margaret Rogers, MRPL to you bitches.

The growing up listening to The Chicks in the back of ur moms minivan to stanning Waxahatchee pipeline is alive and well. Full of passion, twang, and Katie’s unparalleled voice.

this bitch knows how to collab and has a killer DnB album inside of him somewhere I just know it. I'm calling a Fred x Chase & Status release in 2024.

My argue with the wall take is that Lizzy could soundtrack the most gut wrenching off-broadway romance if given the chance. Her whole discography reads like a pensive, follow spot, cheat to audience Act I conclusion and as a reformed theater kid I’m perpetually here for it.

Early appreciation for the twang and harmonies on Come Down Soon + Movie Star (big Golden Hour Kacey Musgraves inspo) & the build on Broken Glass

The severe chokehold this album would have had on the Skins UK soundtrack

nothing but bangers coming out of Houston this week. May mama Leezy + the gang live long and prosper.

low key Hejira-esque contemplative cross country reflections, missing some of the wit and rock that made me fall in love w/ MB but nonetheless a wonderful lil ode to the power of long drives, being in love, and low dose anti-depressants
