The new album The Past is Still Alive by Hurray For the Riff Raff is fantastic.

OP, you forgot Le Sserafim!! Their album dropped this Monday!

Easy, Swan Song and Smart are so gooooood! I neeeeeeeeeed to see LSF in concert and have them do Smarter and Fire in the Belly as a one-two punch.

So yes, I've been listening to LSF's album and also IU's album. The first four tracks are really good (esp Sh...) but the fifth one is a let down.

i didn't forget them! i try to feature albums that either release on friday, or didn't get posted about throughout the week, and there was a post about easy.

[fauxkaren]

That's fair.

... but since we only talked about Easy in the other post, I'm sharing videos of a Swan Song performance and the Smart performance!

[mayjailer]

by all means!

I finally got around to listening to boygenius's album and really liked it. Also I really love the new SZA song Saturn.

Very excited to see this post so I can shit on Dustbin's absolute mess of a new song "Drown." Now does it sound better than Selfish? Sure, but that doesn't take much. Is the melody in the vain of catchy? Sure, I'll give him that. But it's yet another song where he's writing himself as the victim... really? After everything that's happened? I swear this guy is going as hardline against rational thought as possible. His fans are bragging cause it's number 5 on itunes and I'm sitting here thinking that even though it's better than selfish sonically, it's just as obnoxious if not more so than Selfish was subject wise and I just don't see how that's gonna translate without an absurd amount of payola. Even Taylor wrote anti hero, if even she can grasp that she's not ALWAYS the victim, Dustbin can. The guy is truly an insufferable narcissist. We'll see what happens but I don't think this was the song he needed to recover from Selfish flopping and I doubt a great video can save it. Also, he's conveniently had the flu for a month and a half

i was v intentional in not including "drown" in the post lmao. wish britney had a song with a similar title for stans to chart against it.

and ty for the heads up about the girls aloud remixes!

[zhenyaodin2]

I love that you didn't include him, he doesn't deserve that garbage song to be acknowledged. I didn't want to ruin a Dustbin free zone but I also deeply in my soul feel the need to trash him because he's terrible. It's hard to balance the two things haha. And you're welcome! I love that Girls Aloud are posting all their old singles and remixes onto streaming, they really have some gems.
